Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Amazingly, this my first book. I have always been asked if I have written articles and blogs by associates and peers. So, this is my first effort as a writer, and I am excited to bring information regarding social services to the forefront in North America and aboard.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
THE THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE HANDBOOK: A Study of Modern Intersectionalities of the 21st Century (Truth Alliance Series) Kindle Edition.
The book was inspired by series of article responses, case study analysis, and of course professional experiences that influenced my perception as a holistic social worker within North America. Likewise, studying internationally within the U.S.A. opened a world of possibilities professional for myself as a budding writer. Thus, I was encouraged by my academic mentors to share my unique and in-depth writing abilities in a book, and I jump towards the task. Writing professionally as a first-time author is an experience that comes with many challenges and successes. I am enjoying the experience of putting my written efforts out there for others to start a conversation on one’s place within society and how we as people can create means of progressive change.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to have several bottles of water when writing because I become thirsty. I also believe cold water keeps me awake and my thought patterns moving while writing long chapters.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Peggy McIntyre’s article called the invisible backpack. Her writing abilities helped me to see the beauty and difficulties of social change and modern intersectionalities within the 21st century.
What are you working on now?
As of now, I’m currently writing my second book in the therapeutic alliance handbook series. It will be geared to failed policies in North America and economic impacts on marginalized people of various backgrounds and cultures.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still new to the promoting game. So, I will have to answer this after I finally have gotten my feet wet after a few more months of promos and notary.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep at it; writing takes time and effort but, once your serious, you can put your thoughts to paper or in my case pages on my MacBook.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Ideas become plans, and plans become avenues of progress towards change. No matter if they are successful or not…its leading you somewhere you have not been before.

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?
The books of Psalms, Ecclesiastes, The Color Purple, and my book. The reason I would bring my book is that it would remind me that un-possible is possible with the right efforts and planning.
