Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a wife and mother of two precious girls. I had struggled with health problems my entire life and it all seemed to be pointing to the food I was eating. The turning point came when my two young daughters were beginning to suffer from the food they were consuming. It was time for a permanent change!
Our journey to wellness began by having the whole family changing their diets from processed foods and sugar to whole real, fresh from the farm foods. There were a lot of stumbling blocks along the way, especially when trying to change two young children’s diets.
I have been successfully on a whole food diet now for 5 years and counting! I have just written my first book, How to Keep Real Food Simple, that tells the world how I’ve been able to maintain it!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first book describes what I learned during my journey into the sometimes complex world of whole real food. It was inspired by my own personal journey and the tricks and tips I learned along the way. I’m a simple person who enjoys the simple things in life and I feel if I can help someone else learn something an easier way I have a duty to share.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I think I write very simply. I try not to use too many words to describe my recipes and blogs. I think sometimes there is too much clutter, too many advertisements and too many words to describe simple things.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
When it comes to cooking and healthy eating I am continually inspired by the real whole food movement on social media. They are really generating awareness to a very important topic.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the second book: Whole Food Kitchen: The Basics of Bone Broth. It’s really a simple book that will go into simple detail on all types of bone broth and how to use them.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m new to all of this so I’d have to say it will be getting the word out on social media and through free ebook promotion sites.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
To all new authors, please remember that every author was initially a first time author! Write what you are passionate about and never give up!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Focus and be consistent.
What are you reading now?
The Kindle Publishing Bible.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m going to continue to write books about whole real food and try and encourage people to get back into the kitchen with food from the farms. It’s easy when you have the right tools in your bag!
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?
Bible, that should last me a long, long time.
