Create Your Badge.. I'd like to begin with some shameless self-promotion: www.jennygilliam.com www.jennygilliam.blogspot.com www.thewildrosepress.com I love stories involving the evolution of a man and a woman, the trials and obstacles they must overcome in order to achieve what I consider essential to any romance novel: the big 'ol HAP (Happily Ever After). That's right folks. I'm big on the HAPs. It's why I read and write romances. I always know they're going to end up together, no matter what. It doesn't always happen in real life, but my little fantasy world, love conquers all (and it should!) I started my writing career (such as it was) at ten, when I got a hold of my mom's mini-recorder and began spinning romantic tales into the microphone. Of course, they were a milder, more chaste version than my current owrk, but alas, a romance writer was born. I started my first story at twelve, based on real life events (the boy on whom I was crushing big time). In my story, however, I altered the events as I saw fit; he wanted me, not the older sister of my schoolmate. We got our first computer when I was thirteen, and I moved from pencil and paper to technology. Back in those days, it was Word Perfect, and what a perfect world it was. I stayed up all night writing, spinning a web of imaginary characters who met and fell in love. In high school, I joined the newspaper, eventually moving on to editor my senior year. I'd intended to follow in my father's footsteps; get a degree in journalism and become a reporter. But, for me, it wasn't enough. As those wily cops say, "Just the facts, ma'am." Well, the facts were too sctructured for my wandering brain and big heart. While I wrote continiously for years, I only finished one story. It wasn't until November 2006 that I completed my first novel. My second novel, The Wedding War, was, after several rejections, contracted by The Wild Rose Press in January 2008. It is looking at a Spring 2008 release date. As I reach my goals as an author, I look forward to my future. Remember: Sheer determination trumps wishes any day. Keep at it, believe in yourself and commit. Don't just follow your dreams, chase them with reckless abandon!
