Thanks for finding the new Blog tab. I am not sure what is going on with the other tab, but hopefully this will work!
I wanted to add the background of how this whole publishing experience started.
I am a private daycare provider with a huge imagination. I have always loved dreaming and writing. After working out in the "real world" for twenty years, I decided to "retire" and stay at home and play with kids every day!
What an awesome choice I made. If not, Eliza would of never happened and I would of never followed my dreams.
I wrote Eliza while the daycare kids were napping. I never planned on it ever being read by anyone, let alone being sent to a publishing company.
I got done writing the book and I gave it to my Mother to read when she was leaving on a vacation.
When she got back in town, she did not tell me, but she sent my manuscript into publishing companies.
I was shocked when my phone rang and it was a company offering me a publishing contract!
God love my Mother for believing in not only me, but my longest dream.
I signed on with Tate Publishing out of Mustang, Oklahoma and it has been a journey since then. I have learned so much about the writing world, but have so much to learn!
I am having the best support by my family and friends with Eliza and the feeling of achievement is priceless.
I made most of the characters in Eliza from my real life friends and family, and put a magical twist on their life. I wanted to show how much certain people in my life mean to me. Friends are so hard to find and I wanted mine to know how much I cherish them.
I hope you all enjoy e
