An Accidental Romance Writer
My Journey
My goal in blogging is to expound on what I’ve learned along my journey as a writer: the trials and tribulations, and the joys and accomplishments. I will occasionally share craft, in case you’re considering writing your own novel. I am by no means an expert, but I’ve learned many lessons and happy share. But mostly my intent is to connect with readers. The author/reader bond is a profound one and I hold it close to my heart. I will post weekly, each Thursday, and look forward to chatting with readers and authors alike.
