Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a mom to an amazing, comical, dancing, baseball playing, wanna-be superhero. He inspires so much of my writing. I also have some furbabies. I am currently in school to finish my teaching degree. I have written two children’s books and one young adult novel so far.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is a children’s book called, I Have ADHD, So What? It was inspired by my son who has ADHD. I wanted my son as well as any other children who are diagnosed with ADHD to know that their diagnosis does not define them negatively but actually makes them special. It’s the second book in The Brayden Series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t really have any unusual writing habits. I pray about what I am writing, listen to music as I write, and then read my rough draft to my two best friends for their thoughts and opinion.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have been influenced by many wonderful authors and books. Harry Potter and the Twilight series are at the top of the list. As far as children’s books I would have to say The Kissing Hand and The Puppy Sister are at the top of that list.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on my next book in my young adult series, the next book in my children’s book series, and my very first Christian romance novel.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The Awesome Gang of course!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write from the heart. That feels like the best advice I can give because the best scenes in my young adult novel were written from tear-stained laptop keys. My second piece of advice is to write about what you know or should I say what you have experienced. We all have gone through things in life that might help someone else if you wrote it all down.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t give up. There are a lot of steps involved in the publishing process. You just have to keep at it and you will eventually have your book in your hands to share with the world.
What are you reading now?
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins and Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am currently working on my next book in my young adult series, the next book in my children’s book series, and my very first Christian romance novel.
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?
That’s a really hard question. I love all my books, but if I had to choose the Bible, a survival guide, Roller Coaster Love by J.S. Wilsoncroft, and Dream by Misty Powell.
