A Leap of Faith

Written By Betty Almond

“When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.” D. H. Lawrence.

The way I interpret this quote is, don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith. For many years, I spent a good deal of time writing things down and crafting stories. I kept everything to myself wanting to publish but fearful of sharing my work. Was it judgement that kept me silent for so long? No. The fear of stepping out on the limb stems from being a person who is well versed in masking thoughts and feelings. Publishing gives people a slight glimpse into my thoughts. And here I am today sharing my thoughts in a blog and getting ready to publish a second book.

Know what I’ve learned through this journey? It is not the actual diving off into the air and being unsure where one will land that is the scary bit. No, the frightening part, standing on the edge working up courage to jump.

B. R. Almond is the author of For the Love of D. H. Lawrence. She enjoys fashioning suspense designed around family. The intricate emotional attachments mixed with how far one will go, be it to right a wrong, stay alive, or even for love is her sweet spot. And yes, she throws in a little romance. And if she can plug in a motorcycle scene, well that is icing on the cake.

A writer, farmer, and lover of motorcycles, she is from the southern region of Arkansas living the three L’s (Live, love, and laugh). When away from the keyboard, she toils around in the garden, dodges wildlife free ranging in her yard, and always on the search for a place to dive fork deep into great Cajun food. Mostly, she can be found walking in the woods thinking on her next writing project.
