My book is currently with an editor and she informed me she would be
It hit me the other day that I’m a published author because of my mother’s death. I asked myself would I have walked past my fears if she were alive and I had to answer no. When she was alive I was afraid to deal with my fears. I wasn’t even acknowledging them. Her death woke me up to all the things I wasn’t doing in my life. She’d always believed I’d be published and

I was that way for many years.  I loved talking about writing, but I wasn’t doing much writing.
