Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a healer, a Transformational Love Coach, Author, and Spiritual Teacher.
Real Passion Revolution: 10 Secret Ingredients for Healed, Healthy, Happy Relationships is my first book debuting on Valentines Day, February 14, 2017
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Real Passion Revolution: 10 Secret Ingredients for Healed, Healthy, Happy Relationships was inspired first by my own challenging marriage of thirty-three years as well as all of the unhappy relationships of nearly everyone I knew.
I don’t believe in settling for less than what is possible. It is my mission to bring healing, happiness, passion, and fulfillment back into romantic relationships.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to write! I actually inspire myself with my writing – this is where I am the most creative in my life!
I must write “to” someone or I get stuck! In Real Passion Revolution, I am often writing to a specific young woman who is like a daughter to me as well as to my adult children who will learn far more from reading this book than from my own mouth.
When I journal, I am writing to God so even there my writing is relational.
I guess, I just prefer to talk with others through writing – I also am never interrupted and can complete all my thoughts 😉
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Bryon Katie – Loving What Is
Don Miguel Ruiz – The Four Agreements
Marianne Williamson – Return to Love
Michael Singer – The Surrender Experiment
A Course In Miracles
Bible
Dr. William Glasser – Choice Theory
Ed Young – The Shack
What are you working on now?
I have 2 projects I’m working on:
1. A Real Passion Revolution Daily Devotional: A thought a day to inspire you to stay on track for a healed, healthy, happy life.
2. Transformational Love Curriculum: An online accredited high school course (available to the general public also) that teaches teenagers the relationship tools in Real Passion Revolution so they can learn to heal their wounds, become aware of their fears so they can disarm them, learn effective communication/listening skills, and teach them about self-awareness and self-empowerment.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I used Publishizer @ https://publishizer.com/ to pre-launch my book. They also query your book to various hybrid and traditional publishers that you can choose to work with or not. Go read their publishers list – lots of options for authors these days.
I’m using My LaunchTeam http://mylaunchteam.com/ to support my book launch (they referred me to Awesomegang)
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Begin your marketing process early. Use a company like My LaunchTeam to support your book launch. They have a ton of tasks for an author to do before, during, and after their book launch – I was introduced to them during my pre-launch so I’ve been burning the candle at both ends checking off the task list they provide. BTW – they got me to #1 Bestseller on Amazon in 2 categories 3 hours after my initial soft launch.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Follow those who have gone before you and do whatever they did to become successful.
