Charles, thank you so much for that feedback. I’m grateful to Lillie for jumping in so quickly and letting you know how you can get hold of the book.

Charles, Joanna conducted the interview like a pro. I'm glad my words were encouraging. Perseverance is absolutely essential for writers. There's a saying that a published writer is an unpublished writer who didn't give up. You can get the book from my publisher GASLight Publishing or directly from me. Contact me on my Web site. We will have to find out what the postage is. The book is also available as an e-book so you don't have to pay any shipping. Lillie Ammanns last blog post..Memoir and Family History: Part 5—Writing

Hi Joanna,
Thanks for the excellent interview. It doesn’t sound like a first attempt to me. Great job!

Hi Lillie,
Thanks for your honest, encouraging and insight-filled responses. Whenever I read stories like yours, I get renewed energy to keep my ink wet and busy. Your story has the wind to keep me sailing despite obvious challenges. Perseverance is the word.

How can get your book? I’m from Nigeria and I understand Amazon doesn’t ship to Nigeria.

Jean, It's interesting to learn how much more difficult it was for you to sell fiction than nonfiction. I enjoyed your blog post on persistence. David, I'm glad my story was encouraging. Somtimes writers see someone being published and think it was easy for them. wilson, Thanks for your support! Lillie Ammanns last blog post..International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

Joanna, Thanks for this interview. As a writer, I'd always been aware that perseverence is an important personality trait. Hearing from a published writer exactly how much perserverence is needed is a great boost. David David Masterss last blog post..Puss Puss the Wondercat's Five Maxims for Playful Living

Jean, I’m so sorry your comment got caught in the Akismet link catcher – rescued now! That’s an interesting reflection on the different experience when you change genres and have to start anew. And patience is such a challenging virtue to practice isn’t it?

Thanks for stopping by

I couldn’t agree with you more, Lillie. I enjoyed the interview and know the pain of rejection. I was fortunate to have started my writing career as a news reporter, and sold all my nonficiton books first time out. When I began writing fiction, I felt as though I had started my career anew. Although I’ve sold all my novels, my impatience to sell has nearly driven me up the wall. Patience and persistence is the subject of one of my latest blog article at: http://advicefromeditors.blogspot.com/
