I also believe in law of attraction and know that everything that comes to me is a result of the work and energy I’ve already put out there. I believe things work out the way they’re supposed to. Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business? I love the characters, intensity of first love and the reality of a teen’s subtle but dangerous struggle with mental health. My favorite novel I’ve ever written might be All of the Rogers.

Things You Can’t Take was a personal challenge writing about friendship and sexual assault but such a powerful story to tell. I’ve written a few women’s fiction novels. I’ve written a phycological fiction book, Planning Penelope, about a man who stalks a young woman through a college campus. Many of my novels are chick-lit, romance, but I love to dabble in other genres and push boundaries. Just having the opportunity to write and put it out there in the world is reward enough. But even if I didn’t sell one book, it would all be worth it. And once they know your books exist, you have to convince them they’re worth reading. I’d say the greatest struggle as a writer is getting people to know your stories are out there to be read. Everyone who puts a lot of work into something has grand dreams of the world standing behind them and cheering them on the whole way. I’d say the road has been a challenging gift. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you? We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. I feel grateful I’m able to share them with the world. I love every one of my stories as if they were living, breathing beings. I wrote and published six novels in three years. And I might have gotten carried away with it. Just having him in my life and feeling so fulfilled, I needed an outlet to pour out so many strong emotions. My husband was my real inspiration to write. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far. Today we’d like to introduce you to Erin Lockwood.Įrin, let’s start with your story.
