When did you start writing?
Back in 1979 I had a long commute from my house in far west Houston to my job in central southwest Houston. The trek down Highway 6 to I-10 was long, crossing over Addicks dam which was treed on both sides. A beautiful, serene drive on that part of my commute.
I didn’t know I was about to become a writer. On that long ride, a minimum of 45-minutes one way, depending on traffic, and god forbid, rainy weather, I daydreamed.
There was never a moment that my mind was quiet. I always had little dramas and things flinging around in my head. But one day I started fantasizing about a specific thing, and picked up on the same situation the next day, then the next. At that point, I carried a yellow lined tablet and a pen on the passenger seat and would furiously write at every stop in traffic.
I’m guilty of using work-time to type and print out these episodes. Before I knew it, a full-blown story emerged. I didn’t have a clue about how to write a novel. At that time, I didn’t even have grammar skills. Spelling never was a problem—I aced that all throughout school. Memorizing word lists came easy. But that grammar – I shuddered thinking about it.
Back then, the story was called Second Chance. My characters, Darleen and Trakon were 28 and 32 years old. I finished the first draft in 1984. Many years later, the story evolved into Prophecy of Thol with teenagers (D’laine and Trakon) as my main characters. The series contains four novels. The fifth will be out in 2021.
The Puppy Baby Book was the first book I published under my company logo of Artistic Origins. By 2000 I had written four novels and several screenplays, but I was trying to go the traditional route with getting a literary agent and/or a traditional publisher. I ditched that idea and have sense published my own books—all 18 of them (fiction and nonfiction).
