Why I wrote
Myra's Magic Moment
:
As
a writer I have many occasions to deal with corporations and other businesses.
As stories about people are my business I usually try to learn as much as I can
-- without being too nosey -- about the individuals i meet, especially the
obviously successful ones.
Some years ago I met a lady CEO who had a very interesting story. I wanted to write a book about her experiences but she felt that the less people knew about her the more successful she could be. And there is a lot of truth to that approach.
When I wrote The Magic Saguaro I had included in my cast of characters a man who had a very negative attitude towards his daughters. After all you have to have 'bad guys' to contrast with the 'good guys'. I realized that, here, was an opportunity to write a story about a Latina who, despite formidable odds, pursued a perch atop the glass ceiling and actually made it happen.
Thus developed the novel about Myra and her experiences. And, yes, there is a hidden romance which becomes not so hidden.
