Wendy, I was fortunate to have an old Air Force buddy (sound familiar?) in Arkansas that is a published author and he recommended me to his publisher, Pen-L Publishing. The rest, as they say, is history. I was very fortunate to never (yet) experience a rejection letter, and Pen-L gave me a contract for my second novel, Copperhead Cove, due out in October.
Thank you for your question and for your wonderful review of Molly's Moon.

Knock on wood, I haven't experienced writer's block yet, and I have two completed novels. Whether it's luck, chance, an active left brain or whatever, I feel blessed. But I know it's out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting to grab me if I get too confident.

I love writing for the pure joy of writing and creating something that didn't exist before. When a novel is completed and a story takes life, it is a feeling that is hard to describe. I bawled like a baby when I wrote the last words to Molly's Moon, not realizing I still had hours and hours of edits and rewrites ahead of me.

I'm a 'pantser', meaning I write from the seat of my pants. When I get in front of my computer, cup of coffee steaming beside me, I'm inspired and ready to create. Most days I write for 3 to 4 hours straight, or until my bladder gives out.

Write, write, write and keep on writing and never give up. You never know what is just around the corner.

I was in the Netherlands during the 9/11 crisis and was stuck over there for five days. My two children used to go to Tecate, Baja California, Mexico, each year on home-building missions with their high school. I thought what a great story it would be to combine the two into what eventually became 'Molly's Moon'.
