Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I’m Jenice Revers, a lively and fun-loving person who loves to laugh and to dance. I am also a mother of 3 beautiful children ages 3, 15 and 20. My background is in counselling and psychology. I have worked with children and families over the past 20 years both in my country of birth, Jamaica and in the UK where I now reside. I have written 2 books and is currently in the process of releasing my third. My books include ‘Immigrant Workers to the UK: A Personal Journey to Success’; ‘Damn It, I’m Worthy: 7 Steps to Transform the Relationship with Yourself’ and my third title yet to be revealed soon.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called ‘Damn It, I’m Worthy: 7 Seven to Transform the Relationship with Yourself’. The inspiration for this book came out of a place of saying that ‘enough is enough’ and acceptance that our worth is never defined by the horrible experiences we have had. It is especially dedicated to women to the commonality of them usually expressing feelings of unworthiness. Hence, the intention that I have poured into ‘Damn It, I’m Worthy’ is that women will know for sure that it doesn’t matter whether you have experienced abuse or loss, you are enough, your value and worth cannot be changed by people, situations or events. I also intend for women to be aware that ‘life isn’t happening to them. Life is responding to them. You are creating our reality by the thoughts you have consciously or unconsciously. I wanted to use my life experiences of abuse and loss suffered to indicate to women that it is possible to heal and learn to love yourself even following the most horrendous life events.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
As I am a passion-led writer, the process of documenting my thoughts is usually quick and fluent. My passions usually evoke a flow of ideas and words of expression. I also usually mull over the idea or talk with others a lot about my topics before writing. Hence, I use these opportunities to clarify the content before writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am a lover of self-help books hence I have read books from authors such as Marci Shimoff, Iyanla Vanzant and Norman Vincent Peale.
What are you working on now?
My third book on ‘Sex and Sexuality’ is to be release pre-Valentines Day in February 2016. In this book, I engage my readers in a fun, light-hearted manner using erotic poetry, scenarios and open discussions to talk about the sensitive topic of their sexuality, sexual satisfaction and desires.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still exploring using a combination of social media platforms; direct contact with readers via speaking engagements and digital marketing to promote my book. Hence, I’m yet to decide which is the most effective method of promoting my book. Stay connected as I will be able to share experience soon.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is to ensure that the publishing package you intend to invest in, is one that is cost-effective and one that will provide the support you need. Consider putting away some money for marketing and promotion as after your book is published, you will need a strategy to let potential readers know about it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
One of the best advice that I have ever heard is not to take yourself too seriously as all is well. Hence, we must laugh more especially about what we considered to be mistakes or failures as things will eventually work out for our good. Most things we worry about never really happened or if happened, we are able to manage it.
What are you reading now?
The Multi-Orgasmic Woman by Mantak Chia and Rachel Carlton Abrams
What’s next for you as a writer?
Following the release of my next book on sex and sexuality in January 2016, I intend to continue writing extensively on the topic of sexuality. I also design both online programmes; deliver face to face workshops and VIP coaching programmes around the topics shared in my books. See products and services on my website www.jenicerevers.com
