I don’t know if “always” is the word but certainly for all the years I can remember. I was a voracious reader, as were my mother and sister, and books held a royal place in our home. The funny thing is, I always thought I would write mysteries because that’s what we all read. I didn’t read my first romance until 2004, when I was sitting with the same three chapters of a mystery on my computer that had been there for three months. But then my eyes were opened, and they never closed. Submitting that first book was scary, but after a lot of rejections you stop being scared and become determined I’m glad I never gave up, because I am having the most fun in my life I have ever had. (Well, maybe not ever! LOL!) So here I am, with all these titles under my belt. Writing a book is a solitary experience but it never comes to the bookshelves, virtual or other, alone. For me, it starts with my friends, especially me best bud and critique partner, Cerise Deland, who is always there when I need her to help me plug those plot holes ad beef up the scenes.
