Guest Author Monday

I’d like to welcome our guest author — Marie Higgins

“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I love this quote!  It’s so easy to become discouraged in our everyday life, and we are tempted to give up. We don’t even try. This quote tells me that if we can’t believe in ourselves, we are nothing. The Magic comes when we believe!

I’ve been writing for about 20 years now, and I have had plenty of ups and downs—mostly downs. At the time I was trying to develop my writing talent (yeah, mine didn’t come naturally like some authors I know), I was also working a full time job and raising a family. That’s very hard. I could have given up many times. But I didn’t. I knew what I wanted out of life, and what I really enjoyed doing. I had so many stories in my head (and I still have them), that I knew there was a reason I heard voices and had romantic dreams at night. Mainly, they were my hero and heroine…and occasionally a villain who talked to me. I love writing romances—and falling in love over and over again.

Now those voices in my head are part of me. They can be silly or serious. They can want a normal life, or one that conflicts come at them in all directions. Sometimes they like a little mystery and suspense. They also like to surprise people…which means that there will always be some kind of twist at the end of the story.

I’m very happy of all that I’ve accomplished so far in my life. And I have NOT given up! I love entertaining people…and if truth be told, I entertain myself, too.  heeheee

What do I think makes a successful writer? Determination! A writer must be determined to keep at it and continue to learn. If they aren’t, they are just another fish in the sea with a bunch of other fishes who like to write. But it’s those writers who are determined to write their hearts out and keep learning that make the best and most successful writers.

My latest release is a Regency romance with a little humor. It’s a short story, which is why it’s only 99 cents.

Becoming A Lady
Dorothy Paxton is not pleased when a handsome Englishman walks into her inn and announces he’s taking her to England to reunite her with the grandfather who turned his back on her years ago. Her escort, Calvin Seton, bribes her by paying her brother’s doctor’s bills, and soon she’s on the ship sailing for London. Little by little, Calvin’s charm softens her heart. While her lady’s companion teaches her to become a lady, Dorothy is secretly wondering if the price of love is worth it. Especially when she knows Calvin will walk out of her life as soon as they reach England.

Can she afford the cost of love?
