Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a person of many things but writing has always been a passion of mine. I have just completed my second book. It does not seem like a lot but my books are based on my life-changing experiences. I write non-fiction, self-help and inspirational content. I believe every situation I go through can be used to help someone else to let them know they are not alone. I am always willing to share my story to encourage, educate and uplift others.
I currently reside in Houston TX. I am a wife and mother of two boys. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing and spending time with family and friends. I am not too adventurous but I do enjoy learning about new and exciting things.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Waiting in the Furnace. I was inspired to write this book because I was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness Myasthenia Gravis. I wanted to share my story with others and the thought came to me to write a book about my diagnosis journey. I would tell people about it but I wanted people to feel the severity of what I went through. I suffered physically, mentally and emotionally while adjusting to my new way of life.
