I have been carrying a notebook with me everywhere I go for two years. When I think of topics to write about, I jot them down. When I first started writing it was all fiction. I have several unfinished pieces that will be re-visited at a later date. But as I was writing fiction I felt like the story of Annie Lynn needed to come out. At times it was difficult to write, as it may be difficult to read as well. But, I kept pushing through. When it first started it was more like a journal and publishing wasn’t on my radar. As I spent the last year writing I knew it should be published. It ended up being a very cathartic piece and I feel stronger and more empowered than I have in my entire life. It started as five pages, then ten and it kept growing until the book was finished. Please enjoy, and prepare yourself for my next novel.
