Hello!
I've come from a family of avid readers. My mom would get ten books weekly out of the library and it wasn't long before I followed suit.
Passing on a career in journalism to work at a police service, (who wants to report the news when you can have first hand knowledge). I guess all those Nancy Dew mysteries put a bee in my bonnet.
Fast forward 15 years, when I saw an article in our local paper about a romance writing workshop. I attended the workshop, went home and wrote 75,000 words over a long weekend. Put together a synopsis and sent it off to a publisher. The next week I heard back that she wanted to read more. Well this is easy, I thought.
That's when I realized how little I knew about writing. So I took numerous courses, and after countless rewrites, I got the email.
The Wild Rose Press wanted to publish my little story.
I got the bug.
