What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
To the aspiring writers, I would suggest keeping all the notes and scenes you write over the years! You never know when one of them will call for your attention again, and when inspiration might hit you. I would also suggest reading! Reading other people’s work and finding what you like about different books will also help inspire you.
Author Bio:
Erica Kiefer was born on Christmas Eve in Southern California to an American father whose ancestors arrived from Europe during colonial times and a Thai mother who moved to the US during high school. Adding to her rich and varied heritage, Erica grew up living abroad in Asia, including Taiwan, Fiji, Thailand and Indonesia. She gained a great respect for the beautiful mosaic of cultures found in various parts of the world. After graduating from International School Bangkok, she attended Brigham Young University in Utah, where she earned a degree in Recreation Therapy. Her career as a Recreation Therapist has allowed her to work with at-risk youth since 2007.
Erica made the best decision of her life by marrying her husband in 2005 and is currently a mother of three, one of whom awaits her in heaven. Erica also loves singing, reading, writing, and satisfying her sweet-tooth with chocolate-chip cookies. Playing collegiate rugby was one of the most memorable experiences of her life, thus far.
Erica’s first book, Lingering Echoes, was signed by Clean Teen Publishing and released November, 2013.
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?In fall of 2008, I lost my job during the recession. While job-hunting, I had more time on my hands to read and was loving it! I also felt the desire to be a part of creating an enticing story like the books I was reading. With my down time, I picked up a short scene I had started writing a couple years prior and ran with it. My sisters kept reading every chapter and demanded I finish it! So I did.
