Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a wife and a mother of four. full arms and busy fingers. Writing is my passion. I have written many stories/books so to speck on free sites, and i’m now just beginning to publish. I have two on Amazon as of now and working on the third.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Watching You.
It was inspired by an idea I had for a movie in another story I wrote, and a TV series about stalkers. Well, I took away all the bad qualities of the guy and made him just a harmless watcher who never touches any of the girls or talks to them. You find out later he is sweet, shy, virginal, and his past keeps him from thinking he deserves love or friends, until he meets this girl who sees him and opens him up.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
unusual? I don’t think so. When the moment hits, I write. No music, but there are kids asking for stuff, when I’m In the groove.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There’s to many to name. But I find I love indie writers the best, because there writing is from there hearts and before it gets to a publisher who tend to change everything.
What are you working on now?
Two books. A taboo story and another about a teen couple- that deals with bullying and the troubles most teens face these days, while trying to be together against the odds.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
As of write now, Facebook and getting to know other authors and talking. I haven’t found that one yet… I think word of mouth is your best bet. But hoping this works too..lol
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing and just keep going. You might never see green, but you won’t know until you try. And always pay for the editor, but one you can trust with your work that won’t change your ideas, just your grammar and sentence structure if needed.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just keep swimming….
but really.
Never stop, even when there’s days you don’t feel cut out for it. Never give up because it could always be the next story you write that will be the big hit, but you won’t know If you stop.
What are you reading now?
