Intros & Newbies Greetings and Salutations!

I have written professionally for 37 years and after "retiring" three years ago, penned my first novel (yes, sometimes it takes that long to get things right). I am presently editing book #2 and am looking forward to learning from this group as I truly believe as long as we are living we are learning.

Welcome and congratulations on finishing your first novel. What kind of writing did you do in your previous life?

Nice to meet you Amber! I have a degree in journalism so I started as a reporter and then editor. I moved on to public relations, advertising, corporate communications and marketing positions. I always said: "If I could retire young enough and still had enough brain cells, I would write a novel." I'm now working on book #2!

That's the way to go, M. When the story hits, it's hard to stop, right? Excellent. Karla

Nice to meet you, too! I’ve penned my first book but my day job is marketing/communications after starting my career in journalism. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to write everything I want to write!
