Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a single mother of a twelve year old son who lives in North Carolina. This is the first book that I have published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled Prayers of Motherhood: Prayers and Devotions. This book was inspired by how prayer, and my faith in God, helped me through some of the stresses and confusion of being a first-time parent.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Mot really. I view myself as a to the point writer. Prayers of Motherhood end of being only twenty-six pages because that is all I had to say on the topic.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have not read a book in a while, but I love the writing styles of Toni Morrison, Dr. Maya Angelou, and Stephen King. To name a few.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on a collection of children stories titled Bee Sting Pinch,
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be true to yourself. Write the stories that you want to write and in the voice that you want to write with.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To always be myself.
What are you reading now?
Because of my work schedule and other family obligations I have not had time to read any book besides the bible.
What’s next for you as a writer?
The next thing I hope to accomplish as a writer is to continue publishing books that will not only be a good read but will also spark conversations and discussions between people of all ages and all races.
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?
Oh wow! I can only bring four books? Okay. Of course I will bring the Bible, Toni Morrison’s Blue Eyes. Dr. Maya Angelou’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and Stephen King’s IT.
