Bradley Booth
Men who previously lacked a definite sense of purpose can often look back on a single experience that altered the course of their lives.
For some, it is the love of a woman. For others, it is the death of one.
In the case of Bradley Booth, the combination of both had such a profound effect that it led to him to write.
He lost his fiance to a rare form of leukemia and was advised to seek solace by venting his feeling among others who had suffered a similar tragedy.
Perhaps if he had done so, "I Apologize" would never have been written.
The culmination of five tormented years--during which he blamed himself for not doing more to save her--unleashed emotions that produced his first novel.

Shirley Damsgaard
I’ve read many bios that start with the words “I wanted to be a writer all of my life and wrote my first story at the age of five.” I honestly can’t say that’s true for me—at the age of five, as an only child growing up on a farm, my career goal was to be a princess. Unfortunately, all those positions happened to be filled, so I followed the path so many other women have traveled—marriage, children, a career outside of the home—in my case, with the United States Postal Service. It wasn’t until the tender of age of 48 that I really decided to try my hand at writing.
