Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a nurse, who’s stumbled into a writing hobby. I’ve got one in the shelves.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
They Can’t Eat You for Supper is a novel inspired by true events. After my identifying my personal struggles with parental alienation, I started searching for answers to questions I’d never asked before. Support groups introduced me to a community of other parents who were crippled by an archaic, litigious system designed to tear families apart, rather than strengthen them. My heart wrenched at how widespread the issues were across the US and the world. It compelled me to make a difference. I started collaborating with state officials, in my home state, on how we could reform the local family legal system. From that arose my passion to educate others about what their sisters, brothers, and friends were experiencing. It’s so easy to sit on the sidelines and tell a parent what they should do, but that person is usually not the one paying the lawyers or taking time away from work to go to court. My hope was that someone would buy the book for entertainment purposes, and walk away with a new perspective.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m sure I will develop some over time. Authors are quirky and I already meet that requirement.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Wow, that’s tough. I have absolutely lost my soul in some books over the years. I guess the first one, I remember was Lovely Bones, by Alice Seabold. Words cannot express how much I loved, hated, cried over this book. It was truly one that made me want to be an author.
What are you working on now?
The sequel, of course. They Didn’t Eat Me for Supper.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook and Book Bub Ads.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Take time to learn the business of writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write the damn book.
