Today I welcome guest author Judy Baker as she shares about her sisterhood series and offers a chance to enter to win a very special giveaway.

Idea for a Book

As a writer, most ideas for a book just pop into my head and it grows from there. Not so for my June released Women’s Fiction novel. When I wrote YaYa House, I thought about my sister and the choices she had made in her life and how it led to becoming homeless. I read a plaque on a wall once that said, “Bad Choices make Good Stories.” It’s a sad saying, but true. Yet, at the same time, as a writer, we can turn the Bad Choices into Happy Endings. As I wrote Ya Ya House, I found it therapeutic to use words to write the poignant scenes and turn those words into positive words. Words are a powerful thing. Do you find yourself using real life tragedies in your writing, and was it therapeutic for you?

As Judy Baker, I love writing western novels, but when inspired by my grandmother, I started writing contemporary romantic suspense as Anna Sugg. My novels are filled with mystery, secrets, murder, love, and ghosts, and you will always find a dog character in my stories. By the way, my Christmas series will warm your heart. I’m a person who always have a half FULL glass. Are you? Or is it always half empty?

I can’t let a year go by without writing a sweet clean Christmas romance story. This week Christmas Without You was released on Amazon. Read a blurb for both books on my website or Amazon.

I want to shout out to all readers who write reviews. Readers help make a successful author by their reviews. Thank you.
