On Writing



My word of the day is tenacity. On Friday, May 22, 2020 my first book, Windy Rafters Roughnecks: Book One: Mystery at the Barn, a novel for children ages 8-12, was published. This has been a four year project.
 The path was filled with starts and stops, obstacles and delays. I had no idea when I started writing how long it would take to have a finished manuscript. I've come to learn that a manuscript is never really finished. No matter how many times you rework it, you always find something to improve.

Despite the challenges, it has been a great learning experience. The story and the characters truly do take on a life of their own. I hope readers will enjoy the journey as much as I have!
