Lea Carter
author : Lea CarterI'm not much on talking about myself, but I suppose if you're here it's because you'd like to know more than you already do. Here goes...\nMost people mispronounce my first name because it's not the Biblical spelling. I thought I was immune to it after the first few rounds of substitute teachers. Then I got a job working on the phones. I get a chuckle almost everyday as I am called Leanne, Mia, Lydia, Olivia, etc., etc.\nI've been writing since I was nine years old, maybe younger but certainly by then. In the recesses of some bag or box back home, there's a painful attempt at writing a story about full-grown people. As a full-time schoolchild, I naturally wrote the date on it. I've no idea of what the story line was, but like most of my early efforts I never finished it.\nIn fact, except for a few short stories written for a college magazine competition (The Crowder Quill), I never finished anything until the fall of 2005. In three months I wrote the original draft of Silver Princess, which I called Silver Dreams. Then I promptly went on an eighteen-month mission for the LDS Church.\nWhen I got back, I fiddled with the story off and on for the next five years. Finally, with or without a few mistakes, I swallowed my fears, said a prayer, and signed an electronic contract with Amazon. Since then I’ve been bumbling about the internet, trying to sort through contradictory information, dozens of social websites, and so forth.\nYou can visit my website here https://leacarterwrites.wixsite.com/wholesomefantasy\nSign up for a newsletter from my friends and I @ https://www.subscribepage.com/indiewordsmiths
