Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
As a little girl, I wanted a big family- 12 kids! Although I did not grow up to have a dozen children, I did grow up to have a big family with 5 kids- both biological and adopted.
Motherhood and experience have deposited wisdom and understanding that I joyfully share with other moms on how they can become a perfect mom without having to be perfect. My passion has become empowering moms and equipping them to become confident and satisfied with themselves and their homes.
When not working with other moms/ families or caring for my own brood, you might find me tucked away writing in a coffee shop somewhere, on my small Texas farm sharing secrets with my favorite dairy goat Mattie, or cooking new gluten-free/ everything-else-free recipes in the kitchen… But chances are that I will either be chauffeuring teenagers, cleaning up something someone was still using, or most likely coming up with yet another great idea that makes more work for my already hard-working husband.
SuperMom and it’s SuperMom Companion Workbook are my debut books as a new author. So, these are my first two books. I have several more lined up already.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
SuperMom: Become the mom you’re made to be, build the home you’re meant to have, and SuperMom Companion Workbook are my new release duo.
I mentor moms, a sort of life coach for mothers. It was the next logical step to be able to share life-changing foundational supermom secrets and pass it on to as many moms as I can. I had to learn some things the hard way. Hopefully I can not only spare some moms the same trouble, but be able to change future generations by helping moms today.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like eating crunchy things while I write- usually crushed ice or chips. Neither is good for me, so I should really find something else.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer and Ann Voscamp are a few of the pivotal authors who have shaped not only my writing, but my character. They all have distinct individual ways of inspiring change that makes their readers a better person, which make readers have a better life. That is what I want- to make moms’ and their families’ lives better from my books.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a couple of books and will be narrowing down which one I want to focus on getting out next. They all have to do with motherhood. One book is about how to have your family help with dinner and teaching your kids how to cook meals as young as 6-7 years old. Another book is about mistakes parents make before the teen years and what they can do now to make those years joy filled instead of strife filled.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Since this is my first book, I am still discovering best methods. Self Publishing School has been an amazing resource to help me know what I don’t know about this promoting and marketing business for my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Know who your reader is. Your book will find readers who it was not meant for, those are your critics. Don’t take them personally. You’re book was never meant for them. BUT, when your book connects with the ones who you have written it for, then magic happens. Words go down into the inmost being, and your’s will change the lives of those whom it is written for.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
As far as writing goes, the best advice I received is: Done is better than perfect.
What are you reading now?
I am reading several books for some fellow indie author friends to help launch their books.
* Hamster Wheel Relationships for Women by Louise Van Liebenberg
* Never a $7 Whore, My Journey from a Lady of the Night to the Lady of the Boardroom, by Toni Crowe
* Prayers , Punk Rock and Pastry by Chris Stewart
What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, I will be working to establish my presence in the book world and getting quality content out that will leave a positive imprint on the world around me,
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?
My Bible, my journal, and a book how to survive on a desert island
