From Linda Joy Singleton: When I was 9, I wrote a short story about a cat named Taben and stapled it into a "book" with pictures, too. A year later I rewrote the book, writing it neater, adding chapter titles, and putting games in the back. I didn't know it then but I was "revising" my work, an early step to learning how to become a writer. When I was 14, I challenged myself to type a chapter a day over my 2 week Christmas vacation, and I finished a book (200 pages) in two weeks. This was an important achievement to me because I proved to myself that I could finish a book. Up until then I had many starts but only one "finish." So you'd think I was poised to become a young published author? Maybe...but life jumped ahead of my dreams. I started working at age 17 plus had a short marriage. I didn't dust off my writing dreams until I was 27 and a mother of toddlers. I started off small, writing in the evening when my husband was home to help with the kids. By the time they were in school, I had a schedule of writing in the mornings. I sold my first book when I was 30, a chapter book called ALMOST TWINS. Someday (when I'm quite famous) this will be my most rare book since only a few thousand were ever printed and it was only sold in school book fairs. My first book never made it to bookstores. Since then I’ve sold 7 series (including THE SEER & CURIOUS CAT SPY CLUB) and 5 picture books. In 2019 my first non-fiction picture book, CRANE AND CRANE, comes out. I have some fun kid activities for CURIOUS CAT SPY CLUB that I’m happy to email or mail for young fans: Spy Activity Packet and SAVE THE CATS board game. To request these, email me from the link on my website. I'm working on new books and other fun projects. Check Facebook, Twitter (lindajoysinglet) & instagram for the latest news. My writing career is a work in progress and I’m always learning and trying new things. Stay tuned for more dreams coming true! Read short stories and enter a contest here: www.LindaJoySingleton.com
