Eight years ago, I set out to write a book -just one. And I did. A Letter for Hoot was published six years ago. Fast forward to 2023. I published my fourth (!) novel in mid October. Holy Moly. The minute I began this second career, I knew it was for me. Telling stories suits my personality, pushes my creative bounds and makes me work really really hard. The end product-holding a book with my name on it-is the best part. At events, people often ask what it feels like to be a published author. Various replies pop into my head: thrilling, scary, satisfying, fun, head-spinning, proud, and many more. Not only does reading take you away to places for however long you wish to be there, writing does the same thing. Getting lost in a fictional world-especially as the creator-is such fun. Yes, that world changes quite often which is the nature of the beast.
Writing four thrilling novels has been beyond gratifying and I plan on continuing to create worlds for all my readers in which to lose themselves. Thank you.
