What I Learned by Writing My Novel
As a 
long-time fiction editor, I often receive this question from clients: Have you ever published a novel?
The answer is ���yes.��� My 400-page Windmill tells the story of a fateful autumn when two brothers and their father ��� who run a ranch in western Nebraska ��� meet the new reporter in town...a young woman who is the spitting image of the mother/wife they lost years ago in a tragic car accident.
Written in the decade before I become a book editor, I spent about a year penning the novel. That experience ��� outlining and researching the book, developing the characters, plotting scenes, composing descriptions, weaving in motifs, drafting and revising, incorporating advice from critiques, and more ��� deepened my understanding and appreciation of writing. Along with the short stories I���ve published and the years of studying literature and creative writing at the university level, penning Windmill gave me the experience needed to help my clients become better authors.
Windmill: A Novel has landed on various Amazon.com bestseller lists for fiction and is available in paperback.
