Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a brand new author, and I have published my first non-fiction book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book is Overwhelmed by Disney: When to Go, and it was inspired because I tried to tell people my process for choosing great dates to visit Walt Disney World. I am planning a full Overwhelmed by Disney series that will share other secrets of planning a great vacation.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t really do anything unusual.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Unofficial Guide to Disney is where I began learning that there were strategies to make a vacation more fun.
What are you working on now?
I am working on the second book in the series – Overwhelmed by Disney: Where to Stay as well as a fictional screenplay.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am learning this stuff as I go! 🙂
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write. And, then get an editor (even if you have experience editing for others – it’s not the same when it’s your own work). And, then publish. It took me 2 years to have the confidence to hit publish.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” ~ Marilyn Monroe

The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
