Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have just published my first of many! A Less Than Golden Life: Finding Meaning in the Average Life Story.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Less Than Golden Life: Finding Meaning in the Average Life Story. I was inspired to write this during a time in my life where I found little satisfaction and purpose. It was a challenge to see if my life had any meaning, even if it was ‘average’.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like writing each chapter as a separate story. In the case of the memoir, it made it easier to read.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Bob Goff and Donald Miller are my all-time favorites, and are the voices of story for my generation – in my opinion. I also love Mitch Albom and C.S. Lewis.
What are you working on now?
I am working on getting my book into the hands of as many people as possible. I just feel it is something they can really connect with, and would love to find a friend in every reader I get.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth is always a priceless marketing tool.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
As a new author myself, I would just say that anything is possible. I never would have thought I would be where I am today, but hard work can take you places.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
That dreams are not impossible for those who put in the work to achieve them.
What are you reading now?
Love Does – Bob Goff
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am looking for my next topic to write about, and developing a story line that can impact the lives of my readers.
