The Curse / Words Matter Publishing (ePub)

As a child, I wanted to be a teacher. I realized around the beginning of my teenage years I didn't have the temperament to be a teacher. It wouldn't have ended well for me if I'd followed that past. I had to figure out a new path. My aunt had given me book certificates every year for my birthday and Christmas. Books were my jam! I loved YA, mostly Christopher Pike and R. L. Stine, but the occasional teen romance. I mean I was a teen, so YA was a natural fit. I found a Harlequin Romance by Carole Mortimer when I was thirteen. I wasn't allowed to read it until my mom gave it a read to make sure it was age appropriate. Thankfully, it was. Engaged to Jarrod Stone was the book that made me say 'I can write this!' My first attempt was a short story about my besties and I with our favorite celebrity crush staying overnight in a haunted mansion. It was five pages. What can I say it was a rough go! The next story was about my friends and I on a deserted island with another celebrity crush. Hey, I was a teenager, that was our thing! Over time the stories changed. I moved from my friends and celebrity crushes to slightly longer stories. I gave myself goals to increase my word count. My first vampire book was Forever and the Night by Linda Lael Miller. I loved it! Over time I read every vampire book I could. A few years back a dear friend recommended Twilight. Just because I'm older doesn't mean I can't dive into a YA novel ever now and then. I'd seen the movie but didn't know it was based on a book. The thrift store I worked at got in one of the mass market copies of Twilight with the movie cover. I took it as a sign. I read it and was hooked. Thankfully, it was after all the books had been released. Patience isn't one of my virtues. I loved them! That was the only copy of that particular edition of Twilight to be donated during the time I was at that job. Witches have always appealed to me. I can't say what it is about them, the powers, or the spells; maybe it's the flying.
