Guest Post
How has your background in teaching changed the way you write?
First off, let me say that I believe every author is, in one way or another, a teacher. Wielding words in a classroom is much like weaving words in a manuscript—you need to effectively use them to keep your audience engaged and entertained.
Now I realize that not all writers create stories to teach. In fact, many readers don’t like it when a story has an underlining goal or point. But, the truth is, every experience that, if our characters are relatable, then the situations they go through, and their response, conveys an idea to readers that they may choose to implement in their own life.
For me, a large part of my classroom revolved around story. I wove grammar lessons into a series of teen-drama stories that I’d make up on the spur of the moment that lasted throughout the school year. At the end of each year, I’d leave the kids on a cliffhanger and tell them, “You have to take the next level of French to find out what happens!”
At one point, I had the highest elective retention rate in the school!
But being a teacher, not only let me exercise the power of storytelling—it fueled a relentless curiosity, especially in the domains of history. Researching facts, storing information, and conveying that information in a meaningful way is at the heart of what I do.
Earlier this year, I made the decision to end over a decade of work as an educator. I’ve moved on to the vacation rental industry but writing historical suspense still allows me to tell stories that inspire as well as entertain.
For example, In the Shadow of Your Wings, zeroes in on finding strength to beat overwhelming odds, while In the Midst of the Flames integrates the theme of forgiveness as a choice with a high-adrenaline plot. In the Dead of the Night meshes different perspectives of the Great War with the idea that each of us has the power to be the light in a dark world.
So, I’m still a teacher and always will be. And, in so doing, I’m still a lifelong learner.
