Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Ann B. Rhodes and I began writing when I was 8 years old. I discovered my gift of writing in my 6th grade language arts class. I have published two poetry books, “From the Beginning until Now” and “A Sight to Behold”. Just recently, I published my first devotional book, “A Daily Reflection”. My books are based my strong relationship with God and how I strongly depend on him in life.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“A Daily Reflection” is my lastest book and my strong belief in God inspired me to write it. My background is writing poetry books, but I wanted to write something different.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write down anything that pops into my head. I always keep a journal so I don’t forget any important thoughts.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The late Dr. Maya Angelou is an author who influenced me to write. After watching her read her poem, “On the Pulse of Morning” at the inaugration of President Clinton, it made me realize that it is important for people to hear my voice and the message that God has given me to speak.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on another devotional book that will be published at the beginning of 2020.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I always seek feedback from my launch team members about new books that I might have coming out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Always keep trying.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up on your dreams.
What are you reading now?
I am reading a book called “Author’s Inc”.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to create an online course in the new year.
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?
