Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was raised in the Island of Antigua until I was six years old. From there my family moved to Miami, FL. It was there that I met my dearest friends who are from many different cultures. I always loved to hear stories and in my imagination I created a few myself, but reading and writing wasn’t something that came easy to me. At the age of ten, I was diagnosed with dyslexia. You can just imagine how difficult that was. When I finally began to read a new world opened up to me, and from then on I began to write stories that captivated my family and friends. I hope to be an inspiration for children and adults who struggle with this disorder; to hold on to their dreams and never give up.
In the last few years I have written four novels, Second Best, Is It Worth It, For A Lifetime and Alone In My Memories. Writing is a dream come true and I have loved every moment of it.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I am currently writing my fifth novel entitled An Independent Woman. I was inspired to write this book based on the strength I saw in my mother. Women in this generation have to be so strong and very independent. Independence is good, but sometimes we forget how to lean on someone, our mate and let him fulfill his role as a husband. This story is about a woman named Samantha who fears being open and vulnerable with any man, based on the secret she discovered in her parent’s marriage. One day a man, Justine, comes into her life and challenges the views she has about love, trust, and matrimony.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t have any unusual writing habits. My writing process begins with inspiration; it could be a person, a poem, a book or even a movie. Once I was walking around in a museum and I saw a man and his son. I began to wonder what happened to his wife. I started to create reasons why she wasn’t there, reasons that helped me to create a theme for my story. When I went home I sat down and began to write an outline for the main characters I had created in my mind. I believe once you know your characters, I mean really understand them, then it is easier to write your story.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have a deep love for classical literature. Among my favorites are Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I can’t say I have a best, but I use Facebook, twitter a lot to draw attention to my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. I found that everyone has an opinion, but that doesn’t mean your future as a writer is based solely on what one or a few people say. Keep working on your writing skills. Everything gets better with practice. Dedicate at least five hours to writing a day and you will see some amazing results.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up on your dreams.
What are you reading now?
Not really, since I am doing a lot of research for my next book.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to continue publishing my novels and establishing myself more as a clean romance writer.
