Dedicated to Providing Exceptional, Cost Effective, Family-Focused Care JUNE 2017 | SCENE 97 arts&culture stores, you could do well. But digital publishing and virtual retail have made it possible for anyone to put a book out into the world for free — and promote it. Because of all the new competition, many publishers cut their ties with some of their established, mid-level authors, and all authors are now competing for readers. For outsider authors, the digital publishing revolution has been a godsend. If you can build a following, you can write and sell and control every aspect of your business.   What’s next for you, writing-wise? I’m working on new fiction and also incubating ideas for nonfiction. I’d like to write about my father, who died in a lifesaving attempt that went wrong many years ago. It was a complex situation involving a number of other people, and not everything will ever be known about what happened. I want to honor my dad and what he and his friends did. This will involve quite a bit of research. But that’s one of the projects on my bucket list!   * * * Let me just seal the deal on convincing you to try out Crimes in a Second Language. The one-sentence pitch? “A retired Midwestern schoolteacher and her Latina housecleaner join forces to eliminate a mysterious enemy, erase the past, and unleash the power of literacy.” What more can you ask for? Give this new novel a shot today, and then move on to one of Sims’ series, her writing instruction book, her short story collection, or her fine articles in Writer’s Digest. You won’t be disappointed. We’re lucky to have such a talented writer — and teacher of writing! — in our own literary backyard. Make your summer memorable by taking the time to introduce yourself to the work of this first-rate writer.
