Barbara Witek Never give up. I know, you've probably heard that a million times, but it's the absolute truth! There are so many options now for authors, there's really no excuse not to make your dream come true. Write your story, perfect your story because that work is a direct representation of you. Those who never get published are the ones who quit or walked away.

My favorite quote (I received in a fortune cookie and have taped by my computer): DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY.

Words to live by, fellow writer's! Go forth and DO!
Barbara Witek Sharing my stories with others. I don't know how to put it any other way. Being able to write a story that makes readers feel good, fall in love and want more makes me happy and keeps me motivated to write the next book.
Barbara Witek I'm currently working on a Romantic Suspense series and I can't wait to release the first book! Be watching for it in early 2022.

Barbara Witek Music inspires me, alot. I'm a huge country music fan, but that doesn't mean that some of my daughter's pop favorites don't come into play while I'm writing the story to provide character motivation. Also reading some of my favorite authors. And believe it or not, even reading outside my genre helps my creativity by taking me away from what I normally write. It's actually refreshing to read a historical romance (my all time favorite) or even a mystery!
Barbara Witek The song "I Drive Your Truck" by Lee Brice. LOVE that song!! And every time I heard it, I had this vivid picture in my mind and before I knew it, Max Hamilton was born!
