As long as I can remember, I dreamed of penning a novel. I had this romantic notion that writers made big money and sat all day in cafes drinking espressos and thinking profound thoughts. I wanted to be part of that idealized world but didn’t know how to begin.
One day, while pregnant and irritable, I read a particularly bad mystery and got angry. “If that author can get published, then so can I,” I thought. With fury as my fuel, I proceeded to write my very own piece of mediocrity. Many contests, rejections and successes later, I began my freelancing career. All the while, I kept on working toward the publication of my fiction.
THE CLOVIS INCIDENT is the third manuscript I’d written. It was the first to sell. The other two remind me of just how bad I can be.
THE BELEN HITCH was published in 2005. And THE SOCORRO BLAST (January 2008) represents my third foray into the Sasha Solomon adventures.
Right now, I’m working on the 4th Sasha book and am starting a new series featuring Darnda Jones, a singularly misanthropic and quirky psychic, who was introduced in THE BELEN HITCH. Who knows? Sasha might make an appearance in Darnda’s series from time to time.
My advice to writers:
Read.
Write.
Learn to edit yourself well.
Learn to accept constructive criticism.
Don’t be afraid to revise and rewrite.
Let your work breathe and ripen before you send it out.
Never, ever, give up.
Writing cannot move another person without the author’s hard work and personal fortitude.
To all of you who dream of publication - believe me - persistence pays off.
