Fast forward.... I'm now looking at the road ahead, and in the fall (yes I know it's spring time, yes I know we just got out of a really weird winter.) I turn 64. But that's not what I want to talk about.
I got a box in the mail. In it were copies of several of my novels in hard print. I ordered them so I can send them to my mom. She wants autographed copies! She wants to show them off at the Senior's Center.
I will be signing them today and mailing them out to mama on Thursday.
But while I was putting my latest novel Forged Lives on the shelf behind my desk it hit me. I sat there, looking at four printed novels... all with my name on them... and I realized, it had happened. I am living the the dream! I did it, I wrote and published. I am living the dream.
