Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written, illustrated, and self published 5 books. I’m just a small town girl from backwoods Georgia that moved off the dirt road to make my own way! I graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Natural Resources and have spent a portion of my adult career as a Wildlife Biologist (I’m 32).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Sailing Snailor: A Rhyming Mermaid Tale
Inspired by my love for poetry and the ocean
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wouldn’t call them unusual… but I love to write poetic children’s books that rhyme
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dr. Seuss and Lucy Flemming’s Illustrations
What are you working on now?
“Not Enough Hugs: A Little Hippo’s PTSD” – This is a children’s mental health book
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Posting constantly on all social media outlets, Facebook group interactions, Fiverr book promoters and press releases, blogs and podcasts
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself… know that this is an ever changing game and you’re either in it because you love it, or you’re burnt out because you pushed too hard. I believe there’s room for everyone, so support your fellow authors.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Happiness is not a linear goal, so make it a daily maintenance
What are you reading now?
I actually hate to read (lol)

To keep writing, illustrating, and self publishing until someone notices my work or I get tired of it
