I loved books and was a voracious reader from the age of 5. I asked my mother where books came from and she told me that people wrote them. I thought that was so amazing and exciting! I asked my mother what a lady who wrote books was called and she said "An authoress". And from that point on whenever people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I said "An authoress". Even later when reality kicked in and I discovered how tough it was to get published or to make any money I still hung onto it as something I was going to do, even if I also had to have a day job. And now I am an authoress by night and a charity administrator by day.Anna Buttimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559142770865747131noreply@blogger.com
