I have always been a bookworm and had always meant to write a novel “someday.” You know, when I won the lottery and could live in beach house and look out onto the water and feel inspired. Eleven years ago I decided to stop waiting for my winning lottery ticket and sat down and started writing. In between work and family obligations, I piled the words on top of each other until they formed sentences, paragraphs, chapters and eventually a book. I have now published eleven novels and novellas. While I’ve hopped around genres, from paranormal romance to serious women’f fiction, all of my books to date have a common theme: strong women handling what life throws at them the best way they can.I also host a podcast, Nice Girls Reading Naughty Books, where I interview various members of the publishing industry.Further information about my books and podcastcan be found at http://www.bernadettewalsh.com.
