Judith L. Pearson Hi Nancy! It’s an amazing story for sure and will debut September 18. The publisher and I are tweaking the title but I’ll make sure to keep my Goodreads followers up to date! You’ll have to let me know your thoughts when you read it. Cheers!
Judith L. Pearson My new book, FROM SHADOWS TO LIFE: A BIOGRAPHY OF THE CANCER SURVIVORSHIP MOVEMENT, will debut on March 2. Lots of publicity prep for that.

But I'm so excited about the project currently being fleshed out. Let's just say it's the authorized, and untold, biography of an amazing woman! Intrigued? Stay tuned!
Judith L. Pearson Don't be discouraged if you get stuck - on a beginning, on a character, on a direction. I'm blessed to rarely be stricken by writers block, but when I do, I move away from that part of my book, and either delve into a different section, or research something else. It's almost like being better able to see stars when you DON'T stare at them, but rather see them with your peripheral vision.

One more tidbit - never be afraid to reach out to authors you admire. Ask them questions (without being a pest of course). There were so many seasoned professionals who never hesitated to give me a hand when I was starting. Literary generosity is #1 on my to do list!
Judith L. Pearson Writing, for me, is like taking a trip every day. I visit new places, meet new people, learn new things. And while my forté is nonfiction, I assume fiction writers feel the same thing!
