Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is my first book. I currently work in the automotive industry, but I’ve always taken an interest in health and science. In my free time, I volunteer with various organizations. I also play piano and I love to work on seek and find puzzles.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is 20 Easy & Quick Recipes To Lose 20 Pounds. It was inspired by my company sponsored weight loss challenge. I lost over 30 pounds in 8 weeks. This weight loss inspired me to write my latest book.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I still have to hand write most of my work. I just can get started with typing it out. Physically writing my outlines help me focus on my thought process and the purpose of the book.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My biggest influencers are Jane Austin, Zarathustra, Toni Morrison and Erin Morgenstern.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on a devotional style book.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth has still been the most effective for me. Usually, people will buy your book if you can pitch them well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My biggest hang up was just getting started. My advice would be to jump right in, and don’t worry about all the details. You will have time to work out the details in the future.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Always smile. Even if you’re unhappy, smiling is contagious. It’ll start to brighten your day.
What are you reading now?
I’m currently reading The Chocolate Wars.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would like to start working on some fictional books. I’ve never written in that genre, so it’ll be an interesting challenge.
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?
I would take Song of Soloman, The Games People Play, and Chicken Soup For The Soul
