Today I published my 52nd book. I’ve written 50 books in 5 years…but I wasn’t always ‘prolific’. I wanted 2 things in life: to be a mother and to be an author. Neither came easily, and yet, interestingly both those struggles/desires intersected. I wasn’t always prolific. I started writing when my son was born & I learned he had Down syndrome. I was lost & scared & couldn’t return to my job teaching b/c my son’s needs were too extensive. So I wrote.
