I’m Florence Witkop and I’m an author and have been one for many years because I love stories and the characters that people them. If you, too, enjoy reading about the sometimes amazing situations people find themselves in — and how they get through those situations and not only survive, but thrive — then check out my books.

My favorite genres are science fiction and paranormal so my books often combine the two. My stories are always clean and almost always contain at least a touch of romance.

And all my books end happily. Always. You can come after me if that’s wrong, but it’ll never happen.

Check out the covers below to see some of my stories. All are available on Amazon. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

What does it take to have a career in writing?

What does it take to be a career writer? Several things come to mind:
  1. Patience
  2. Guts
  3. A professional mindset
  4. Hard work
  5. A thick skin
  6. Belief in yourself
  7. The ability to live on practically nothing, an ability that may only be necessary for a brief time but that might be permanent because writers today earn, on average, half of what they earned just 10 years ago due to the many easily available free books.
  8. A tiny bit of ability helps but is not as important as the first 7 things.
  9. A tiny bit of creativity but is not as important as the first 7 things.
