My Debut Novel, TURN OF THE SENTRY (published by Wild Wolf Publishing, UK in 2009)has been re-written and re-released by The WOlf Pirate Project as part one of a trilogy!
It is a contemporary science fiction/ thriller with a bit of horror thrown in for good measure. The boundaries which separate the unseen worlds that comprise our realm--the quantum planes of
existence--have been breached. All that we see will become illusion while all fear that we will become real. One man knows the truth of the danger that lurks among us, but he must first face the
demons within himself before he can tackle the ones that have invaded our world. Available now on my website or through the Wolf Pirate Project. Soon to be available through Amazon and Barnes &
Noble Online. To order now, or for more information, visit http://www.amboyleauthor.com or http://wolf-pirate.com
It definitely is a mixed blessing. I think writing is "lonely" not just because you do it alone but also because very few other people understand its importance in your life. They think it's a fun hobby, or else that you're doing it in hopes of becoming rich and famous. That's why I belong to several other writer's organizations--and even then, I find only a few of the members really have the fever. Like you, I tried to quit a little over 10 years ago, after many rejections. Couldn't do it. Interestingly, right after I decided that I would continue to write my novels even if I never got them published, I received my first acceptance! I probably never will become rich or famous, but I will continue to write. Very simply, it's the way I respond to life.

Ann, LOVE this. Live your own dream - indeed. Its a struggle to not want to follow what others are doing, thinking THEY have obtained the American Dream and why can't you? Once I fully grasped the fact that my road is different from everyone elses and that's ok - I started living my own dream. American Dream? No. DIY Dream, yes!
