Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a local from the island of St. Thomas located in the United States Virgin Islands. I have written a motivational book entitled Herotations. I have used a coined phrase of hindsight wisdom. This just means that the mistakes that I have made in life no one else has to.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Herotations was inspired by my life and the many ways that I saw that could have made it more worthwhile. For years I would share a daily quote to my social media public in hopes of inspiring a wonderful day. I decided that it was far pasa time that I share these quotes with the world and give some insight on who I am and why you should step into the realm of Herotations.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I prefer to write at specific times so that my mind and body know exactly what is happening and will be intuned.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Bible has been a major influence in my life.
What are you working on now?
I will be bringing out a children’s book series this summer.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have been using Instagram, it gives me the ability to make some very creative commercials for my book.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is to plan your promotion strategy and keep to it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just do it!
What are you reading now?
I just finished “Shades of Purple” by Ingrid Hutchinson.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Children books to help inspire our youth.
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?
