My name is Nancy Hendrickson and I’ve written close to twenty non-fiction books. For some reason, the idea of writing a novel freaks me out so, of course, I felt the best way to write one was to get on Substack and be public and vulnerable. You’re invited to the show.
The star of the coming series is Holly Ginger, a bookstore tarot reader who lives in Little Creek, Arizona. My goal, here on Substack, is to chronicle the process of 1) morphing over to fiction; 2) inspiring you to start your own creative journey; and 3) to write the novel!
Are you in?
Sometimes it is interesting to write a novel embedded in history or mythology to bring the characters to life and add your own knowledge. You have chosen to write about something you know by choosing to make Holly a Tarot reader, which already creates mystery. I write because I love it, and have a stack of novels I have not even shown to anyone... yet. Each chapter is like a short story in itself, like stringing beads on a necklace. Have fun. ***
