As of May 30th , I can finally say that I am a published author! What an exciting day it was, too! I am so thankful to everyone who has lent a guiding hand and helped me along my journey to turn this dream into a reality. A million "thank you's" don't compare to the gratitude I have to each and every one of them.   While traversing through this writing experience, there were a few things I knew I had to achieve before I would ever think about publishing Terrapin.

I believe a cover speaks volumes. From the colors, the font, the detail. We nailed it! I couldn't ask for anything more.    The second aspect that weighed on me was that fact that when I hit the publish button, I could no longer hide behind the idea of being an auth...

Welcome to my little corner of the blogger world! First, let me tell you a little about myself... My love of reading developed later than most I'd say (in my 20's). During my elementary and teen years, I wasn't much of a reader to be honest. My attention wasn't focused on literature, but on sports and hanging out with friends. My goals were different then. I worked hard, became a professional cheerleader, then a collegiate D2 coach, judged competitive cheer at the highest level as well as various college tryouts.   Then, I met the man of my dreams, got married, and started a family. When I became a mother, "me time" was far and few between. A friend convinced me I had to read this book she just finished. I explained I wasn't much of a reader outside of my go-to US weekly and People magazines. With a little more prodding, I caved. To my surprise, I loved the book and immediately had to get my paws on the next immediately. Little did I know, a seed had b...
