Carol Marinelli recently filled in a form asking for her job title.
Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put writer. Then it
asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truth –
writing. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not
wanting to look obsessed she crossed the fingers on her hand and
answered swimming but, given that the chlorine in the pool does
terrible things to her highlights – I’m sure you can guess the real
answer.
When Canadian Dani Collins found romance novels in high school she
wondered how one trained for such an awesome job. She wrote for
over two decades without publishing, but remained inspired by the
romance message that if you hang in there you'll find a happy
ending. In May of 2012, Harlequin Presents bought her manuscript in
a two-book deal. She's since published more than forty books with
Harlequin and is definitely living happily ever after.
Cathy Williams is a great believer in the power of perseverance as
she had never written anything before her writing career, and from
the starting point of zero has now fulfilled her ambition to pursue
this most enjoyable of careers. She would encourage any would-be
writer to have faith and go for it! She derives inspiration from
the tropical island of Trinidad and from the peaceful countryside
of middle England. Cathy lives in Warwickshire her family.
