Publisher's Synopsis
We haven't met yet, but because you're here, I already know one important thing about you: you love to read. Many readers dream of becoming writers. I know I did. Where to start? Write for your school newspaper. Take photographs for it. Illustrate pictures for it. Become the editor. Write stories, take photos, create illustrations and publish them in journals that accept young people's work. Keep a journal. I've kept journals off and on my entire life. The best ones are the diaries I wrote while in elementary school. This is really how I got my start, how I learned to love to write. I went on in my writing life to interviewing people from all walks of life and publishing articles about them for newspapers and magazines. Finally, I realized my greatest dream of all: I learned how to write fiction, published several short stories, and now have written my first book: Secret in the Stars: An Abi Wunder Mystery. I speak from experience: you hold your dreams in the palms of your hands. Only you can make your dreams come true. Please visit www.lindawilsonauthor.com so we can get to know each other.
A story is born: Deep in the rolling hills and lush valleys of northern Virginia horse country, an eerie presence overwhelmed my body and soul. The story of Abi Wunder sprang to life, and how she acquired the ability to communicate with ghosts. It's really very simple: Abi has empathy. What is empathy? Sensitivity to others. To think about how others are feeling. To appreciate experiences others have had, even those of the departed. In a nutshell, Abi pays attention to others instead of being focused only on herself. How does Abi do it? She has a secret. To learn what it is, please visit www.lindawilsonauthor.com and click on Secrets of Success.
