Fish, for hitting the ninth anniversary with Lani. Let's hope they both remember next year. Ten is kind of a big deal.
Holly:
I have heard that there is a rule that my antagonist should not be the love interest for my protagonist. I am sure that I have read many, many books where this rule is discarded, but could you talk about why I would my book will be weaker if I were to use this construction, please?We Recommend!
