I was trying to remember when the desire to write books began, and was struck by the memory of trying to make my writing small enough to fit into the one inch high books I made for my dolls. My handwriting was illegible, even to me, and the need for short words because I couldn’t spell probably brought on long term writer’s block.
Getting back to writing took a long time. A move from Kenya, where I was born, to the cooler climes of Somerset UK, marriage, children, house renovation and building up a bed and breakfast business took up most of my energy. But eventually the need to put words on paper crept back.
The busy life made sure that I never had long enough to really settle to the task, but I kept on steadily working at it, learning all the time, about writing, writing more, even getting hooked on the www.NaNoWriMo.org experience (writing 60,000 words in the month of November). The family no longer expect meals on time and decided that fending for themselves in November is a sensible option.
Now, having written so many words, I have taken the next step and published my first book on Kindle. This is an action packed adventure, with a romantic twist, set in Kenya.
