Like most writers, the real rewards for me come via meaningful interactions with readers and the fact that I love the process. Writing is like air sometimes--I have to do it to feel like I'm being true to myself. And, hey, I tried to quit, but I couldn't!

At a Book Talk at a senior apartment community, one reader who has read my romance books had a side conversation with me about the theme of alcoholism and recovery in the books. She thanked me for focusing on recovery and for giving information about how 12-step programs can work for individuals and loved ones. She said she'd learned so much about a topic that is often talked about but not much understood by people she knows. Conversations like that make it all worthwhile to me! (Bonus: she bought another book :-) --kateC. T. Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056021289925210090noreply@blogger.com
