Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a freelance writer and techie who grew-up in a small Midwestern town and now resides on the East Coast; that is when I’m not traveling and relaxing from the daily grind.
I love of animals, sports, and technology, and to read and write. In addition, I have a profound interest in personal growth and technology. Whether it is my own growth or helping others to reach their maximum potential, I strives to learn something new each day. My children’s book series was designed to help young readers learn valuable lessons, while being entertained by a young character going through many of the same things they are.
In addition to my passion for literature and helping others, I absolutely love to travel. I have traveled throughout the U.S. and Canada, and my world conquest includes Austria, Australia, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, U.K., and South Africa. One day I hope to see The Great Wall of China, Acropolis of Athens Greece, and Saint Petersburg Russia.
I’ve written a series of adult coloring journals and now I’m onto my Nuff Said Stuff Children’s book series. I have three of Nuff’s books published with many more to come!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The one I’m talking about now is Teamwork Makes The Dream Work. I’ve had a lot of help with my writing career from editing to illustrations to ideas and more and I thought that it’s important for kids to really understand how working together with a powerful, supportive team can really help you achieve all your dreams. As the saying goes, “No man is and island,” and this book shows kids what happens when you try to do everything yourself instead of working with a good team.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing that comes to mind? I do get a lot of inspiration from nature, so I do like writing at the beach and outside when possible. Other than that, it’s really just writing down my ideas and organizing them into something that makes sense.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love the Dr. Seuss and Sandra Boynton book series. They’ve influenced thousands of kids worldwide and someday I hope I will too!
What are you working on now?
I’m really excited about building my Nuff Said Stuff author platform! There’s just so much to learn and do! Who knew that writing a book would be one of the easy things! Building an entire platform for my readers to follow is so important, so I’ve had to learn about making a website, building a Facebook page, getting on Twitter, Pinterest, and so many other things! It can be overwhelming if I let it and so far, it’s been really fun!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well, I’d love some suggestions if you had any!!! And so far, Amazon KDP has been both great and frustrating! Seriously though, just having a huge market place to print/publish/promote your book like Amazon has been a blessing! I remember talking to an older friend of mine who started publishing before Amazon was around and he was telling me just how difficult it was to get published – either with a publisher or as a self-published author. His first self-published book cost him over $10,000!! Now, you can publish your own quality books for less than $1,000 on Amazon and it makes it so easy to manage!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Writing should be a passion, not a job, so write what you love and share it. You’ll discover that if you write and share enough, you’ll find lots of people who will love it too!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition!

What’s next for you as a writer?
Why more writing of course! And traveling too!
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?
