Hi, I’m Christie and I’m so excited you decided to join me on the Game of Books journey. Cathi, from South Dakota, and I met at Sleuthfest, a mystery writer conference in south Florida, the place I call home. I’m used to flip flops and she’s used to snow boots, but we immediately bonded over our parallel lives as newbie writers. During chatter about all the workshops, authors, and our families, Cathi let it slip that she had always wanted to do a blog. Her enthusiasm was contagious and when we went back to our perspective lives, we kept in touch and … Game of Books was born!
I love the idea that we are setting out to conquer different Lands in the World of Publishing. The challenges are real but hopefully not as deadly as Game of Thrones. And it seemed so fitting since in grade school my daughter listed my jobs as 1) cooking 2) cleaning 3) running a monarchy (guess my chemistry and biology degrees were lost on her). Regardless, I was clearly Queen of my Domain and now I plan to be Queen of my Writing Career with the support of my son and daughter (my former subjects). And hopefully, at some point I will be able to hire a cleaning service for number 2 on the list. Along the way, Cathi and I will share our experiences, many of which have us laughing till we cry (which is healthier than crying till we laugh). We hope our personal voyage imparts the wisdom we learn along the way but also shows other writers that they are not alone.
Watch out World of Publishing, here we come!
