I published my first book myself when I was 21, and the funds it created helped put me through the second half of my college years. Then, Harper and Row, Publishers, Inc. (now HarperCollins) bought the expanded, second edition, and I was off and running. Today, after a long, wild, frustrating, disappointing, exciting, harrowing, wonderful (you get the idea) ride in the writing world, I am published in both fiction and non-fiction. The purpose of this channel is to share my work and encourage other writers to pursue their passion!
