It’s time for the nerve-racking book review inquiries. Yes, my beta readers are kind enough to post their reviews after reading the published copy, but I must also seek the critiques of book bloggers too. So again, I have to put myself out there to take the criticism because not all the reviews will be kind. Of course, it’s a learning experience and this will help me become a better writer. Hopefully, I will be strong enough to accept the negatives and be humble enough to rejoice in the positives. Until then, I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
“Always do what you are afraid to do.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
I’m a proud graduate of Rutgers University School of Nursing and a Professional Registered Nurse specializing in Perinatology. When I’m not immersed in the joy of caring for growing families, including my own, you’ll find me reconnecting with the things that ground me — music, reading, and now, writing.
Reading offers me a momentary escape from the demands of my profession, but writing takes me somewhere deeper. It feels like navigating the New York City subway: characters and ideas rush in and out like passengers, some staying only for a moment, others riding with me for miles. There are delays, detours, and unexpected stops, but the journey always leads me closer to the stories I’m meant to tell.
Join me on this literary ride, where words become tracks and characters travel toward moments of challenge, transformation, and unforgettable destinations.
