Angela asked Lurlene McDaniel:

How long did it take you to write and publish your first book?

Lurlene McDaniel Publishing was a whole different ballgame than today. Back then, I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. I met a woman who ASKED me to write a book for her company's fledgling Book Fair business! I wrote a couple of books for them quickly, but when I wrote SIX MONTHS TO LIVE, it took a few months to write (30,000 words) and I already had an editor at the company so it went right into production. The book came out in 1985, and still sells in book fairs today. I was blessed!
