More terrifying than the Headless Horseman chasing down poor Ichabod Crane or chancier than taking a dip in Jason Vorhees’s Camp Crystal Lake is the thought of having to make friends when being a writer and the act of writing is supposed to be a solitary life. But we must make friends even if it initially seems like the last thing we want to do. Being an active member of the writing community is integral to our writing success and well-being.

It can feel awfully good to be just plain awful. You know it. I know it. And the dastardly-deed-dispensing villain in your story definitely knows it and wants to show it. But how do we go about showing it in a way that lets us make the antagonists of our stories as deep as our heroes? There are many ways to approach how to write villains and no one way is the absolute way. (The 7 Rules of Writing a Revenge Story.)My villainous intrigue began at a young age.

By Yasmin Angoe | May 30, 2023 | 5 Comments When I turned in the final proofs for the last book of my Nena Knight series, IT ENDS WITH KNIGHT, the deep sense of foreboding I’d been feeling while writing it became a paralyzing fear and self-doubt. My mind betrayed me, suddenly devoid of the multitude of ideas snatches of dialogue, and hellos from new voices that incessantly flittered throughout.

Yasmin Angoe hits all the right notes, once again delivering emotion and exhilaration throughout a twisting and deep story. After the death of her mentor, Nena steps up to lead the Tribe’s Dispatch and Network departments.
