No story seemed worth telling and I embarked on a teaching career, leaving my dreams of becoming an author on the back burner. ‘If I couldn’t do it myself,’ I thought, ‘at least I can teach others and inspire a passion for literature and the English language in them.’Typically, it was in the midst of my teaching career when I had no time for anything that the idea for Carmela came in to fruition. I wrote small sections in snatched moments and the characters did begin to develop but when I left teaching, they really took flight and the story unraveled around them.The process of writing Carmela really has been an adventure and it has inspired other ideas that I am currently researching and developing.view less
