Lynda Kaye Frazier, USA Today Best Selling Author

I was in a chat room the other night and listened while other authors described what their writing area was like. Some had quiet rooms filled with books and soft music. Others had screened in porches surrounded by the sounds of the woods around them while a few had a decorated corner in their bedroom. I stayed pretty quiet because I really had no specific area to describe as my retreat to concentrate. I wrote my first book in the living room. I sat on the couch, while my husband watched TV.  No special area, quiet room filled with soft music or a relaxing room outside.  Then I began to think about what my idea of the perfect writing area would be like. first I thought of a small, quiet room. Surrounded by all my reference books. Then I thought, why not go bigger. Dream of the perfect area to write the next New York best seller. And it hit me, a tree house. The perfect get away, surrounded by the sounds of nature and surrounded by all my reference books. The best

As my sister battles with Multiple Sclerosis I decided to read up on treatments, therapies and basically what other people thought about it. What an eye opener. The labels people put on others just amaze me. MS effects the whole body. It doesn't discriminate against anything so the mind is effected also. The one thing that my sister hates the most is how it effected her memory. Leaving her in what she calls a brain fog. That's where the human ignorance amazed me. I actually found statements from individuals on chat forums stating that once it effected the minds of the patient they should just stay home so they didn't get lost or forget what they were doing when they went out. That about says it all. MS doesn't mean that their stupid, or slow. So my words to everyone is don't judge. You cannot tell me you've never walked into another room and stopped, wondering why you went there. Or searched the house looking for your keys to find them in your pocket.

Summer is always a special time for me. My children come home for visits and I get to sit outsde and enjoy the great outdoors. People think I'm strange becase I love the heat. I don't even mind a few mosquitoes once in  awhile, but just a few. My home has a large deck that is not far from my pond and I'm surrounded by large oak trees. So sitting outside, listening to the frogs and crickets, while writing my next book is heaven for me. This year I want to invite all of you to attend Summer Camp with me. MFRW is an amazing group and they have helped me reached my goal to be a published author with thier advise and information. So this year join  Marketing for Romance Writers summer camp.

I am honored to  be nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by Cathrina Constantine   Its a fun award that brings blogs together and allows fellow writers to nominate others they feel should get recognition for their writing. Part of the acceptance of this award is to answer a list of questions. Here are the eleven questions for my acceptance" 1.  What one goal must be accomplished by the end of the summer?  I have a Young Adult I am writing that I want to finish. 2.  One regret from your youth.  Not paying closer attention during English class.  3.  Dancing or watching?  Dancing of course.  : ) 4.  Favorite movie star?  Right now its Channing Tatum, just because he is so nice to look at. At my age its all about the eye candy. 5.  Favorite Movie.  I go to the movies every week so it would not fair to have to pick just one. I will give you a category  I love the hallmark channel so that should say it all. I'm a sucker for a sappy tearjerker.

As a writer I research a lot of events, places and different life styles for my stories. But when my sister was diagnosed with MS my research took on a whole new meaning. I searched the web for anything that would make her life easier. New therapies, drug trials, life aids that would make tasks simpler but nothing prepared me for the day I realized I couldn't buy something to make this go away. MS is a life long disease. It effects the person diagnosed and their family. My sister was diagnosed in 2006. She has always been a very strong and independent person, and still is, just with a few modifications.  We realized a few months ago that it was getting harder for her to stay on her own. Her leg was getting weaker and the effects on her arm made simple tasks like getting dressed more difficult by the day. We made a family decision, and my sister made a difficult journey from being on her own to living with me. I know how hard that was for her and I admire her for what she go
