For today’s fact, I
started to peruse my notebook, which is almost full from what I’d jotted down
during the workshops. I had a hard time picking out just one piece of
information from so many that needed to be shared.

But then I remembered
the fun I had at the workshop called “Secrets of a Best Selling
Sisterhood” with Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Jane Ann Krentz, and I knew
that Susan had shared a very wise suggestion. One I’ve unknowingly followed
to my benefit.

Find your own
path!

This sounds so simple,
doesn’t it? I thought so until I spent time examining the words and her
explanation. Then they hit me. Simple genius!

The reason I am now an
Indie author is because traditional publishers weren’t interested in my angel
stories. Probably felt the paranormal market would fade and the books wouldn’t
be popular or sell.

They were wrong. Both
light-hearted stories, My Cheeky Angel and His Devious Angel,
have done very well on Amazon…(must be the angels drawing good vibes – (Uh huh
– yep – I know it!!)

So, I did go ahead and
follow my own path. And it led me to success. If I had given up on those books
and tried another genre, it would have taken months to finish writing something
suitable to submit, then months (if ever) to hear whether this time I’d hit the
right note, come up with the fresh new voice and wrote a story they would
accept.
