Every writer dreams of the day when the book they’ve labored over for years becomes reality.  You can’t help but want to walk around with a silly grin on your face and tell everyone you meet about your new book.  About how dreams come true.  About the goosebumps and the tears and the flipping stomach.

Eighteen months is how long it took to publish my book.  I’ve heard that birthing elephants is only a little bit longer, and involves a lot of kicking and screaming.  Any kicking I did was a “happy dance” and my screams were of joy.  That’s not to say the whole process of writing, editing, and publishing a book is fun.  Far from it.  You lose sleep.  You lose confidence.  You lose hope.  But if you really want it, you keep on going forward, no matter how many steps back, you always take another step – forward – toward your goal.

During a meeting last week (day job) they asked me what animal described me best. My instant answer was Bull Dog, because of my tenacity, strength, and loyalty.  I grabbed hold of the dream and I never let go.  You other writers out there…don’t give up.

Thank you for your interest.  Please take a few minutes to read the excerpt (Novel tab) and advanced reviews on the Book Reviews page. I hope you’ll buy my book and enjoy the ride.
