Yes, I have a writing heroine—Lea! Her pen name is Mavery Ellscott – and she is Canadian. In a short period of time she has grown her book business, and I want to be like her. Her enthusiasm is contagious!

Where Did We Met?

Lea and I met in Derek Doepker’s Book Coaching Group. When I first met her, she had one or two books written. Her questions for Derek and the group always stretched me. At first, I watched from afar, but I immediately I admired her energy. Now she has six books, a beautiful website and much of her book business set up for success. She does a couple weekly newsletters that keep her connected to her readers. She continues to rework the book covers to make sure her series succeeds. And because she has tech skills, she does a lot of the work herself.

We Connected

A couple years ago, we connected on a deeper level and decided to do a phone call outside of the book coaching group. What a thrilling time we had, exchanging ideas and getting to know each other in a more personal way. We have a lot in common because we both were educators—retired teachers with a new passion!

The time flew by on the visit, and Lea shared some great resources with me. I knew we had carved out a new friendship.

We met a second time on last year and again we shared resources, but Lea always has really different and great resources that benefit me and my writing business. One of her resources I have truly enjoyed is AuthorHeadShots. I had so much fun with the new pictures they created of me from a trove of pictures I sent them. Here’s a sample:

We tried to met a third time but we couldn’t coordinate the time. I know for sure we will stay connect and support each other in our writing endeavors.

Time Passes

Because Lea has a lot going on in her life besides writing, she has missed several of the book coaching sessions. She is the primary care-giver to her two elderly parents. Lea also suffers from a debilitating disease which limits her activities. Our move caused me to miss several too.

But any time we end up back together at the book coaching session, each of us gives a sly wave and a smile to the other, and I know the depth of conversation around her questions will be the highlight of the session.
