Trading Properties for Pages: Former Real Estate Broker Makes Fiction Debut

Despite a decades-long dream of becoming a published author, LM Berthiaume only recently gathered the confidence to go for it. Her first novel, Defining Me, came to fruition after years of wishing followed by months of encouragement from family and friends. Now, after hours and hours of typing, editing, retyping, and editing some more, she is proud to finally share this story. Ms. Berthiaume’s hobbies include reading, eating Tex-Mex, singing along to turn-of-the-century hip hop, and being a #coolmom, obviously. Despite growing up in Texas, she has never owned a pair of cowboy boots OR a cowboy hat. She is a wife, boy mom, cat mom, sister, daughter, and friend. lmberthiaumewrite@gmail.com www.lmberthiaumewrites.com Instagram: @lmberthiaumewrites LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lmberthiaume
