Under the weather – followup Yesterday, I wrote about my month-long cold/whatever it is/was. However, since I wrote about my ills over the last month, I feel the need to write a followup. Most important of all is … thank you for all of the kind words sent to me wishing me get well soon….
Why do you think you have these images and scenes bombarding your mind every day? Every day of my life, for as long as I can remember, I’ve had constant imagery flooding my thoughts, night and day. As a child, the images reflected my interests or extended the experiences of the day. I can remember…
A Reader’s Perspective by Janet Maggio I ask myself why readers are buying the ‘Her Client Trilogy’ en-mass compared to the ‘Mona Bendarova Adventures’? The ‘Her Client Trilogy’ are short novellas depicting a woman, Jolene who is tortured, brutalized and sold into Human Trafficking. Is it because this subject is relevant to today and the…

HOLIDAYS AS THEY RELATE TO MY CHARACTERS Are there holidays in Mona’s Realm? Holidays are completely different in Mona Bendarova’s world. Introduced in ‘The Taste of Honey’, Mona’s community comes together for monthly and quarterly celebrations. There are no holidays per se commemorating people, specific events or beliefs. Monthly celebrations are more of a community gathering where…
Progress Update I’ve decided to begin posting progress updates on my writings. I’ll try to do this weekly but you’ll forgive me if I miss a week. ‘Her Client Trilogy’ Sales are still going well. I find it interesting that sales seem to be split pretty evenly between North America and Europe. If anything, the nod…
Tell me about Mona’s love affair with Coffee Mona doesn’t just love coffee. She has an intimate relationship with it. She drinks it because she enjoys the flavor and aroma.
