Suzanne Kamata
I was inspired by the girl groups of Motown in the 1960s, like The Supremes, and also by the Riot Grrrl movement that took place in the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s, and by the incredibly creative people I've known in The South.

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Thanks for writing back! Do you remember Mrs. Scheuerle, Cramer, Klemp or Houle? They are retired teachers, principal or librarian that are in my book club. Sorry we missed you when you were here. We just found your book "Mermaids..." and are reading it for club. This book will be great for the middle schools. We are planning to donate them to GH schools when we're done. Tell us more soon. Thanks
