Author, Dreams Thrown Away

Author, Dreams Thrown Away

I began writing as a hobby at age 13.  I was inspired by a substitute teacher in the eighth grade who gave me an A+ for a short story assignment.   Among the many short stories and essays I have wrote over the years, I completed a novel that made it as far as a storage box in an old binder.   I rediscovered it over a decade later while cleaning out my basement.  That was in December 2008.  Bitten by the bug to write again,  I recreated the novel, Dreams Thrown Away.  In a tailspin of writing, editing, and researching publishing options, Outskirts Press published it on August 14, 2009.   I hope you get a chance to read it.

It has been a wonderful experience bringing a book to life.  I have learned so much about writing and self-publishing in the process.  I started this blog to share my experiences to help empower you to become a published author, too.
