How i started to writing fiction

          I was very fortunate to be introduced to writing fiction via an unusual experience. My friend and award-winning author, Rosalie Turner, to a women’s Tuesday morning coffee group. A few years ago, she announced to the group that she had always wanted to write a mystery novel and she had this idea for all her coffee pals to contribute. Of course, she did all the writing and had the main plot in mind, but as a group we brainstormed characters, names, plots, and sub plots. What fun it was! We were together in the summer months and the rest of the year we communicated with email. We went through the process with her and together we published two books. Each book took a year to write and publish. The following summers we would have book signings. The first book was The Winding Road. The second one was Murder on the Mountain. That experience gave all of women ideas about becoming a writer. Some said “Oh, I could never do that.” For me, it made thoughts of writing a novel resurface.  I had thought of it for years, but I did not know where to start. I had many stories on my mind and I needed to tell them somehow.
