Welcome!

Welcome!

This blog was originally dedicated to my journey from a writer to a traditionally published author. Since that time, my interests have changed and I self-published my debut novel, Heavenly Matchmaking: Meant To Be, as an e-book. Now this blog will serve as an outlet for my thoughts on my writing and self-publishing journeys, as I endeavor to have a life, work my day job, promote my novels, and write my next. (Though I expect my postings on My Journey Blog will diverge some from the topics of writing and publishing.)

I’d like to thank a few friends who have been especially supportive so far in my writing journey:

Renee’ Fournier and Andrea Wojciechowski who read much of the escapism from ninth grade until college – Thank you for the pain you endured!

Renee’ Fournier, again! – For reading the first chapters of my novel Liberating London, being encouraging, and never demanding the rest of the book.  I promise that one day…

Richa Bhatnagar and Marvel Hitson – For Beta Reading Heavenly Matchmaking: Meant To Be with lots of enthusiasm!

Richa Bhatnager and Kiki Deans - For Beta Reading Truce or Consequences.

My Parents – For having always had faith in me, regardless of the task I had in mind.

My Dear Husband – For taking up so much slack to allow me to write for 10 hours a day on weekends during NaNoWriMo, and for letting me disappear into my own worlds so often the rest of the year.

My Children – For loving me back.
