Requirements: ePUB Reader | 1.90 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Life begins at 40—or so they say. Such was the case for the literary life of Lawana Blackwell. Writing had been a dream, simmering like a big pot of stew on the back burner of her existence for years. As she faced the milestone of her 40th birthday, she began asking herself when "one day” would finally arrive. Suddenly it became clear to her that she had been procrastinating all that time out of fear of failure. A subsequent writing course at Louisiana State University turned up the heat, and the dream went from a simmer to a rolling boil. Her instructor at LSU was supremely encouraging, even to the point of recommending an editor with a New York publisher. It certainly seemed as if her wish to be published was about to come true. But Lawana hesitated, feeling that God was leading her specifically toward Christian fiction. She just didn’t know how to get started in that specialized market.Lawana Blackwell is a full-time writer with 10 published novels, including the bestselling Gresham Chronicles series. She and her husband have three grown sons and live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
