Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m signed to Creative Flow Publications, I have 19 books out today. I’m from Florida which now I live in Georgia. I love to write and one day hope to turn my books into a movie or television show.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The title of my last book is “If I Did It Prove It”.
The reason for this book came from knowing someone that was bullied as a kid and the trauma that they went through and still deals with today.

No I don’t. I just write when it hits me too.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have always loved Eric Jerome Dickey and E. Lynn Harris

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m hoping Awesome Gang is the best website when it comes to promoting my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I would tell any new author to never give up. Always remember the love you have for writing and to never focus on the sales because it’s not always easy. Some books my do well when others my not. Mostly learn your craft and always be willing to grow and it’s okay to step out of your box from time to time.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
See it to the end. It’s not over until you stop believing.
What are you reading now?
At this moment I’m not reading anything
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hoping movie or television deals are next on the table for me.
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?
I would have to say any book from Coco Mixon or Stephanie Wilson.
Chocolate Brown Series by Coco Mixon
Be Careful Who You Love by Stephanie Wilson
We Belong Together by Stephanie Wilson
Any of their books will be okay with me.
