Eileen Sanchez asked Beverly Scott:

Bev, Sarah's Secret sounds like the process I just took writing my debut novel. It started as memoir but I felt it needed to be told as fiction "using the known facts as my framework" (borrowing on your description!). My novel will be published in fall 2019. Over the next year I'll be working with my publisher and editor for a journey I never planned on. Can you tell me about your program "The 3rd Act"?

Beverly Scott Eileen, How nice to get your message. I think using the known facts as the framework is a good way to turn a good story that you don't have all the needed factual information into a novel. And I really enjoyed the creative part of the process. Congratulations!
The 3rd Act is a program I created with a few colleagues to support mid-life women and men who wanted to change or slow down their current career or life focus and create a new direction for themselves. For some that is retirement, for others it is changing careers, and for others it is initiating a new skill, interest, direction. I had a great time with it. But I needed time to write my book so I turned it over to my business partner. Thank you for asking.
