Well, I did it! I self published book one in my historical fiction series.
It is titled: Rule Number One: Know Thy Enemy
It can be found Here
This was in the works a long, long time. It started as something I'd mull around/daydream about driving to and from work at a bookstore in Aptos, CA. I had about a 15 minute commute each way, and it helped me pass the time.
I took a different job, with a longer commute, and when I wasn't singing to my Joni Mitchell tape (yep, I said it, tape) I'd ponder what mischief Genevieve was getting into or out of.
I got married, had kids, and the story didn't go very far. Then, one day as I I stood in the middle of my living room practicing how Genevieve would challenge one of her detractors I stopped. If I'm acting out an imaginary world...in my 40s...isn't that a little crazy?
Then I had a 'Eureka!' moment. It wasn't crazy if I was doing it towork through the characters in a book. I needed to become a writer!
I bought my self a notebook and began writing. That was ten years ago. Egad! Well, to be honest, I didn't yet consider myself a writer. I mean, people like Stephan King, Emily Bronte, and JRR Tolkein were writers, I was just Geri. It took me eight of those years to allow myself to 'come out' as a writer.
So, here I am, with a book--an actually book--in my hands with my name on the cover and my words inbetween.
I hope some peopel buy it, and more importantly, enjoy reading it.
