I have 10 titles with Barbour, both Heartsong Presents novels and novellas in 4-in-1 collections. Through my mind are running multitudinous author interviews I’ve read and gleaned from, and for the most part, this is what they say: that voice “finally” comes… I think I’m in the developing stage. KD: Voice is something that is developed, generally speaking.

By definition, if you have a unique writing voice (which everyone does) you should already possess it and not need to work at acquring it. WPWT: How did you find your unique writing voice?
