PROVIDENCE SERIES FAQ

What inspired you to start writing?

I have written since my birthday party in the third grade when Ryan Coffey gifted me my first diary. I wrote in every page, front and back, and once that was full, I asked my mom to purchase me a three-ring binder which I filled with loose leaf notebook paper. I used that as a journal and wrote almost every day. By the time I graduated high school, I had twenty-one journals, with the pages filled front and back. I also wrote small play-like stories, usually about my crushes–because let’s face it–the only way you’re going to kiss a boy when you’re gangly, red-headed and covered in freckles is to write about it.

Providence exists because my best friend, Beth, called me one January evening and a conversation about blogging turned into the famous question, “Why don’t you just write a book?” I answered, “Well, there is this story I’ve been chewing on for five years.” I told her the basics of my idea, and she said, after a dramatic pause, “I have goosebumps. Get off the phone, sit down at your computer right now and start writing!” So I did.
