Well, mine aren't. Mine are either about crazy people or are a fantasy of some sort. I'm GOOD at writing horror stories, but I PREFER to write fantasy. So I do both. One thing I always do is put myself in y books. Usually as a minor character that only appears once or twice, but sometimes as a major character (though when I make it a major character, they aren't exactly like me). I also base almost every character on someone. So Near, if you're reading this, Look for a book called "Never Never" that I plan to publish soon. You're in it. And Di, don't tell him who he is!! Let him find out when I write it.
