I’m so excited today to be featuring my friend and editor at The HerStories Project, Stephanie Sprenger, for a Books of My Life post. After years of reading posts on her blog, Mommy, For Real, and exchanging comments and emails, this summer I finally got to meet Stephanie while I was in Denver on our family road trip.

I’m glad that I hadn’t read her bio before reaching out to her, because I would have been very intimidated. She’s had all of my dream jobs – a producer at ABC News (working with the late great Peter Jennings), an editor and chief of a life style magazine, a successful freelance magazine writer, and of course, published author.

Today for Books of My Life, I’m and featuring New York Times bestselling author, Brenda Jackson. Brenda is a prolific and award-winning writer. She’s even been nominated for the prestigious RITA Award (the Oscars for the romance writing industry) four times! She became a writer in a rather unique way. Brenda was a working mom (a loan officer) who discovered that her childcare provider was drugging her children with cough medicine and Tylenol during the day, to keep them quite. Can you imagine? She immediately quit her job to stay home and care for her children. After reading Jude Deveraux’s book, Knight in Shining Armor, Brenda wondered if she could write a novel.
