I enjoy books that take me away, where I can escape into other worlds, like Cedar Cove, the fictional town Debbie Macomber created for her cast of characters.\u00a0 A Costco Connection article about Macomber invites readers into her real world.<\/p>\n

“When I first started out, the rejections came so fast they hit me in the back of the head.”\u00a0 November 2013, The Costco Connection.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The article continues, “Macomber describes her desire to write as a ‘dream that pounded inside of me.'” \u00a0She overcame dyslexia and taught herself the art of writing by dissecting Kathleen Woodiwiss’ The Wolf and the Dove. “Whatever was inside that story that made me want to go back and read them again and again, I wanted in my own story.”<\/p>\n

I knew from the time I was in grade school that I wanted to write books, but it was a dream I kept close to my heart for fear someone would laugh or tell me I’d never be published.”<\/p>\n
