For many, retirement signals a slowdown, but for Twilla Kay Lamm, it marked the beginning of a vibrant new chapter: becoming a published author. Lamm, who recently celebrated her book signing event at the Atoka County Library, shared insights into her journey from long-held ambition to literary debut with 'His Sweet Obsession.'
'I retired, and I always said when I retire, I’m going to write. So, I retired, and I started writing. I pulled some things I had already written. This was a manuscript I had written maybe 20 years ago. I pulled it out and thought well maybe it has an opportunity,' Lamm explained. Her research into romance writers and publishers led her to The Wild Rose Press, Inc.
Lamm felt a strong connection when Wild Rose, after she contacted them, responded with the phrase, “Bloom where you are planted”. As a former teacher, she had often used that very phrase in her classroom. 'I thought maybe that’s a sign,' she mused.
