Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m fifty years old and Philadelphia has been my home since the tender age of 5 months old. I’m an only child, married with no children of my own, but I do have two children that my husband had in a previous relationship.
This is my first book, and I’m in the process of writing my second book sharing my pain, and struggles of life in hopes of helping someone else. I had no idea that I could write until a friend proposed that I start a blog and it all started in October of 2014 with my first blog post. I’m really looking forward to writing many books and sharing this hidden talent I never knew I had with the world.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My books title is Be Encouraged, Be Inspired and Be Motivated to Keep Looking Up. It was inspired by many of the difficult situations that occurred in my life such as, dealing with difficult people, making wrong choices, getting over my past, etc. I thought about all that I went through and I was inspired to help others along in life.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No unusual writing habits. I just try to keep with the flow.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, An Enemy Called Average
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a book that shares the pain, struggles and setbacks that I faced in my life. I’m looking to help others get free from their past and move forward in all that God and life has for them to explore and enjoy. Basically helping others be the best version of themselves without the guilt of their past.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon giveaways have been very helpful in creating a buzz and getting new followers on twitter that have really helped in promoting my book.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice is to keep going and don’t give up. You can’t go by how you feel because many times we don’t feel like writing or inspired to, but we must press on and share our stories with the world.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To know that greatness is within in me, and I went through all of the struggles in my life to share a story and help someone else.
What are you reading now?
Gifts of God by Joel Osteen
What’s next for you as a writer?
Since I’m already blogging I would say possibly speaking engagements since my purpose in writing is to uplift and encourage.
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?
