Why I write…
When I put pen to paper … or words to the screen … they flow through an event – an occurrence big or small that impacted me or that I believe will impact others. I take that and turn it into a message for the world via a blog post, work of fiction, inspiration and soon, my memoir.
Professional reviews are great to publicize the essence of the story through a critic’s eye and always appreciated. The true measure of impact though, comes from my readers.
I met Linda Wiggins at the Vibrant Woman’s Conference in 2008 when she purchased a copy of Perfect. She became an immediate fan and then a friend. In a recent Facebook message Linda wrote:

“…When is your memoirs book ready for release? I want to make sure I get my order in among the first.
I am on vacation around Florida this week and spent the first two days spelling my sister, Sara, who lives with and cares for our Mother who has Alzheimer’s. You’ll recall I ordered 365 Days of Gratitude and sent it to my sister. She keeps it out on the coffee table and I picked it up and started reading it aloud to my mother. What a delightful, spiritual experience. She loved it. I loved it.”
[This next paragraph was so cute and at the same time so entrenched in the reality of life, Linda, I just couldn't edit it out]
“This is probably too much information, but you have to kind of watch her on the pot to make sure she doesn’t try to get up by herself and fall forward, and I turned this time from a drudge to something less so as I read story after story to her. What a great book.
I did not spot Perfect out in plain view, but remember when I said I hoped that by sending her that enjoyable fictional account of Being Mrs. Right that she might actually take it to heart rather than be turned off as with traditional self-help relationship books? Well, she now has found true love and is happy as a horny teen. I am so thrilled, because she took on this [caregiver] job at my behest, and she is doing such a fabulous job, and now it is that she did not have to pass up the chance at finding love because of her choice to take the live-in caregiver role. … I guess I’ll never know for sure, but perhaps your book had something to do with this! In the event it is true, I guess you’d better keep writing and giving your gift!”
Thank you Linda, I will!
