Every day I got to meet new people and write about different things. But I also liked writing articles and columns for my high school paper, so I became a newspaper reporter. Way, way back, I always assumed I’d write novels. I’m honored to host Dave today, where he talks about his writing journey and the discoveries he made along the way.ĬC: When you started out writing, did you imagine you’d embark on the journey of a romance novel? I’d love to hear more about your background and how you came to be a Man Writing a Romance.ĭT: Way back.
