Hi Cynthia,
I am one of those that spent her childhood always telling stories – making what happened in my real life just so much more exciting by “embellishing”. Of course, my family said I was a “fibber fanatic,” but I believe I was just exhibiting my underlying writing talent! But when I was in high school and took some creative writing classes, that’s when my desire to be a writer really took off. Since then, I’ve been pursuing my passion in one form or another. And congrats on the new book!

I haven never felt the urge to be a writer.

Hi, Liza! Thanks!! Oh, there’s always time–and good luck!

Thank you, LaDonna! You are so nice!
Writing is something wonderful to capture a heart, isn’t it?

Cindy, I loved your post! I smile thinking how similiar our childhood was. I, too, daydreamed and made new endings to books and movies. And it wasn’t surprising that writing captured my heart too. I can’t wait till your newest release comes my way. I’ve had it pre-ordered for a while now.

Congrats on the new release and a month isn’t too far off. I admit that I’ve always wanted to try to write a book, but just haven’t given it a try yet. My uncle is a poet, and he had only been published in the last 10 years. I figure I still have some time.

Oh, Stacy, I’ve got tons of horrid poetry around, too–I try to never, every let light hit those pages! Poetry has never been my strong suit! (And thank you for the congrats!)

Thank you, limecello! I can definitely see where grad school might slow down writing a bit. Busy lady!

Hi, Rhonda! Sounds like you’ve had a long relationship with writing–and an enduring relationship is the best kind!

Brandy, thank you!! I am so glad you enjoyed my book. And, oh, you’re a music lady? I’ll confess to being envious–I always wanted to have musical talent (or to be able to play one instrument without making the folks around me wince). But, alas, for me, that was not meant to be so.

I wrote stories and poetry when I was younger and I still write poetry now. But, I know my limitations and I don’t have a strong enough “gift” to write books. Not to mention I discovered music was a true calling then. Which is okay, because that leaves me open to enjoy reading! And may I say HOTTER AFTER MIDNIGHT was FANTASTIC!

Congrats on the almost here release date!

I’ve loved stories for as long as I can remember. In middle/high school I was very into writing essays and articles, even had a couple published. I was in my early twenties before I ever read a romance novel and it was another decade before I realized the running stories in my head might leave me alone if I wrote them .

Congratulations on the new release! I love the cover. As to the writing bug… in elementary school we had to write stories all the time. Most other students would take a few pages – mine numbered into 10s-20s – and we had to read them aloud too. *laughs* I haven’t written in a while, but grad school seems to take all of my time :-\
