During the 2007 SCWW Conference, an editor from Harper Collins was interested in my novel, Radium Halos, a Novel about the Radium Dial Painters. She read the novel, and shared it with a colleague. Although they enjoyed it, they decided not to publish it, offering suggestions for improvement. With the revisions I made, I found a small publisher, and my novel was then published in 2009.”
