This Writer’s Life: Very exciting to receive The Sunday Story Club audiobook CD in the post. To hear the fabulous actresses read the stories is both joyful and heart-wrenching. Here is a short sample.
I also recorded a chapter. But why do we find our own voices so strange? My voice always sounds different from what I imagine.
Reading is essential for a writer.
Who wouldn’t want to write like Dickens or Hemingway or Tolstoy?
Yet from this desire, we create our own chains. Build our own prison.
A writer must kill their literary icons to free their own voice.

When I first announced that I wanted to write 30+ years ago my friends laughed. ‘You can’t even spell’ said one. In these small ways, we are pressured to limit ourselves. Don’t listen. After 20 books I can say that I now misspell a much higher class of word.
I’ve been a professional writer for 30+ years. I have 2 books coming out soon. A satirical novel on American Gun Culture, TARGET 91, to be published 2018. And a non-fiction with Doris Brett next year by a local mainstream publisher. Just some thoughts for younger writers apart from KEEP WRITING!
