Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I just had my seventh book published! Most of my books have been self-help, recovery, and inspirational books. Some of my titles include: “Tales of Addiction” “Gifts from the Child Within” “The Pact: Messages from the Other Side”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book is my first novel, titled “Finding Destiny.” It was a story that began as I sat at my keyboard without knowing where it would go! I finally did a brief outline of characters and realized it had become a complete book…:)
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Ummm…I guess that fact that I don’t write notes or in handwriting might be a habit. I just sit at the computer and storylines come to me naturally!!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love poetry and have written it most of my life as a way of relaxing and enjoying life. My new novel has lots of poetic prose and some actual poems in it. I was even thinking the sequel could be mostly poetry, what do you think?
What are you working on now?
The sequel to “Finding Destiny.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well, I don’t do a whole lot of promotion–oh no! when I found this site, Awesomegang I thought it looked good enough for me to join and see what happens! My publisher does little marketing as well but does get it out to the public worldwide.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing! Everyone has a story…maybe even a book! I have helped many friends complete their own books–love to edit and help others with their writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Well, as it pertains to writing I would say: Be simple…less is best.
What are you reading now?
I just re-read The Shack to see how it went with the movie. I had read it when it first came out and loved it, watched the movie and felt something was missing–so, I re-read it and found many things missing from the movie. However, the movie was very well done…:)
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am trying to finish the sequel to “Finding Destiny” which isn’t an easy task because I am feeling like traveling again.
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 Seat of the Soul” “The Education of Oversoul #7” “Finding Destiny”
