First Official Blog Post

Well, I am proud to say that this is my first official blog to go along with my first official novel. Starting Over (Hart of Seattle, #1) by Lori Elen Maguire

My journey began last summer when I decided to take a writing class at my local community college. I have been unemployed since January 2009, and taking care of my two grandsons during the school year so my oldest can go back to college, so I needed to find something to do while at home. I've always wanted to write, but just didn't know where to start. I knew it wasn't as easy as putting pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, and I learned a great deal from the two classes I took. My final 500-word assignment was the beginning of Starting Over. The story just quickly took off from there.

It also must be said that I was not always interested in reading. I loved to write. I just didn't enjoy reading. During some hard personal times back in May of 2008, I picked up my copy of Twilight, which my oldest daughter had recommended to me two years prior to that, knowing my love of all things vampire. That's how long my copy sat around untouched. I went on to read the first three books in the series in under a week. Breaking Dawn was the first book I ever pre-ordered and went to a midnight release party for. My romance book addiction has just grown since then. I guess it was only natural that I would write a romance novel.

Starting Over is expected to be published on July 23rd. I hope you all enjoy reading about Xavier and Ella's story as much as I enjoyed writing about it.
