Sunday Small Talk & 100 Things

So I'm staring down at the pipe at a very busy August. On the 14th Snowbound is out. On the 19th Boldly Go my freebie Vegas wedding story will be out. On the 21st out comes Soldiers of the Sun, my second novel. It's going to be fun. Hectic. Insane

And that's why I was so disappointed as a girl reading the books I did. There were very few books of the type I wanted to read with female characters at all. If there were, they were usually the younger tagalong sister except in one two-book series as I recall.

So I'm all for there being all sorts of characters in novels and stories. Definitely. Everyone should be able to find someone to relate to in the written word.

See i never had that trouble with YA. There were always female leads in most of what I read.

But I agree people should

I don't remember reading YA until I was in college, really. What I'm talking about are the younger reader books, like tweens or pre-teens. Very difficult to find female protags in those back when I was a kid.

again, didn't have that problem since I read mostly mystery and there were plenty, if not almost ALL female protagonists

I read a couple of mysteries but I liked animal books and fantasy when I was youngest.
