About the author

Hi, I am Jamie McCoard (also known as Tevyn in the electronic industry). This blog is about my thoughts and dreams towards becoming a writer. Over time it will grow into a writer's journal.  I suggest you follow it now, so that you can say 'I was with her from the beginning.'   

BTW, I consider a writer as someone who is published and has sold books, therefore, I am not a writer (yet).

If you would like to read more about me please visit About The Author.
