I have been a member of the Cape Cod Writers Center for three years now and have witnessed many “rites of passage” for writers. I, myself, have gone from writing nothing to writing this daily blog and four picture books. This year I served on the board of this wonderful organization. Over the past three years I have seen friends of mine get their books published one by one. I read, enjoyed and reviewed each one.
Our president, Kevin Symmons, has been a great friend and role model for me both as a new board member and a fledgling writer trying to find her small place in a big world. Sometimes the job of getting a contract seems like the highest mountain there is – and at times, really feels unattainable. Kevin has worked long and hard as a writer for many years. Finally, this year, all his hard work and dedication paid off. His paranormal romance, Rite of Passage, has been published by Wild Rose Press. The e-version just came out on August 26th.
As soon as it hit my kindle, I was totally engrossed in his heroine’s “Rite of Passage”. Symmons writes a fast moving page turner that you cannot put down until Courtney’s fate is sealed. Set in 1947, filled with witchcraft, fine estates, and chivalry that is not dead, Kevin Symmons made my holiday weekend on the beach exciting.
“Rite of Passage”, now available on most e-readers, is a great read. Give it a try!
And so, as another day goes by, thanks to mentors like Kevin and my Cape Cod Children’s Writers group, today I wrote my first query letter – time to get one of my books out there, and…I have written.
