After twenty-five years of writing everything from screenplays to news features and magazine articles; from children’s books and videos to advice columns and book reviews, I can finally pronounce today that I am a published author! My debut book, Wedlocked: A Novel, has just gone live and is available for purchase:
Today, an awesome thought has been revolving through my mind: People I’ll never even meet will now be experiencing my heart, soul and guts as translated onto the written page. Many authors feel that way, but it’s especially true when it’s a story inspired by true events and told by the person who lived them. That’s the case with Wedlocked, which was inspired by my impulsive first marriage and its disastrous aftermath. It took a few years before I could make it funny; I’m glad I waited. It made the story so much more enjoyable to write and to read.
With so many glowing responses from such a wide variety of people I can tell you this—nothing makes you feel quite as good as knowing your creative work is enjoyed and appreciated—that you can make people laugh, tear up, and want more.
So now, I leave the safe seclusion of my home and enter the world to market my wares. I’m going to share my experiences with you via this blog. I have a feeling we’ll all learn a lot and hopefully enjoy the journey!
