Kristin Davis

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an Educator and a Language/Story Work Coach. I have been working in the Education field since 2005. I have been a teacher, and tutor, and a director. I founded Language Ninjas to empower parents and children by empowering their language. I now guides parents in upgrading their communication with their kids. One of the ways I am empowering kids and parents is through writing books. This is my first book of many more to come.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is Abracadabra I Know What to Do! I was inspired to write this story while I was teaching Jr. Kindergarten. I had moments where I would get frustrated with myself and my students. As I began to realize the impact of the words I was choosing to use affected how I felt, I began teaching my students as well. We took situations that felt overwhelming and turned them around into empowering moments by taking breaths and changing our words. As a teacher, I wanted a book I could read to my class to help reinforce what we were learning, so I decided to write a book.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to chew on the cap of my pen when writing and thinking.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I was largely inspired by Peter H. Reynolds and Susan Verde who wrote books like I Am Yoga, I Am Peace, The Word Collector. I loved the simple, clear messages of their books.

What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the second book in the series of my Language Ninjas children’s books.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
When promoting my book, currently Facebook and Instagram are my best sites. I am learning about new and different ways to promote.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice to new authors is to trust yourself. Write that book. And reach out to people to help support you and give you advice along the way.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I have ever heard is to focus on my breath. Breath low and slow. The person that controls their breath controls the room.

What are you reading now?
Right now I am reading several books. I am currently re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I also am reading through How To Do the Work by Dr. Nicole LePera and Finally Thriving by Allison Pelot.

What’s next for you as a writer?
What’s next for me as a writer is to work on my next children’s book and build my children’s brand Language Ninjas.

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 books I would take with me to a desert island are:
It Didn’t Start With You by Mark Wolynn
The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer
The Book Theif by Markus Zusak
