I write books I ve always been a writer I know it s cliche but I started writing almost as soon as I learned to read I wrote a play for school in the third grade that they put on for Christmas that year I ve never quite forgiven my sister for getting married that night I missed my own production I ve worked in various fields throughout my career I was a cop, EMT, photographer, journalist, high school English teacher for special education, and most recently, a published author.I enjoy using the skills I ve learned in those jobs in my writing A little less research is needed when I write books with police or medical information.I love to hear from readers and other writers I can be reached on Twitter at HopeWelsh and my blog at hopewelsh or my website at hopewelshAuthors write because they have a story to tell They publish to tell you their story Please be sure to leave a review when you read a book you enjoy We do appreciate it, I promise.
