When you don’t know what you are Writing about ASK AN EXPERT…!

The best stories begin with great questions. Learn how talking with experts can add authenticity, depth, and credibility to your writing.

🖋️ **Calling All Writers, Newbies to Novelists!** 📚

Ever hit a wall in your writing and think, “I need an expert’s touch on this”? You’re not alone! From first-time scribblers to prolific pen-wielders, we’ve all been there.

Thanks to the digital age, research is at our fingertips. But sometimes, Google just doesn’t cut it. Whether you’re spinning a mysterious tale, diving into history, or crafting a heartfelt romance, ensuring our characters are authentic and deep can be a challenge.

✍️ Penning a character with a rare illness? Chat with a doc or nurse. You’d be surprised how many medical pros are eager to lend their expertise!

✍️ Going historical? Connect with an author who’s walked those ancient roads before. Pro tip from my pal, author Steve Levi: Stuck for ideas? Dive into newspapers from a century ago. Inspiration awaits!

Experts are goldmines of knowledge, often thrilled to share. So, reach out, chat up, and listen. You’ll not only gain insights but might also stumble upon a fantastic new friend! ✨ #WritingCommunity #ResearchMatters #ConnectWithExperts

Mary Ann A Bio

Mary Ann Poll, America’s Lady of Supernatural Thrillers, is the award-winning author of the Ravens Cove series. Born in Texas and shaped by its wide skies and stubborn spirit, Mary Ann called Alaska home for over forty years — and though her boots are back on Texas soil, her heart never left the Last Frontier. That love for both lands breathes through every page — from the sun-baked spirit of Texas to the eerie perpetual light of the Alaskan solstice and the rich traditions of Alaska’s Indigenous peoples.

Her love for a spine-tingling story and her love for Christ come together in her writing. Mary Ann’s own spiritual journey — from a lifelong fascination with the supernatural to a deep and abiding faith — gives her novels their distinctive voice: suspenseful, grounded in real spiritual stakes, and rooted in hope.

When she’s not writing, Mary Ann enjoys gardening, swimming, and time with her beloved family and pets — who have a habit of finding their way into her stories.
