Lets start. For this post I asked Ms.Mary two questions, and she did her best in answering them.
Don't forget to click on read more to see my fan made covers for the books and A GIVEAWAY!
How do you conceive your plot ideas? With Crossroads it was easy because I started from my dreams I had in high school. Then for the rest of the book, Claudia's experiences were based on things I did…first job, first car, first time camping…too bad there was no Michael..lol! For Between, I wrote from chapter to chapter. I had a general idea of what I wanted to get across, but there were times when I had to take a week brake to think things through.
How long did it take you to publish your first book, after you started trying?
It took me couple of years to write Crossroads because I didn’t know if it was good enough to be published. Being new to this publishing industry, I had no clue what I was doing. I decided to self-publish first because again, I wrote Crossroads to help me heal the loss of my grandmother. It was just for fun. About 4 months later, I had a contract with World Castle. For Between, I wanted this to be bigger and better. I was writing for my fans. It took me about 6 months to finish my first draft. Along this journey, I’ve learned so much and I’ve meet so many people around the world. It’s been a blessing!
