The Lies Our Characters Believe

February 26, 2020 By Dani Pettrey

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today I’m so honored to have my friend and fabulous romantic suspense bestseller, DiAnn Mills, guest posting today. When I was an aspiring writer, DiAnn was such a person of inspiration. I admired her talent and her kind and outgoing personality.
