I've always loved writing, but when I was young, I heard constantly how it's hard to make a career out of writing and it did deter me in a way. I used to do a lot more educational, informational and technical writing working in health care. But when I was pregnant with my first child, I applied to a creative writing school to get back into the style of writing I was passionate about in hopes I could finally start doing what I love and spend more time with my family. I was accepted and after a few years received an additional degree before I finally published my first book.
