Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady, who is passionate about cats and helping cats get adopted from shelters. I volunteer at the Dallas Animal Services and, with the help from other non-profit organizations Awwdoptable and Cat Behavior Solutions, have been able to help save cats’ lives. I reside in Dallas with my husband and three cats. The Kid too Cool for Cats is my first children’s book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Kid Too Cool for Cats
The book was inspired by my husband and his negative stereotype of cats. I wrote the book to prove that cats are cool.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am not sure if they are unusual but when I am feeling stuck, I love to go to our nearby park and sit on the bench and observe.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Published by Chandler Bolt, Pete the Cat Books by Kimberly and James Dean
What are you working on now?
Learning how to market and sell my first book.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
That is a great question since I have just started the process I’ll have to get back to you on that.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Take the leap, it’s been a slow start for me but it is the most amazing feeling holding my first published book and seeing it live on Amazon.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just because you don’t know how to do it, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Strengthen your belief it will happen, and watch the opportunities and resources come your way.
What are you reading now?
Atomic Habits by James Clear
What’s next for you as a writer?
Trying to figure that out.
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?
