Being a published author was never a dream of  mine. In fact, it was something I fell into.
But once that happened, writing became a total obsession. At the risk of boring

My Writing Dream Come True by Lynn Lovegreen

I’ve been lucky enough to have many writing dreams come true. When I first started writing, my dream was to finish a book. Once I did that, thanks to NaNoWriMo (https://nanowrimo.org), then my dream was to write a good book, one people would want to read. After many years of writing, critiquing, and revising, I did write a decent novel, which became Fools Gold.

My Dream Almost Came True by Paty Jager

Acceptance, that seems to have always been my struggle. Growing up in a small rural community where most of my classmates were from families that homesteaded the area, I felt like the "California Girl" all of my childhood even though I was 2 when we moved to Oregon.  I didn't fit in. I read all the time, I was shy, and I was always around boys when I wasn't at school. My two brothers and my

I had a dream of being loved. It came true but it wasn’t easy

“Romance has the power to heal hearts. It did mine.”

“ I'm inspired to write about couples who bravely challenge beliefs
that prevent them from having a loving relationship. They share a journey that
