Marcia BreeceOnce a globe-trotting corporate marketing executive, Marcia Breece lives on the Washington Coast where she enjoys the tranquility and solitude she needs to write. The beach provides daily photo opportunities, whether it's the foggy shore at sunrise, ald eagles drifting on the wind, or moon snails excavating the sand at low tide. My wanderlust has pasted. This is what I need, now. Through her home-based business, Publishing-Partners, Marcia helps other self-published authors get their books to market, whether eBook, POD or audiobook. Experience promoting her own books guided her to offering her skills to this niche market. It's a typical grass roots story, says Marcia. An author friend asked me to help with his book, then his friend did the same, and so on until I had a group of author clients that needed help with self-publishing and marketing. I'm convinced that if you stay open, what you love to do will find its way to you. Her passion for photography started at the age of five when she first held her granddad's Kodak. His collection of black and white images from the old west still kindle her creativity. Someday those images will be the inspiration for another novel. Writing became her outlet in the late 1970s when she began journaling. In the 80s she wrote user manuals and in the 90s she wrote articles for technical magazines but longed to write from her heart. Meanwhile, she realized she couldn't breath deep enough and still show up at the office. A line from Mary Oliver's Poem said it all, ...are you breathing just a little and calling it a life? (Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches?) She left the corporate world to buy a llama farm where she opened a B&B. Although she finished her memoir, she found that farm chores and Inn Keeping left little time for writing. In 2010, she sold the farm, and moved to the beach where she found the freedom and inspiration to write her novel Secrets Lost. Read More Read Less
