New York Times Bestselling author speaks openly about the ups and downs of a professional writer's life as she crafts her next novel. Everyone wants to be a writer, right? Here's where you'll get a taste of the bitter and the sweet. You'll also get the unique experience of stepping inside the strange but fascinating world of the creative mind.
When people read my books and find out I was involved in police work, they expect a large woman. I'm five three, with wavy red hair, Mom's English complexion and Dad's Irish nose. I fit the image of the ditsy writer perfectly. I walk into walls, don't always listen when I'm in the middle of a book, and can disappear into my work for months on end. Along with my writing life, I'd like people to experience my spiritual side as well, so hopefully, you'll stay with me when I take off on a tangent. You always write better when you write about something close to your heart. I have one very good friend outside of my husband and family. This year I made a committment to develop an actual social life, something most writers abhore. I'm already trying to wiggle my way out of it by writing this blog.
