In the beginning…

…woman wrote a book?

Today is the day I announce that I have written a book. A novel. A full entire story. I did this.

This is newsworthy for many reasons. First, this means I am writing again, which is something I haven’t done in almost twenty years. Second, I have done this while working a full time job, and caring for my teenage sons as a single mom. Not too shabby if you ask me.

So what’s this book about?

Great question. Let’s see if I can somehow do this justice. The novel, tentatively entitled The Maverick, is a fictional recount of a young woman’s journey through her own ‘Me Too’ story, and the choices she makes along the way. I realize this description left out about 4,000 additional details, but for now that’s the best I’ve got. I will be working with my editor to create the “story” for the story, and hopefully have a more intriguing way to describe the overall plot soon.

For now, I thought it would be a great idea to make the announcement, and put it out into the world that I have started to reacquaint myself with the written word. Also, it gives me the kick in the ass of accountability I need for me to see this through. So, if you’re reading this, thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for more developments as I navigate the world of publishing for the first time. Come back if for nothing else other than to be entertained by my spectacular public failures. This is going to be a bumpy ride..
