Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have published one book, however I have been writing stories since I was fourteen. I love words! I learn one new word everyday and try to use that word three times within the day. Words spark much imagination!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Mystery Puzzle is an ancient, mystical, and magical being. The puzzle piece reached out to me several years ago. It has so many stories it wants to share with children all over the world.
The stories that The Mystery Puzzle tells deal with emotions and feelings in situations a child might encounter in their life or know someone who has.
The Puzzle slowly grows in picture pieces offering ideas and possible solutions helping the child figure out answers on their own.
The stories are as old as time, real in the moment, and helpful for the future.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well I like to eat Bugles when I write. Haha
I spend time absorbing all the natural beauty our planet offers us. I also observe and start conversation wherever I am in the moment. Seeing the world is beautiful art to my eyes, hearing the sounds are music to my ears, smells inspire lifetime events in my mind, touching things with my hands invokes feelings, and different tastes brings delight in my mind. I try to absorb everything in my life with all my senses and this inspires my writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love poetry, writing quotes, classic novels, books about family, romance, and life. So many talented authors across all genres. I read as I live life absorbing all that inspires and makes me happy. ♡♡♡♡
