One night, I dreamed an entire story about a team of psychic Native Americans who find criminals and missing persons. When I awoke, I remembered the story, start-to-finish, with all the details. Over the next few weeks, I continued to dream the story. Finally, I knew I had to write it down. I set myself up on the dining room table with a “modern” Kaypro computer and started the task of transferring the recurring dream to paper.
Writing Backtrack: The Scout's Story was like watching a play on the screen of the computer. I saw each of the characters and heard their voices. It was surreal and mesmerizing, and I felt desperate to get to the end, so I typed constantly until it was finished. Once the story was completed—much to my family’s relief—I gave the first draft to my father to proof, and I put the Kaypro away. My dad’s unexpected praise for the story gave me the confidence I needed to believe in myself as a writer. But motherhood, homemaking, church service, and teaching were also important and time consuming, so my book fell to the wayside for a while…until I dreamed another story with the same characters, and then another. Suddenly, I knew this story was not an isolated event; I had a series on my hands.
Upon moving to Panama City Beach, I pulled out my manuscript and seriously considered its merits. I gave it to a husband/wife editing team at Patent Print Books to read. They liked it so much they published it under my pen name of Mickey MorningGlory, a name given to me by my grandfather, who was (according to my grandmother) "one of the dark people from the Okefenokee Swamp." Mist: The Bloodhound's Story was released in paperback in 2017. followed by Kachina: The Snapshot's Story, Ouroboros: The Echo's Story, Liahona: The Compass's Story, and the rest of the books in sequence.
I've been asked, “Why are you writing so many books in this series?”
The reason is simple: These Trackers just will not let me rest!
