Shiloh questions

Hi! I have bene reading your book Shiloh and I had a question, what time frame is this book in could you say and also dose a writer make enough for a living because I really really want to be a writer. THANKS!

I wrote the Shiloh books beginning in 1988, and the time frame would be about then.  Most writers do not make enough to earn a living–they teach, or they work in libraries or pet shops or factories or offices, and just write on the side.  I am able to make a good living at writing because I started very young.  I was writing short stories for church magazines when I was 16, and had my first book published when I was 35.  If you love to write, you will find the time and the way to do it, whether it’s full time or part time, early in the morning or late at night, because it’s something you feel you just have to do.
