For the month of November, All the Blog’s a Page (AtBaP) is talking about INSPIRATION! We want to know what inspires writers to put pen to paper or fingers to keys and spin the stories they tell. “…thrilling, eye-opening…,” “dazzling,” “great read,” “provides edgy scenes throughout this compelling mystery” – just a few of the glowing comments made of the writing of our next author, the talented L. J. Sellers!

When asked What inspires you to write, Sellers began by stating, “Even as a young student, I was one of those nerds who liked to write reports. Pouring through encyclopedias and library books was a pleasure. Then pulling the information together in my own words was an enjoyable task. So it made sense when I started college to enroll in the journalism school. Why not get paid to do something I enjoyed? I loved reading fiction even more than encyclopedias. The occasional short story assignment in high school and college was fun too, but it was harder for me than nonfiction. I struggled to come up with short creative narratives. I never thought I could write a novel until I was almost thirty. One day I was reading a book that was so bad, I threw it down in disgust and thought, I could write a better story than that. Then I decided to see if I really could craft a whole novel. I’d certainly read my share and thought I understood story structure well enough to give it a try.”
