Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have a passion for learning and reading about holistic health, spirituality, right living as member of the Earth family, and personal evolution. I enjoy writing, riding my bicycle, and taking walks with my dog and husband. I’ve written two books, Rescue Me, a fundraiser for animal shelters and rescues, and One Creation Under God.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
One Creation Under God is my latest book. I was inspired to write it while researching world religions, ancient cultures, and science to discover how humans are intended to interact with our Earth home and all the beings with whom we share it. Another reason I wanted to write the book is to offer a resource to animal advocates and spiritual teachers to use when speaking on animal welfare and the oneness of all.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I usually write on the computer. I tend to get down the facts and items of interest for an article or chapter and then organize it. I can research and write for hours if something is of interest to me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Henry David Thoreau, the Bible, Andrew Harvey – a lot of different authors.
What are you working on now?
After four years of working on One Creation Under God, I am taking a break. I don’t know that I will write any other books, but I have been writing articles for my two websites and newsletter.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The best website for promoting my books has been amazon.com. I have promoted them through my newsletter and social media. I have sold the most paperbacks at live events.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write about what you love and what you know. Stick with it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Read your writing out loud when you are editing.
What are you reading now?
Light fiction.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I will probably stick with writing articles for a while. I’d also like to speak on the material in One Creation Under God and share it with others.
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?
One Creation Under God, the Gita, the Bible, a book on identifying local medicinal and culinary plants
