First giving honor to God, who is the Head of my life. Family and loved ones, there is a thing called motivation. There is a thing called dedication. There is a thing called perseverance. There is a thing called discipline. There is a thing known as wanting to throw in the towel. I won't complain, but I will say my whole right hand is hurting. I didn't think I was going to finish my book today, but by the grace of God I did.

All five of my books are free today only. Click on the link in my bio and enjoy. #Litsy #Writingcommunity

Matthew and Tilly by Rebecca C. Jones has always been one of my favorite children's story. As an author, who loves to write about diversity, I believe in the power of diversity in relationships and friendships. Children need to feel represented. Children need to know there are characters that look like them. I pray God allows me to pass this story on to my children and grandchildren. #childrenlit

Bear, Otter, and the Kid by TJ Klune was the second LGBT novel I read and fell in love with. During my senior year, I felt this book gave me hope to fix my friendship with an ex, whom I had been in love with for ten years. Of course, the ex was a guy, but reading this novel still gave me hope. Not only am I a reader of LGBT fiction, but I also happen to write it as well. I can't wait to share.

It has been one heck of a literary journey. I am now the author of five books and still currently working on many more. Writing is not just a gift or artwork. Writing is also therapeutic. Author Amelia Rucker
