I write books about men falling in love in various settings and times.

Why tackle length? I should stop reading anything that has to do with writing "rules"... As ever, I won't follow the one on length either... I write as much as I have in me for that story and then put my files together. The final word count will reveal itself then. I have roughly 6 to 8 pages per paragraph, and I write in Calibri font 11... This gives you an idea how big my books are, or will be. The upcoming book is close to 400 pages with this font size, and I am not going to divide it in two.
For me, this is a standard page count for a book and it can go up to 600 or more, so I am not obsessing over word count or page numbers, it is the story that dictates, my characters, my raging heart and imagination. You name it. My books will take time to read, and they are to be savoured slowly, maybe curled up in a sofa, because, as every roller coaster, they start slow, and the next thing you know, you are having the ride of your life.
