Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter

In today’s episode, I talk about three different things. First, I tell you about July camp NaNoWriMo and give you my progress update. Second, I tell you about my proofreading and editing with the Chicago manual of style course and where I am in the process. And finally, I tell you about my plans to rebrand myself and build my business as a writer and editor. I also pray for those of us editors and writers out there building or rebuilding their brands.

https://www.youtube.com/user/annsmusic1 In today’s episode, I talk about my reflections on the writing warriors for Jesus youth summit and give you a couple of writing prompts for the week.

Paul Attaway was born and raised in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Paul and his wife, Lyn, met in college at Georgetown University and were married after Paul graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law. They moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1988 where Paul embarked on a short legal career before starting a thirty-year business career before retiring so he could write fiction. Paul and Lyn raised three children together in Phoenix and now split their time between Phoenix, Arizona, Charleston, South Carolina, and most recently, McCall, Idaho. Blood in the Low Country is Paul Attaway's debut novel. Writing this book, along with the move to Charleston, is a coming home of sorts, a return to the South. Paul is busy writing his second book, immersing himself in Charleston and defining what it means to be a writer.

In today’s episode, my special guest and I talk about her writing process and she shares the story behind her novel which takes place in San Quentin prison.

Katie Vorreiter makes her home in the diverse and beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. She works in high tech as a proofreader as well as a freelance fiction copy editor for a small press. While she admits to being a grammarian, she considers herself a fun one.

After studying and later interning in Madrid, Spain, Katie continues to use and improve her Spanish as much possible—especially when a travel opportunity arises. Aside from that, she DIYs at home with her husband in their almost empty nest, travels to Colorado where their two young-adult children study, and snuggles with her pup who promises not to grow up and go away to college.

Please check out Katie’s webpage at katievorreiter.com and sign up for her newsletter for giveaways, sneak peaks, and insider info. Check out her debut novel, No Turning Back, “a propulsive action tale.”

Rachael Clarke is a former police officer turned stay-at-home mom living in Portage la Prairie, MB, with her sport-aholic husband, two adorably mischievous children, and dog.

Rachael’s children’s chapter book The Big Ol’ Bike, is available wherever books are sold. Follow her writing adventures at: www.rachaelclarkewrites.com.

Details for The Big Ole Bike are as follows:

Description: Big things are happening in Little Springs…

Everything about Oliver is small, from his footprint to his glasses—and a trio of bullies never let him forget it. When Oliver receives his grandfather’s old bike for his birthday, he rides tall for the first time. But the meanest bully in school doesn’t like that at all. Oliver quickly finds himself challenged to a race. Now, he’ll have to be bigger than he ever imagined in order to prove heroes come in small packages too.

The Big Ol' Bike is a contemporary slice of life for ages 7-10. Come hang out with Oliver, Austin, and Sue, as they experience excitement, setbacks, and adventure together. Themes of bullying, family, friendship, confidence, and community are all explored.
