Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
“Step by Step Back Surgery. A Recovery Guide: What your doctor can’t tell you” is my first book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
After going through back surgery I learned that information on what to expect and how to prepare for surgery and recovery is hard to find. Doctors have a different way of thinking about the medical procedures, what they share with the patients lacks the details and the perspective of a patient going through the procedure. I kept a diary of what happened every step of her journey from surgery through rehabilitation, physical therapy and beyond. I wrote the book so other people can learn what I learned and what I would have done differently if I then what I know now. It is my hope that others will benefit from information and it that this information will make surgery and recovery an easier experience.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love to read but this book was not influenced by any author, it was influenced by not finding anyone who wrote a book that would answer my questions.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a book about cataract surgery. Similarly to the back surgery, I want to know the information from the patient point of view. I want to know what to expect, step by step and not from the doctor’s perspective.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I found facebook helpful to connect with people who have similar interests.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you have something to share do not be afraid to write your first book. It feels good to be able to share something you know with many people.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Authors are a very supportive group. Encouragement, advice and bouncing ideas with facebook author groups have been very helpful to me.
What are you reading now?
Baldacci, The Last MIle
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am passionate about spreading medical information. I am working on a book about cataract surgery. Similarly to the back surgery, I want to know the information from the patient point of view. I want to know what to expect, step by step and not from the doctor’s perspective.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I am an avid fan of David Baldacci. Nothing better to get away and forget about your own problems then one of his books.
