I'm gearing up for a weekend workshop retreat with screenwriter, Michael Hauge and a group of very talented romance authors. One of the recommended reads for the workshop is the fabulous book, Ain't She Sweet by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Those Southern settings slap me back home so fast my heart spins. Are there certain elements in books that do that for you? Maybe it's the setting. Maybe it's something else?
