Sunday Reflections on the Journey

As I work my way toward releasing my first two books on Amazon and various other venues, I am reminded of the times, several years back, when the world of Heaven's Wait was first blossoming in my mind and starting to show its face on the page. Today, much of my time involves fine tuning the manuscript, working with an illustrator, and plotting out my marketing strategy. Back then, I spent my time discovering what my mind could create, wondering if I knew enough to try my hand at writing (which I didn't), and digging for the confidence to let my ideas go where they wanted to go. Once I got into it, I was surprised by what occurred.

RJ'S STORY: A Fond Memory

When I started writing about Heaven's Wait, I built the character of RJ based on my dad. Here, he speaks of his "Ma", my grandmother. I wish I had known her. I was only 1 when she passed on.
