My novel, Heartfelt, was published by
the Wild Rose Press in April. It was the first novel I've written since
I was 18. I fully intended to be a writer while I was growing up, and
was a creative writing major in college.
But
after getting married in my sophomore year, and having three children
close together, I found it impossible to find time to write. One day,
full of guilt, I gave it up, and almost immediately, my other passion,
art, took over. I've been an artist full time my whole adult life until
recently.
About three years ago, I
suddenly found myself caught up in the lives of characters that seemed
to come out of nowhere and took over my mind and my heart, demanding to
be heard.
I wrote Heartfelt in nine months, and enjoyed every minute of it. Now I'm working on my second novel. Life has come full circle!

Congratulations on coming back to your first love :-) What kind of art do you do? What a lucky person you are to have two creative outlets!
Good luck with your writing career.
