Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written and published seven of my own (six non-fiction, and one fiction). I’ve ghostwritten over 300 books, primarily non-fiction.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recently published book is Kill Something and Drag It Home: A Woman’s Guide to Smashing (and Surviving) the Work from Home Lifestyle. It is the result of being questions for years about how I was able to start working from home (successfully). I am the sole income provider for my family, which is pretty unusual in the midwest.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual writing habits? Well, I’m not much of a procrastinator when it comes to writing. And I do not believe in writer’s block. It’s not a habit, but I’m always told that’s unusual and the belief certainly doesn’t win me any friends. By and large, writers know exactly what they want to write, but they don’t want to write it because they’re afraid of how they will be perceived for doing it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
For this particular book I’d have to say Rules for Renegades by Christina Comaford-Lynch. I read her book when I first began as a professional writer while I still worked as a paralegal instructor and real estate paralegal.
What are you working on now?
Most of my time is devoted to writing or editing for clients, including lawyers publishing through the ABA, law schools, and colleges.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The best method I’ve found for promoting books is a cross between submitting to websites (both free and paid for promotions) and podcast interviews.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Sit down and write. Get off Facebook. Get off Twitter. Stop procrastination. We both know you are not researching.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Success is the best revenge.
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading The Secret, 4-Hour Work Week, and The Emotion Code.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Continuing to promote my current release as well as continuing to help my clients with their copy needs.
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 just not enough books. My home office has one wall that is entirely covered in bookshelves. I have another set in the garage as well as boxes and boxes full of books.
