Chuck Locklear is a retired educator, seasoned speaker, and longtime blogger. He holds a master’s degree in Curriculum, Instruction, and Leadership, and brings more than thirty years of experience as a teacher, administrator, magazine publisher, and motivational speaker. He now serves as pastor of WarrenHope in Warren, Michigan.

A proud member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina—the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi—Chuck draws on his heritage in his writing. While Jane is a fictional character, she could easily belong to the long line of ancestors who shaped his story.

Luckily, I have a good beta reader group, and one of the women consistently flags words and phrases for me. I've gotten to the point where I check the etymology of words often, using Dictionary.com. For my novel, I used some Tuscarora words, but not so many as to be distracting for the reader. I'd err on the side of reader understanding. For my next novel, I went back to 1607. That made the challenge even tougher. I had to stick with words familiar to Tutor England. I only had one experience with an editor at Histria. I got less interaction than I had hoped for. I'm glad for a strong beta reader group. (less)

I've been pleasantly surprised; they publish many more books each year than I originally thought. Now, they have partnered with Simon & Schuster for all their distribution, marketing, and sales. That has been a strong upgrade.(less)

Get inspired. Discover what inspires you and do it each day, each week. It may be time spent praying; it may be singing in the choir; it may be reading devotionals, like this one. Maybe, it is paddle boarding on a calm lake.
