Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is my first book, and it has been a lifelong dream. I am a wife, aunt, daughter, sister, and a teacher.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Shackles are Broken, You are Free. This book was brought about by my childhood and teen years filled with abuse. I was sexually and religiously abused, and this led to feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, anger, hatred, and thoughts of ending it all. I want to be able to finally stand up and say, I Won.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I can’t say unusual, but I am constantly thinking of things to write about. I can write in the bed, in the car, or riding my ATV in the woods.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Bible has been my greatest influence in writing this book. It helped me to finally see the lies I had been told. I like Jentezen Franklin and the books he has written too.
What are you working on now?
I have just finished this journey, but am already working on a new project. I am working on a series of Children’s books. The series will cover a young boy taking trips back in time to the Bible days to encounter Biblical characters.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am new to this, but have done much research. My kindle version is on Amazon, Nook, and eBooks. I have promoted it on my Facebook page, and plan to do more.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up on your dream.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Let it go and try to move on. Things can make you bitter or better.
What are you reading now?
Actually as a teacher I am reading the Magic Tree House series, and also The Spirit of Python by Jentezen Franklin.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully to see my book be able to help hurting individuals, and see them find healing.
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?
Wilderness Survival for Dummies, Survival 101, The Bible. 🙂
