Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Shelly Lawson. I was born with a condition called hydrocephalus.
I have two books published, and 4 more that are coming out this year.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Like I said, I have 4 books coming out. The last one that was actually published to date, Mother of the Groom, is the second one in my Copake Lake Mysteries series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I go back and forth between typing and writing with pen and paper. It helps with my writer’s block.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L’Engle. Also, Where The Heart Is by Billie Letts. The Encounters of Short Arisings series by Denice Enoch Craton.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a book called The Solomon Conundrum. It’s about a teenage girl who leaves her foster home to find her birth mother.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I haven’t found too good of one yet. I’m hoping that this one is good.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep at it, no matter what. If you get stuck, I’ve also published a short report on 5 Foolproof Methods to Squashing Writer’s Block.
What are you reading now?
Julie and Julia.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have a project I’m calling The Solomon Conundrum that I’m hoping to release in August.
