Creative flow has blessed me with thirty-nine novels that have collectively sold over 5 million copies, in sixteen languages, in under eight years, earning me over $10 million and over fifty spots on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and foreign bestselling lists.

All of my dreams came true because I learned to write amazing fiction.

I wrote this book for the old me—the girl who had big dreams, but no real idea how to write the books she’d need to make those big dreams come true. I wanted to make it easier for her to get to where I am now by sharing what I learned along the way. I wanted her to be able to leap over the pitfalls where I stumbled, avoid the challenges that held me back, and glide past the emotional despair, mental anguish, and burnout I faced.

I wrote this book because my readers said that no one else writes books like me, and I thought … I bet I can teach some people how and humanity could benefit from better books being written.

Ultimately, I wrote this book because it was fun, and I enjoyed writing it immensely.

I hope you love it and that it helps you on your creative journey. I hope all of your dreams come true because you learn to write amazing fiction. Don’t ever underestimate where it can take you.
