I can tell researched well, but her writing isn't as dynamic as it could be. Still, I enjoy her stories to this day.<br /><br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634682259702186282.post-71010268792140437432013-10-18T06:17:20.524-07:002013-10-18T06:17:20.524-07:00Very interesting post.

In fact, I would like to write one, but there aren't many editors these days who are looking for stories in first person. Victoria Holt will always be my favorite Gothic author, and I read her books again, and again. Interesting, though to me, nowadays, I can see a lot of repetition in her dialogue that gets on my nerves. A problem with over-critiquing without thinking about it, I guess. Anyway, your article at this time of year was perfect. Enjoyed coming by. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237137146322873116noreply@blogger.com
