Breaking down what makes a story work
" I binge-watched the AMC series Breaking Bad.

My critique partner is celebrating new covers for her series and a new novelette with a giveaway!
"The Daath series has new covers! With the novelette publishing this December, and the final book set to publish in spring 2016, the series got one heck of a makeover."
