Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Well, as a mother, I have faced hardship while raising my son, due to lack of biblical knowledge. As a result of that, I’m committed and driven to reforming Christian education. I’m very much familiar with the struggle and frustration common to families wanting to train up their children in the way that they should go. So, as a literature evangelist, right now I’m pursuing my life-mission, which is to lead people to discover their identity in Christ through Christian education.
My faith in God is because of time spent with my grandmother. She was a voodoo bandleader who was converted and taught me, in particular, how to pray. She read the Bible in my presence and took me to church. I am grateful for her until this day. She was a happy and funny grandma, always singing and praising God. She taught me that too.
So far, I have written 7 books and 4 more are on the way.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is “Why Teachers Shouldn’t Gossip: A Personal Memoir.” It was an experience that I wanted to express in writing so that I wouldn’t hold grudges.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I sprint write. And then I leave the manuscript and come back to it after a very long time when I’m inspired again.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I didn’t have a particular author or book, it was just a desire to teach my preschoolers to read and simultaneous teach them about Christ.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on translating the “Jesus Loves Everybody” book series into French.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still looking for one. But I believe I just found it on awesomegang.com.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you have a desire to write, write. If you don’t have time to write, write anyway.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve heard is to promote my book on awesomegang.com.
What are you reading now?
Right now, I’m reading “Strengths Based Leadership” by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie.
What’s next for you as a writer?
My next assignment is to write my autobiography.
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?
If I were going to be stranded on a desert island, I would take my Bible, “Strengths Based Leadership,” and my “Jesus Loves Everybody” book series.
