As for back story, I hate it when it's dumped in a story instead of my getting to know the person a little at a time. I mean people don't just come up to a total stranger and tell them their life story. Whoa wait a minute, people use to do that to my father all the time. But in real life it just doesn't happen.yasmine phoenixhttp://www.yasminephoenix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19076326.post-84689156319494486172012-03-27T06:43:12.052-05:002012-03-27T06:43:12.052-05:00Melissa, I've read your books.
