As the author of four published romance/supernatural thriller novels (Pursuit, Redemption, Delirium, and Ransomed [published as LA Kuehlke]), I have a good understanding of the steps involved with writing, editing, and publishing a book. I have also served as editor for an emerging author's first novel, a horror story entitled Into the Hollow. Additionally, I have been a writing and grammar teacher for the past twenty-six years, so I have a firm grasp and understanding of grammar, syntax, mechanics, and spelling.
