Rosemary O.

I got serious about writing and publishing after finding a conference of like-minded authors in 2021. Quit my last job in 2022. I've been writing various things since 1996. 9 books published, 3 in production.

Update History

Had 30 minutes to revise book 2, so used the time. I'm finding little things to fix here and there while I can while my week goes unexpectedly sideways. I'll begin writing book three in a few weeks. Right now, I want to revise book 2 before the holiday and my vacation directly after. (No working on vacation is my rule!)
