Grab a drink. Settle in. I’ve got a quick story for you. It starts, as most good stories do, with someone chasing a feeling. Picture a Texas writer surrounded by five kids, two literary dogs, one unreasonable cat, and a partridge in a pear tree—all orbiting a household powered by caffeine, chaos, and sheer willpower. Instead of getting into trouble in real life, she decided to invent it on the page. (Healthier for everyone. Mostly.) She didn’t set out to write the perfect thriller, but she has been chasing a certain feeling for years—chasing the perfect story. The kind that makes you miss your exit, burn your dinner, or stay up later than you meant to. The kind that makes a reader say “just one more chapter” and lie to themselves beautifully. Some writers chase awards. Britney chases that feeling. You might call it persistence. She calls it passion—the only real secret ingredient behind thirty-plus books and counting. Always reaching for whatever that elusive green-light moment is. She hasn’t caught it yet. But that’s half the fun.
Without a doubt, connecting with readers is the best part of this gig. You can find Britney online here:
