Sondra Sykes Meek is originally from Florida, but has lived in several locations in the United States and abroad. She is a wife and mother of two, a retired Marine Corps master sergeant, and a Project Manager in the Defense Industry. She has a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, and has several stories in various stages of progress. She hopes to write full-time one day, but for now, she writes in the spare, quiet moments of her life.

I also used essential oils and waterfalls to relax my mind. When I needed a creative spark, I would turn to books about writing; my favorite of them is The 3 A.M. Epiphany. (less)

However, no matter how well you write, ensure your book is edited prior to publication! As a reader, it is extremely frustrating to read a book with a great plot and poorly written prose. I consider myself a strong writer and still purchased two rounds of professional editing services for Model Marine. I have received reviews that commented on how well written my book is. Even so, I will likely opt for three rounds of edits on my next book. The cost of professional editing is worth the results!(less)
