I’ve run out of excuses. Let me try one more agent. That one agent expressed interest but needed more time. One editor suggested I try science fiction or young adult because those areas were “current.” I did think about that for an entire five seconds; but honestly, I don’t do anything that even hints at science. And young adult, let’s just say my stories might be too edgy for the last remnants of youthful innocence. Last month I tossed the last of my fear and published my book on Amazon – Kindle. More Than Chocolate (the book) has left the warm safety of my computer and is now available for all to read.
I wrote what I like to read; a book with strong characters, filled with humor, sadness, and the lurking danger we all find in life. We all read for different reasons. I love to read to escape life’s daily minutiae and to jump into a new world and visit for the evening. I like a happy ending so much that as a young teenager, I read Gone With The Wind three times because I so badly wanted Rhett Butler to stay with (what I see now as the terribly self-centered) Scarlett. But I also respect self-assured women and could not write a book where the man had to be the one who saves the woman. (Even if it’s only from herself.)
Please take my Mammoth Lakes mountain adventure, More Than Chocolate, out for a spin. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. And hopefully you will find yourself transported out of your every day world and into a different place, if only for a brief time.
