Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a therapist, coach, keynote speaker and author. This is my first book!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It’s called Riding Standing Up and it’s a coming of age memoir. I’m a trauma survivor so I was inspired to share my story in hopes that it would encourage others to do so.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My office is my laboratory! When I sit to write I’ll write for hours on end, until my hands cramp and my legs go to sleep.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs changed my life.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the follow up to Riding. It’s called Lather.Rinse.Repeat.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social media and amazon
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing! Get an editor. Keep reading other people’s work. Don’t take advice from family.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop. -Rumi
What are you reading now?
With or Without You by Domenica Ruta. Amazing so far!
What’s next for you as a writer?
