Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an entrepreneur and after years of soul searching, I realized my true passion is to teach people how to overcome challenges in life and to treat each other with love and consideration.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
This is my first book and I am already planning the sequel to this book. As a child I was homeless and I have had people asking me for years to write my story. A Heart Without A Home is about the period in my life where my parents and I were homeless. My second book will be about how my mom turned her life around.

I wrote my entire book in one month, during National Novel Writing Month. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my local writing group.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dee Henderson and Karen Kingsbury are some of my favorites.
What are you working on now?
I am working on sharing my first book with the world and planning my second book. I also organize a group of volunteers in my city to feed the homeless in our community.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am still learning the best methods for promoting my books.

Write, write, write. Don’t wait for it to be perfect. That’s what editing is for.

Write everyday.
What are you reading now?
I read my Bible every day and have several ebooks on my phone that I rotate through.
