Tayari's Blog: Guest Blogger: Jacqueline Jones LaMon

My friend, Jaci, called me on the phone about a month ago. "I'm in love," she sighed. I said, "Really?" and she said, "Yes, with my novel." I was thrilled for her. I knew she had a wonderful story idea cooking for some time, but hadn't quite made the connection. "Great," I said. "What happened? How'd you get back in the groove?" She started explaining and I asked her to write it up so that she could share her story with our blog community. It's a message I think we can all benefit from.

But before you read her story, let me share some of her credentials. Jacqueline Jones Lamon is the author of Gravity USA, a collection of poetry that won the the 2005 recipient of the Quercus Review Poetry Series Annual Book Award. She has also written a novel, In The Arms of One Who Loves Me, published by Random House. She currently teaches in the MFA program at Adelphi University.

Her post is here.
