Hello everyone!
Well, it is finally here. The culmination of years of wanting this to happen.
I have wanted to be a writer since I was a kid. It is the one thing that I can remember with certainty.
In high school I was on the journalism team and I had my own column for about 3 years.
After high school I was published in various forms until my first marriage at 25 years old.
Then about 5 years ago I stated writing again when the delicious Pixie, who I was corresponding with at the time, asked me "what is your dream job?"
I started writing the next day. "M/s for the rest of Us" is my second written book, but my first published one. My first written book is called "Through the Bad Patch" . I am putting that piece on the back burner, it is a lesbian fiction book that deals with domestic violence.
I am doing that because I am currently writing my third book on nurse to nurse violence, and I want that one out before "Bad Patch".
So how did this happen? Well...... The four of us were out to lunch in January. We were talking about Spring Pan, vending, and what each of us were going to do for the table. Everyone had a thing except me so I decided that I was going to be the barker. The loud obnoxious one that brought people over to the table- it wasn't a stretch for me!
I was more then happy to be a barker! I even had my tag line ready I was going to say "DO YOU Want to get laid? If so come to our table! "
Well that want good enough for my family, they pushed me and asked, "No really, Keli, what do you DO?" I said quietly "I write."
And they took it from there. they asked about my book writing and what was ready, I explained that the books are written , I just needed an editor and a publisher.
They had both, at their fingertips and I was out of excuses and fast. I got so nauseous that I couldn't even finish lunch.
My editor Lisa Powell challenged me and pushed me. She asked my to write better and more chapters, to cover content that I had missed. She would not let it go until she felt that I was at my best. She shouldered so much of my anxiety and pushed through and got the work done.
So many times I was able to say "I don't care" when it came to formatting and the foot work. I had something that I was adamant about, but for the most part I was impartial.
And after months of her hard work and my atrociously spelled and grammar-less re writes, here it is:
