Read MoreI Remember! My 9/11 Story
We will never forget! I can remember where I was when I saw the smoke from the towers. It was in the morning and I don’t remember why I turned on the television, but I saw the towers fall live on tv, even before the reporters knew what were happening. Coming from NY, I knew…
Read MoreNever Stop Learning
When people start talking about writing conferences, many authors get sweaty palms, second guess their sanity in signing up for agent/ editor appointments and imagine locking their hotel room doors and never coming out until it’s time to go home.

Read MoreMichelle Sutton On Publishing and Her First Release!
Like most new authors, I wrote my first book with enthusiasm, polished it, sent it out (to Steeple Hill) and got a rejection. I didn’t know why they didn’t want my fabulous book, of course they only take like 1% of the submissions they get. So I decided what I needed was an agent. I…
