Well I started writing after I was nudged in the right direction and I took off from there. It was an outlet at first and then when I actually held my very own book in my hands I just couldn't stop. It was amazing. I began to jot here and there about life experiences, raising chihuahuas, even about my grandfather who has since passed on. I highly recommending you doing the same! I started out with Karma is a bitch. It was born out of strife and greif. It has done wonders for me. I am also a farmer and an ethical breeder of chihuahuas so my books naturally branched out from there. I run dual pen names Melissa Bunker & Jaina Proudmoore for my more esoteric books.
