Featured BTR World of Ink Network Show The Writing Mama on November 19, 2012 at 2pm EST - 1pm CDT - 12 (noon) MDT - 11am PST Join hosts VS Grenier & Irene Roth as they chat with debut romance author Traci McDonald about her romantic suspense, Killing Casanova published by Crimson Romance. Traci McDonald has been a writer since she figured out how to make words on a page. Traci wrote for English classes like most people, but she wrote everything else in between. Traci won minor competitions with short stories, poetry and lyrics before becoming visually impaired. That is just a political correct way of saying Traci McDonald is blind. Traci lost her eyesight 17 years ago, but it never stopped her from living life and following her dreams.

I'm excited about today's interview for a few reasons. The BIGGEST reason is because Traci and I are friends. We actually live about a mile from each other, are both on the Heritage Writers Guild (a chapter of the League of Utah Writers) board, attend the same church, have kids at the same schools and both write. The other reason why I'm excited to have her as my guest author interview is because Traci McDonald is my inspiration to keep writing. Now I know she will tell you it is the other way around, but honestly, this woman is amazing and everyone who gets a chance to meet her will say the same thing. She's not only a great writer, but she is blind too and doesn't let it stop her. I know I have grown a lot because of our friendship and I hope this small interview will help to inspire you to keep doing what you love no matter what.
