Brief Author Bio:

There is nothing (except for God, my family and my freedom) more important to me that getting this novel written. That means I put so much pressure on myself that some days I just freeze up. What's so nuts about that is that I'm a professional, published writer. I've won some contests, had plays produced, had stories published and have an MFA. I can do this and I will!
What's different now (in writing this novel) is that I have the world's best support (my accountability partner, Joan), and I'm doing affirmations every morning to shake loose my brain's negative mantra. I start my day with "I'm a published novelist and my book is the best thing I've ever read." (I'm sure yours is, too.) We can do this!
