Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a former teenage mom and wife, the divorced mother of two young adults and one teenager, and the grandmother of one precious little boy. I have a degree in biological science and I am a licensed RN. I worked as an RN for over ten years before quitting to write full time. I have written and published 11 books in the genres of Women’s Fiction and Inspirational Romance with many more on the way!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recent release is the latest installment of my Been So Long series: Been So Long III (Whatever It Takes). It is the ongoing saga of a woman torn between two men who have been a part of her life for a long time. It is really about her battle of love vs. lust. What inspired me was the fans of the series who were clamoring for more of the story and the characters who spoke loud and clear about what they wanted to happen.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I can write anywhere and at anytime. I can tune out noise and I don’t require any certain setting.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Alice Walker’s The Color Purple was a big influence on me. I also love to read books by Terry McMillan, Bernice McFadden, and James Patterson.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a Been So Long prequel and a book that will be a continuation of my Bluesday series. I also have a couple of other things I’m working on. I can’t seem to work on just one book at a time, lol.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve had a lot of success with Facebook. Twitter is good, as well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what feels right, not what’s popular. Stay true to your voice and follow your heart. And NEVER give up!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Never forget why you started.” Not sure who said this.
What are you reading now?
Believing God by Beth Moore
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books written and published, and hopefully, more readers.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Holy Bible
Nowhere is a Place by Bernice McFadden
Mama by Terry McMillan
