Who’s That Indie Author? Miriam Hurdle
I’m very excited that Barbara at Book Club Mom is featuring me today at her blog. I invited you to head over to read the interview.
Author Name: Miriam Hurdle
Genre: Poetry and Children’s Books
Books: Songs of Heartstrings: Poems of Gratitude and Beatitude and Tina Lost in a Crowd
Brief Bio: I write poetry, flash fiction, short stories, and children’s stories. I’m retired after two years of counseling, fifteen years of teaching, and ten years of school administration. During my retirement, I enjoy gardening, painting, photography, and traveling, especially going to visit my granddaughters.
What got you started as a writer? After I finished college in Hong Kong, I wrote children’s books as part of my job in a literacy company. In 2016, I started blogging with the desire to share my cancer recovery journey. The blogging took me to write about my travel notes, flash fiction, gardening, and poetry. I compiled the poems written in two years to publish my first poetry collection.
What difficult experience has helped you as a writer? I think the ten years of my first marriage, the five years being separated from my daughter, and my cancer experience made me look at life differently and helped me as a writer.
Have you ever participated in the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)? If so, how many times and what was your experience? I have participated in the NaNoWriMo 2017, and the NaNoWriMo Camp in July 2020 …

Good interview, Miriam. Even though I’m not a grandparent yet, I can appreciate how hard it was not to see your grandchildren.

Thank you, Pete. Dr. Fauci asked questions to many people during the pandemic of what they miss during this time. Many of them said they missed seeing the grandkids.
