Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Kentucky girl. I am a UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY Basketball fan. I love the Big Blue Nation #BBN I love to spend time with my family and friends. I have been married for 16 years and I have 3 kids. I work in the healthcare field. I enjoy a nice bottle of wine and a whole lot of Karaoke. Writing is something that calms me. It takes me on a trip to any country, city and state I want to be in and experience. I guess you can say it is an escape from reality just in the moment of writing.
I have written one book so far Exposed Secrets. I cannot wait to share with you all my work.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Exposed Secrets It was published, July 16,2014 . Inspiration came from a lot of my surroundings. Friends, co workers but most of all the “I think I can” that seemed to always be in by head. I have always wanted to write and I create stories in my head all the time. I wanted to put Pen to Paper and let that caged up story come to life.
My book is about Interracial love. A life of a successful lawyer that is broken.. She was coming to grips with being alone. She has a dysfunctional family life. The one person that she could always count is gone… Then she meets someone. It is a book that I got lost in while writing I have so much to add to it that is why I decided on another book or 2. I want a realistic story that people could identify with and I pray that I have been able to deliver it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I act out a scene when it comes in my head to see if it feels natural. As far as can this happen in real life? My Mirror is my best friend when writing sometimes… I don’t know you asked for Unusual and I am having a hard time explaining. hahaha!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Bible
Inside Out Series by Lisa Renee Jones.
This Man Trilogy by Jodi Ellen Malpas
Anything I pick up and read by Ava Claire
E.L. James Fifty Shades Of Grey
Crossfire Series
There are so many to really lists! I love to read.
What are you working on now?
I am working on my second book in The Secrets Series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I can honestly say Facebook and Goodreads. I am still working to master my blog and twitter. but it is coming around. WORD OF MOUTH! that is what I am aiming for. That is how I found most of the Authors I read today!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. I know a lot of people say this. But, please don’t give up. I think that is harder than anything else. When writers block comes your way just “Keep Swimming” There was many days I sat and cried because everything I wrote seemed like garbage or either I just could not think enough to write.
Walk away and come back with a refreshed mind!!!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
YOU CAN DO IT!
What are you reading now?
I am reading nothing at the moment. I just finished Jodi Ellen Malpas One Night Promised a couple days ago.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to write more books. I want to see them sale and people who loves them as much as I do.
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?
Lisa Renee Jones
Ava Claire
Jodi Malpas
