Haha, I thought: what an attention-grabbing thing for the heroine to say...then I just needed to build plot around that! Before I was a writer, I worked in the clinical field (I have a master's degree in Marriage, Family, Child Counseling, or MFCC). But since I was married to a military man, and we moved a lot, my career had to become something more along the lines of "have computer, will travel." The clinical degree wasn't lost, however. It helps me understand human nature and write better three-dimensional characters.I wrote for many years, raising two kids along the way, before I published. Thanks for asking!Tracy Tappanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01201242341036936597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414275122692230397.post-8720295324802937282015-11-07T15:29:53.672-05:002015-11-07T15:29:53.672-05:00How did you start writing novels?

We DID have some great adventures, but there was also a lot to worry about, especially when my husband flew at night, and during deployments when I knew he'd be going into "hot zones." We have a close friend who lived through a helicopter crash, and he was nice enough to share his experiences with me for the second full-length novel in the Wings of Gold series, ALLIED OPERATIONS. Pretty emotional stuff.
