Can’t Believe This Is Actually Happening

I always dreamed of being an author. Now it’s actually happening!!!

This last summer changed everything for me.

In the midst of suffering through depression and anxiety I felt this strong urge to start writing a book. I had always said my problem was that I had no creative ideas of what to write.

Finally one day while I was pushing my toddlers in the swings I said a prayer in my head asking for an idea because the pressure on my chest to write a book was driving me crazy.

Then boom.

An idea for a fantasy book was born.

Now you might be thinking, “Madelyn, you’re publishing a romantic comedy. What happened to your fantasy book?”

Well I started it and about 10,000 words in I got stuck. But than another romcom idea hit me. Then ANOTHER romcom idea hit me and I’m running with this third idea.

That third idea was born after reading Townshipped by Savannah Scott and in the midst of watching the movie Cars for the 15,000 time with my kids.

One night I was talking to my husband while he was doing dishes. We were chatting about the amnesia trope (which Savannah Scott does marvelously in Townshipped by the way) when I had the idea to combine it with the plot line of the movie Cars.

That was the birth of Winning My Queen.
