How do you think were you able to overcome such a tumultuous childhood to become the successful writer you are today? Currently reading the The Pale-Faced Lie and thoroughly enjoying it! Thanks!

Jennifer, thank you for asking. First I had to unlearn many terrible habits my father drummed into me. For instance, revenge isn't justice. Sometimes, you need to walk away from a hot head, meaning you aren't one yourself. I also observed my angels listed in the book and found that every one of them possessed empathy, kindness, sympathy and interest in other people. Slowly I learned to emulate the people I admired, but it was a long, slow process fraught with many mistakes. Over time, I learned to treat people the way I wanted to be treated. And my Navajo friends were the best examples of people who would be justified carrying a big grudge, but they never did. Very powerful example.
May I ask a brief favor from you? Would you mind posting a brief review on Goodreads and Amazon please? Thank you. I really appreciate your question. As for writing well, read everything and have an incredible editor as I did with Sandra Jonas. Best to you.
