It’s been a few years, so I’m a little fuzzy on the details, but I believe I called it Go, Big Mama ! I sat down at the typewriter in the office and pecked out a short, funny anecdote. The possibility of rejection never even entered my head. I was so new to the writing world that I had no idea that selling an anecdote was actually difficult. At the time, my thinking ran along the lines of, is this fate, or what? One day, as I was working my part-time job in an orthodontist’s office, I picked up a copy of Reader’s Digest and, thumbing through it, saw that they wanted to buy what they called humorous anecdotes. Back then, that was quite a sum to come up with. When I was an eighteen-year-old freshman in college, my rent was one hundred dollars per month. What was your first experience with being published? How did that experience influence your future writing? “It’s non-stop action in the newest romantic thriller by the always awesome Robards… Classic romantic suspense by a genuine master!” RT BOOKREVIEWS “…fast-paced action, nail-biting suspense and blazing sexual tension….” KIRKUS REVIEWS spellbinding romantic suspense….” PUBLISHERS WEEKLY starred review.
