LINDA BOLTON - GUEST BLOG POST
Meet
Linda, a contemporary romance writer. She's joining Joey today to talk
about her writing journey. Read ahead to see what she has to say!
Joey, Thank you so much for having me on your
blog.
So, you wanted to know how I got started
writing. I’m sure I’m about like everyone else - I have been writing in some way
for as far back as I can remember. In high school I was on the school literary
magazine and wrote poetry with teen angst - typical high schooler. In college,
I wrote research papers which caused me to swear off writing until I was in my
thirties. Nothing could dissuade a person more from writing than having to
write about topics that are dull.
In my mid-thirties, I adopted an eleven year old
girl from CPS when I lived in Georgia. I
started journalling my experiences with her and decided to write a book on
adopting older children. There are so many children here in the US that end up
aging-out of the system because families are afraid to adopt older kids.
Life
got me side-tracked and the book was put on hold. Twelve years ticked
by and one evening I started writing Take 2, my first contemporary
romance. I truly enjoyed writing. I suddenly noticed that everything
around me gave me ideas for books - my friends, my day job, celebrities.
The ideas are never-ending. I’ll eventually finish the adoption
story, it is a priority, but until then... Incantation, my second
novel,will be
out in the late spring and Take 2 is available in ebook and paperback.
