Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello, I am Kristen Becker! My non-fiction series FreeLark explores ways to return to simple, more emotionally sustainable and prosperous ways of living and thriving.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Freelark: The New Attitude of Financial Freedom is the first in my FreeLark non-fiction book series. As a young woman I thrived in the most simplest of ways. As I married and grew older I bought into the complex and materialistic ways of thinking that most of us can identify with. When I returned to a more simple attitude about finances and experiences my life opened up and my family flourished. This inspired me to write this book and teach others to do the same.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have a background in art so the beginning of my writing process is quite visual. I create maps and diagrams and charts to plan out and connect ideas!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
TheHidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto is one of my favorite contemporary books. Ekhart Tolle’s A New Earth is one that I reread often as well as A Return to Love my Marianne Williamson. My classic, all time, life long favorite book though has to be The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry as it is chocked full of life lessons!
What are you working on now?
My second volume in the FreeLark series is currently with the editor and pending a subtitle. It is a guide to changing your habits of thinking and practice to better align yourself with your true highest existence.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I find that creating a following by providing great, useful and relevant content via my own site is the best way to stay connected with readers who are interested in my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
write all the time! I have index cards with me at all times and jot down anything that comes to mind. At the end of the day I place the cards on rings for different content and book ideas and reorganize them as need be. When the time comes to work on that project I then have many thoughts and pieces of content to start from.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Make the most of every moment and every day.
What are you reading now?
Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore
What’s next for you as a writer?
well more writing of course but actually I am planning to start a free video series as well.
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?
The ones I mentioned above!
