My road to publication has been an exciting ride to say the least.
My award winning short story, "The Golden Pathway," placed 12th in the 77th Writer’s Digest Writing Competition in the category of Children’s/Young Adults. Within the same year (2008) I met publisher, Lynda Burch of Guardian Angel Publishing at the 2008 Muse Online Writers Conference and I took the next step in my writing career and submitted said entry for consideration to Guardian Angel Publishing. After editing rounds and much to my pure delight, Ms. Burch accepted The Golden Pathway.
K.C. Snider has certainly done a phenomenal job in illustrating the book cover! The talents of Ms. Snider brought my story to life. I can hardly wait for the story illustrations.
More on the synopsis and publication date to follow.
Thank you for your interest. I look forward to staying in touch.
