Meet Linda MacDougall

Linda got her M.A. in Counseling Psychology because she was seeking answers to family dysfunction. She already had a background of working with the developmentally disabled population since high school. She went on to be an administrator of two group homes for United Cerebral Palsy for over a decade. Following her ex-husband's career, she then moved to Hawaii and became a Federal advocate for the state of Hawaii's families dealing with their population of developmentally disabled. Her work there brought change to the system in the way of studies and a medical review board as well as the state guardians beginning to imitate her way of questioning and challenging the way things had always been done.

Today her focus has changed to the older adult population. She is a senior health advocate and massage therapist, a holistic health practitioner, and a management consultant for caregiving situations. As a senior herself, Linda is also an advocate for change in the senior living space. Her background and focus on awareness led to the writing of her book "The SPIRIT Method of Massage for Seniors: Raising the Bar...A Primer for Massage Therapists and Caregivers".

Meet Cary Herwig

Cary discussed her journey into writing, starting professionally in her 40s. She emphasized the challenges of writing, including the need for multiple drafts and the importance of finding one's voice. Cary highlighted the evolution of publishing, noting the shift from traditional publishers to self-publishing, which now has a better reputation. She advised aspiring writers to attend writing conferences for networking and learning. Cary also mentioned the role of technology, like computers, in easing the writing process compared to typewriters.

Army Brat Haunting Book Series

Cary's 'Army Brat Haunting' series is a collection of four books, each about 30,000 words, forming a larger narrative. The series follows Vivian, a young girl who encounters ghosts while moving with her military family. The books explore themes of curiosity and mystery, with settings in Kentucky, Tennessee, France, and Texas. Cary drew from her own experiences as an army brat, incorporating historical and cultural elements. The series is intended for a broad audience, including younger readers and those interested in 1950s nostalgia and ghost stories.

Travel Experiences and Personal Stories

Terry and Cary shared personal travel experiences, highlighting the impact of travel on their lives. Cary recounted her childhood travels as an army brat, living in nine states and France. Terry shared her husband's experiences as a Merchant Marine, traveling globally. They discussed the importance of traveling while young and healthy, emphasizing the enriching experiences and cultural exposure it provides. Cary also mentioned her travels to Canada, England, and Egypt, expressing a love for historical sites and old countries, which influence her writing and personal growth.

Advice for Aspiring Writers

Cary offered advice for aspiring writers, emphasizing persistence and the importance of finding one's voice. She recommended joining writing groups and attending conferences for networking and learning. Cary warned about the potential pitfalls of writing groups, where members might rewrite others' work. She stressed the value of having alpha and beta readers for feedback and the importance of thorough research to ensure accuracy in writing. Cary also highlighted the role of technology, like using Word's read-aloud feature, to improve writing quality.

Self-Publishing and Marketing

Cary discussed the evolution of self-publishing, noting its improved reputation and the opportunities it presents for authors. She mentioned that self-publishing allows for greater control over the publishing process, though it requires authors to handle marketing and distribution. Cary highlighted the importance of learning to pitch books effectively and attending conferences to connect with agents and editors. She also noted that while self-publishing can be lucrative for some, it requires significant effort and is not a guaranteed path to financial success.
