Katherine D. Jones Glorious

One of the first authors I befriended after I became a reviewer for Romance in Color was Katherine D. Jones. We hit it off so well that she would send me early rough drafts of her novels while it was in its editing stage. She candidly told me her frustrations and joys about the writing process. I learned a lot about the industry from her.

So with deep regret I am very sad to say that yesterday she was called to Glory. Now I know that is a good thing, but she was so excited about her writing career. She has some novels coming out this year, one she was completing for a 2008 release, and was excited about a new romance series for Kensington. Everytime I received one of her books in the mail I became excited, because she truly was passionate about her work.

If you are like me and you are playing around about getting your stories out there, don't be like me. Be like Katherine. Write. Publish. And write some more.

Katherine, I love you girl. I am going to pick up your torch.
