It takes a village…

Writing is–for me–a solitary pursuit. It’s my passion, it’s my creative outlet, it’s my hobby; but it’s not something I share with people IRL. Only two people in my  life know that I have been actively working towards publication.

But, over the years, I’ve been fortunate to “meet” and be supported by so many authors/editors/readers online. Help, advice, and guidance has been offered to me in countless ways and I am grateful for all of it. Thank you to the wonderful cps and readers on Ladies Who Critique, the supportive and inspiration communities that pop up during #NaNoWriMo and #SoYouThinkYouCanWrite, and my amazing editor Danica Paige.  I never imagined I’d brave enough to publish my novel and I owe all of you a huge debt of gratitude.

I want to thank you too. If you’ve read my book, found my website, or discovered my twitter, thank you for that and I hope you’ll stick around. I have more stories to tell and I’m anxious to share them all.
