I can sympathize with Alice's books changing genres despite the author. This happened to me once when Ace Books published my feminist novel as a romance. With a highly embarrassing erotic cover!

Anyway, I nearly missed your delightful interview.<br /><br />I was quite moved by your publication journey, and I'm impressed both by the quantity/quality of your output and by your perseverance. It's so easy to get discouraged in publishing when those doors shut.<br /><br />I think it's lovely that you are a weiner-dog magnet. (I would've said dachshund but I'm not sure of the spelling... wouldn't want to embarrass myself in front of an editor!).<br /><br />Anyway, well done, all the way around!Maggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-58815483588242548992014-03-22T08:41:39.613-04:002014-03-22T08:41:39.613-04:00Thanks, Sue!

Yes, Patricia (that's my first name, by the way, but by the time I got to kindergarten, everyone else had already claimed all the variations of Patricia, so they decided to call me Alice, which is my middle name. Probably ruined my life). Wait a minute. That's not what I started out to say. Oh, yeah, good for you for not giving up! I was at a point in my life in which I figured my dream was dead, but when my body began falling apart and could no longer dance, I started writing.

Like you, I've always wanted to be a writer and I always wrote but job, family and other obligations kept me from pursuing my dream of being published. When my full time position was eliminated a few years ago, I got down to the business of making my dream come true.
