**********************************************************************************

Although I’ve been unlucky in love in real life, every man with whom I’ve had a romantic relationship has influenced my life in a very positive way — even when the relationship turned into a disaster! For example, one of my early jobs was at an organization that paid me so little that I struggled just to pay my basic bills. My boyfriend at the time sat down with me to examine my situation. I’d accepted a professional position where no one knew how to train me, but I’d succeeded in figuring out the details of my job responsibilities by myself. I was in charge of a few floundering programs and turned them around in less than a year.

Before I was hired, these programs had been ill attended and lost money. Under my management, attendance exploded and these programs became profitable. My boyfriend pushed me to ask for a significant increase in pay. He coached me and helped me practice my arguments. I felt confident when I met with my boss but was devastated when I was offered a meager raise one month ahead of schedule instead of a real salary increase.

My boyfriend then encouraged me to give notice and quit, even though there was a recession going on and I had no prospects for getting another job. The idea terrified me. I needed the safety and security of a steady paycheck, and the thought of taking such a big risk made me feel a very real and deep fear. But I pushed past my fear, quit my job, and did temp work until I landed another job. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I learned that no matter what happens, I can always find a way to land on my feet and be OK.

Many years ago, one of my writer friends made an observation that I’ll never forget: your characters can only be as psychologically and emotionally healthy as you are.

If I hadn’t taken my boyfriend’s advice and quit a job where I didn’t feel valued, I probably would have spent decades living in fear and working at jobs where I wasn’t treated well. In other words, I learned how to value myself and to seek out employers who would value me. Facing my fear of being jobless during a recession taught me courage. I learned how to take big risks. And the more risks I took, the more comfortable I felt in my own skin.

That’s a lot of what The Dragonslayer’s Sword is about: rising up to the challenges in your life and feeling comfortable in your own skin. If I hadn’t become more courageous in living my own life, there’s no way I could invent the characters that now populate my novels. Likewise, it’s easier for me to throw big obstacles in front of my characters, because I know I can help my characters figure a way around those obstacles. And it’s no coincidence that the male love interest in each novel tends to have a very positive influence on my main character, regardless of the path their relationship takes.



About “The Dragonslayer’s Sword

For Astrid, a blacksmith who makes swords for dragonslayers, the emergence of a strange gemstone from her body sets in motion a chain of events that threaten to destroy her life. Her happiness is shattered when her lover--the dragonslayer--disappears without a trace, and the life that she knows and loves implodes without warning.

Astrid lives in a world of shapeshifters whose thoughts have the power to change not only themselves but others. Everything Astrid knows to be true is called into question when she learns the truth about her past and the mysterious family from which she was separated as a child.

Reality turns inside out as Astrid gradually learns the truth about the people she loves as well as those she disdains. With the fate of dragons, ghosts, and slaves in foreign lands resting on her shoulders, Astrid faces the challenge of deciding who she is and how she will stand up inside her own skin. Will she withdraw and hide from the world that has disappointed her so much...or will she rise to lead others to freedom and peace?

Great insight. And a timely one too, considering the state of the economy today. I suppose that's why our characters are always growing -- we are too :)

Thanks for the kind words, Jessa. I'm starting a blog next week called "The Dragonslayer's Path: Turning Misfortune Into Fortune." People tell me that my greatest strength is finding the good in a bad situation, so my blog is mostly about mistakes I've made and how I've learned from them. I'm not offering advice. Instead, I'm revealing my thought process, because people tell me it helps them think about their own lives. My wish is that people will find my blog to be helpful in these hard times.
