Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is my very first book but I have many that I’ve started, just never finished. So be on the lookout for more to come.
I’ve always been painfully quiet, stayed behind the scenes at parties and other social gatherings and even picked jobs that keep me out of the view of others. But being on the outside of the limelight allowed me to look at a lot of relationships and lifestyles and really look at what makes people tick.
I have been very giving over the years and that often means others will try to get over because they think kindness is a weakness. It wasn’t until I started getting tired of being the one on the losing end that I started speaking out and telling others the true light (or their dark shadows) that is causing their battle in life.
I have been a counselor (of sorts) since I was a junior in high school. I am a good listener and even though I don’t talk much, I do give sound advice when asked.
I am a single mother of three, been through many relationships and have been able to pull from life’s experiences to put real grit in my stories. But only I know what’s real and what’s not (wink).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first book is called “Window Shopping”.
It was inspired by the things women go through in relationships and learn to live with while losing themselves in the process.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think I do. My chapters come in scenes in my head and I put them on paper. Not weird at all, right?
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love a wide range. I am fans of Dan Brown, to James Patterson, to Eric Jerome Dickey to Sidney Sheldon.
But I haven’t read anything in a while because I didn’t want any of their styles or ideas to be in my head as I wrote.
What are you working on now?
My next book involves what women can sometimes face in Corporate America and what the men in that world “think” they can get away with.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still feeling this out
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t run from your gift. Sit in a quiet place so you can really feel and be in tune with what you want to write about and then go for it. If it flows, it’s meant to be.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory
What are you reading now?
Absolutely nothing…I’m thinking about my next book.
