Have you always wanted to write?

Not long ago someone asked me that question. Growing up I never dreamed I had the ability to write a book. I loved to read but never expected to become an author. I have always had an insatiable curiosity, a huge imagination and an inability to monitor what comes out of my mouth.  That inability has cost me a lot of friends over the years.  Maybe that is why I write, on paper I have the control I do not have in everyday life.  In my manuscripts all of my characters understand each other perfectly and never get angry, unless I choose to add a misunderstanding for dramatic effect.

I love to read and my choice of books range from feel good stories to mysteries. There is nothing like a lazy afternoon, music playing quietly on the stereo and a good book, unless it is a well made movie. I sometimes get upset when some movie producer takes a favorite book and changes the story line to make  it into a mediocre movie.

If you happen to be one of those people who has a story to tell, then go for it. You never know until you try.

I have ventured into the area of children’s books. Don’t worry I will be sure to let you know when “Eric Finds A Friend!” is available.

Happy reading, Linda
