Part #3 of our chat with author @MariaVale LUV: Many people dream about being a writer. What is the one thing you wish you had known when you started your career? Maria: To enjoy that time when you don’t have a contract or a pub date, before there’s any checking the likes of social media posts or the number of Goodreads reviews. That is the moment when your first book is pure love. If I could recapture that, I would distill it and wear it every day and it would smell like orange blossoms on Aegean winds in May. On a more practical matter, I started out traditionally published, so I had 18 months between signing and publication. I wish I’d used that time more efficiently.
