Books on the Craft of Writing

Earlier today, I enjoyed being interviewed on Facebook for the national reading group Mocha Girls Read. In the video, I discuss my publishing journey, lessons I've learned, and mistakes I've made along the path to writing my debut novel, Orange Blossoms-Love Blooms. To view the video, click on the link below. Another writer wanted to know if there were any books I could recommend. I love reading, writing, and talking about the craft of novel writing. I have plenty of books in my personal library on fiction. Below are some of the books that have helped me understand the important elements of writing a compelling novel. Email me if you are interested in more writing-related blogs/newsletters in the future. Happy Reading!
