I decided to
start a new feature here on the blog, where I feature interviews with other
independent authors. I am curious about other authors' experiences with self
publishing, and feel like they could have a lot to teach. Here is our first
author. I believe she has a fascinating story, both personal and
literary.
My name is Nancy
Hartwell. I grew up in Tampa, Florida, studied international relations at
American U in Washington D.C., married a distinguished attorney from Cameroon
and lived there for 14 years. I am a life-long writer; I published my first
poem in a national magazine at age 8. I was a technical writer for a special
division of The Washington Post on Capitol Hill for 7 years, and lead proposal
writer for an international consulting company for 14 more. I have traveled to
44 countries and can get into trouble in more than 20 languages. I had a radio
play produced by BBC and another, in French, on ORTF
