She writes: When I began my writing-for-publication journey almost twenty years ago, I'd have given anything to have a how-to book that showed me exactly what to do, what not to do and what to expect from the beginning of the process all the way through till I was holding my book in my hands. And, I'd have given anything to have a teacher who was filled with confidence, optimism and a loving-kind grace and patience to help me navigate the process and make my dreams come true. A sense of humor would have been a fantastic bonus. With this book, I've written the book that I longed for, and I'm honored to be the kind of teacher that I was looking for. The voice inside my heart, the one that every time I've listened to it has led me to exactly what I need to be doing according to my life purpose, whispered to me many times that I had to write this book.
