Troy’s comments from the Write, Wrote, Written group.

I published my first fiction novel, , in June and just finishing the second draft of my next novel. Hoping to release that next summer if all goes well.

I will also be holding my first book signing for Stranger's Dance this coming Saturday so hopefully that goes well.

Stranger's Dance is available in paperback and Kindle through Amazon or by order at any bookstore.

Nicely done. You did a great job with the range of emotions and pace of the story.

Not sure if this is the right location for this topic but I'm curious to get other authors input on the topic. Specifically about getting emotionally invested in a particular scene(s) in your project.

It makes sense to me to be emotional about a subject that you have personally experienced but I've found myself getting blurry eyed or angry writing about events I have never experienced. To me this is a good thing because it allows me to transfer that feeling into words with the intent of having the same emotions felt by the reader but wonder if I'm just odd or if this is normal for most writers.

Is your experience as a writer similar?

Growing up on a ranch and also founding a dog rescue group gave me plenty of experiences where I saw animals having positive impacts on peoples lives. I wanted to combine that experience with stories of human struggles and triumph.

I'm all about advertising :D If you love dogs, love history in the 1930's, love Montana or the rocky mountain region, or just love, then Stranger's Dance is for you.
