From Zero to Full-Time Author in just a year! / with mystery author Dionne Lister

USA Today bestselling author, Dionne Lister, is Australian with a degree in creative writing and two Siamese cats. Daydreaming has always been her passion, so writing was a natural progression from staring out the window in primary school, and being an author was a dream she held since childhood.
Her books have reached #1 on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple Books charts worldwide, frequently occupying top 100 lists in fantasy and mystery.
Not only did Dionne take on writing full time in a relatively short space of time, but she did so with a small newsletter list!

The little cat creating chaos in this video is an absolute delight. 😹

Erica, I agree. Cats are the best! ;) Shar

This was great. "I don't write about Australia because it's boring" I understand completely. I live in Scotland and I'm from here. My characters thus far are in the USA. I've lived all around the USA and write in US English. I have family in the US, Ireland, Scotland, England, Austrailia and New Zealand. I am amazed at all the romance authors who write about the kilt wearing highlander. Again, just a daily occurrence when you live here. 😉 Work life balance is definitely needed. When I've dealt with a couple of weeks of rain and a few sunny days come along you can bet I'm taking advantage of that and walking along the shore as I live along the seafront.

Thanks for watching! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds their home country boring lol.

I love your channel. I know virtually all of the people you have on are Cozy, Fantasy or Romance, but I get so much from your episodes. I write British Crime novels.
