A journey begins…
Pearls of the Sea: Book One of The Sisters of the Moon Trilogy
As long as I can remember, a love for reading and writing has filled my heart and mind. I began at an extremely young age, reading everything I could get my hands on. My mother read to me every night as well. When I was just a little girl, I began trying to read things that were well beyond my capacity for understanding. My mother’s bookshelves were filled to the brim with books of all kinds. Books of every genre and 100s of authors. I still remember how they smelled and felt as I ran my hands over the spines. Taking them off the shelf one by one, I would flip through the worn pages, dog-eared, with frayed edges. Books my mother had read over and over. She always had a book on the kitchen table, her bedroom side table, the coffee table in the living room, and in the car. They were everywhere. Sometimes she would be reading 3 or 4 books at a time, switching back and forth depending on her mood, the weather, or the season. When she wasn’t working, cooking, and caring for me, she was reading and writing. She wrote poetry, short stories, and books throughout her life and I devoured them hungrily one after another, along with the books from the shelves. Sadly, she was never published. It breaks my heart because she was so amazing at writing, her imagination, just spectacular. She encouraged me to have a very active imagination as well and I developed the very same love of reading and then writing, that she possessed. I can never thank her enough.
When I was in school, all through my years, even when I was little, my teachers were so impressed with my ability to read books so quickly and to write. It was my favorite part of schoolwork and subjects and came so easily for me. When the assignments were given to read a book or to write something, it was like Christmas for me every time. Ralphie from A Christmas Story comes to mind when he’d given his theme to write, What I want for Christmas. When I entered high school, my teachers were in awe. I’ll never forget when my English teacher told me, “You’re going to be an author someday”. I loved every second of it and won several awards for my writing. My love for both reading and writing continued as I grew up but life went on as well and got busy. My mother sadly got sick when I was young and I took care of her from the time I was 11 years old until she passed in 2011. I had two daughters, got married and divorced, and moved from Wyoming to Kansas City. I continued caring for my mother and raising my daughters, sharing the same love for reading and writing as was gifted to me. They both love books, read to their children, and are thinking of writing their own books as well. How proud I am of them both, for so many reasons. I think about my mother every single day and I miss her so much I can’t stand it. But I truly believe her spirit watches over me and my loved ones. I can feel her with me all the time.
These last five years, I have found love with an intelligent, fun, amazing man. In many ways, he has changed my life. He is very supportive of my writing, which means the world since it takes a great deal of my time. We love to be together, get outside and do things, plant and grow flowers and vegetables, watch movies and football, and spend time with our children. He has four daughters, so between us, we have six beautiful girls! What a blessing they and the grandchildren are! We love them all so much. For the last two years, I have been writing constantly and finished “The Sisters of the Moon Trilogy”. There are many more starts for other books and several more trilogies as well, all in the works. I always planned and knew I would write at least one novel, just to know that I could do it and bring a dream to life. Writing three, being published, and realizing it’s what I want to do for the rest of my life, was beyond what I set out to do. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me every time I write a paragraph and sit back to review it and think, “Wow, that’s great!” But it takes work, dedication, and drive. Organize. Read everything you can about writing a novel. Research your topics, places, and facts (unless it’s all fiction). Make a storyboard, chapter outlines, lots and lots of notes, and edit, edit, edit. You’ll be glad you did.
I’m a writer, now an author, and just simply a woman who wants to share her passion for literature with the people she loves, and the world. I hope you enjoy my books and if one isn’t up your alley, wait for the next. I have so many genres I want to write about so you’ll have your pick eventually. I can’t wait to share all the adventures with you all. Please, support your local libraries and bookstores, your friends and family that are trying to write and publish, but most of all, support yourself. Take your time and write that book you’ve always wanted to. Take the journey and let your imagination run wild, let your thoughts flow, and your fingers type. You can do it and it’s truly a magical thing! Until we meet again…
Cheers!
