I love suspense because it adds that extra bit of excitement to a story. You’re on the edge, wondering what is going to happen next. Growing up, I wanted to be a ballerina. By the time I was a teen I realized that wasn’t going to happen since I lacked the talent. I finally settled for a stable future and studied Business Management in college.
Deena Adams
Hi, Cherie. I agree with you about the extra excitement suspense brings to a story. I enjoy trying to figure out “who did it.” Business Management is a far cry from ballerina, but I’d say you made a wise choice. I’ve always excelled in endeavors revolving around administration and organization. I loved all the business classes I took in high school. I got married right after I graduated so I never made it to college, but I probably would have majored in some kind of business degree. Looking back, I wish I had gone to school for creative writing. 🙂
Maryann
Dana’s books always keep me turning the pages.
I love reading romantic suspense. I love reading how the heroes and heroines are dealing with many obstacles and threats along the way but somehow they manage to develop a relationship with a hopefully happily ever after.
As a child I dreamed of being a teacher or nurse.
Deena Adams
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Maryann! Yes, if a romance can develop or flourish during all that mayhem, they’re meant to be together, right? LOL
Did you become a teacher or a nurse?
Paula Shreckhise
I love Dana’s books. She has an awesome Facebook page and videos that make me laugh. Her dog Junie is a rascal and her turtle is fun too.
Would love to add this to my collection.
Deena Adams
