It seems so much more immediate and in my opinion draws the reader deeper into the story. Third creates a distance.

My first novel (published in 1979, back when the dinosaurs roamed outside the cave) was in first person, as have been several since. I find it easier. Also, the books I grew up loving – lots of Mary Stewart and Phyllis A. Whitney, et al – were done in first, so it seems natural. I do wish it were more widely accepted.

Congrats on the new release, Sasha.

I’ve never heard a book explained like this, 1st & 3rd person. “My PREROGATIVE” sounds so incredible, it’s something I must read. :) Those reviews are enough to get my interest even more peaked.
