Handmaiden of The Sun

I am 38 years old and married with two kids. I work in medical sales, so I've only recently started writing in my free time. Family has always been my first priority because I lost my father and brother at a young age. With that in mind, I wanted to bring each of my family members into my novel through characters, names, and personalities. From a young age, I have always loved a great story. My dream was to write my own, and ultimately take it to film. My ideas started with bedtime stories for my two children, and after some time, I have finally developed them into my first novel. As a young teenager, I watched my father sacrifice so much for our family as he struggled through a war with cancer. I wanted to represent those same qualities in my writing, and he quickly became the inspiration for my lead character, fighting in his own war.
