Takeaways

 

Writing books set in the 1960s and 70s can be challenging to find a publisher for, as it is often considered a ‘no man’s land’ in the publishing industry.

Indie publishing provides the freedom to write from the heart and express what is truly on the author’s mind, even if it doesn’t fit into the current market trends.

Trusting in the Lord and following His guidance is crucial in the writing process, especially when facing obstacles and uncertainties.

Marlene’s upcoming book, ‘All Men Are Liars,’ is part of the Jesus Revolution Romance series and explores the conflict between staying true to oneself and finding true love.
