Seeing posts from my favorite authors inspires me to write all the time. It was reading Lara Adrian’s books that inspired me to follow my dreams of writing, and look at me now; I’m a published author! I started writing, Loved Ones Lost, ten years ago off and on. Then one day in March of this year (2019), I was cleaning out the files on my computer and came across it. I read the prologue and 1st chapter (that's as much as I had written at the time), and thought to myself, "wow, this isn't that bad" and it just inspired me to finish it. At the time it was not supernatural, but once I started typing, all of the ideas just rushed out of me. Now I have published my first book which hit best-seller in 3 categories on Amazon within 6 days of publishing and there is still more to come! Six more books after this one in this series. I'm currently writing the next book in the Edgewater Curse series, Loved Ones Reassured...Matthew has a story of his own to tell!
There will also be other series spinoffs later down the line that are already in the works as well ;-)
Oh! I almost forgot to mention...A special surprise: If you would like a little side challenge, each of my books has their title hidden within the story. See if you can find it!
I noticed while writing Loved Ones Lost, that if I created a chapter layout beforehand, it helped me think of what I wanted to write about in that chapter. I’m a spreadsheet fanatic, so I created a list with three columns; the chapter number, the chapter subtitle, and a short description of what I wanted to happen in that chapter. I noticed that once I started creating it, more ideas started pouring into my head. I’ve also seen that sometimes I can be sitting there thinking, what should I write about now, but once I started putting my hands to work, the ideas and words began to flow out of me and the next thing I knew I had a finished book.
