She&#8217;s worked in a coroner&#8217;s office as a forensic scientist, has testified in dozens of homicide trials, and has examined her share of fingerprints. It&#8217;s no wonder that, as an author, she gravitates toward suspense novels and dark subjects. Though she&#8217;s written books under another name, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve always felt that voice is the reflection of your POV characters&#8217; personalities, the way they want their story to be told. And I&#8217;ve found that I can&#8217;t nail down the voice for my novels [...]]]></description>

I love reading prose fiction &#8212; but in my heart of hearts, I&#8217;m a movie junkie. It&#8217;s a brilliant way to economically tell stories, and I enjoy the creative constraints the medium has: [...]]]></description>

Your voice already exists, right now, every time you sit down to write.  It is inescapable—your voice is you.  Voices can be obscured, even buried, under avalanches of helpful advice and nudges to be more literary or more commercial or less gritty or less sexual, but it cannot be entirely lost.
