Author bio:
In September of 2006 my daughter challenged me to stop talking about writing a science fiction novel but to sign up for National Novel Writing Month and actually write on. I did and started writing my Legacy Rising series completing 75,000 words on Legacy’s Gift.
I followed this with Legacy’s Dawn (2007), Legacy’s Longing (2008) and Legacy’s Challenge (2009). Last year I took a break and wrote The Unclocked Door (2010), which although in the same “universe” and my Legacy Rising series is not directly related to the others. In the last four years I have completed 100,000 words during Nano and hope to reach at least that many in 2011 when I work on The Legacy Conflict.
In 2010 I experience a major life challenge when my mother died on November 1st and much of the first week of November was a blur of travel to Florida for the funeral. Although I had uneven motivation I did come back, reach my goal and complete my novel.
I’d like to publish, but none of my works are fully edited yet where I would be willing to market them.
I have three adult children and two grandchildren and look forward to passing on a literary legacy born from these annual “thirty days and nights of literary abandon.”
