Interview

1. Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I am a creative writer by passion, training, and profession. I am a Columbia College graduate with a degree in Fiction Writing and Marketing. I currently write short stories, novels, poems, and screen plays with experience in digital content strategy, content development, and social media marketing. I have developed, lead, and contributed to a number of custom campaigns for leading brands such as Comcast’s African American digital and social initiatives, The Toyota Green Initiative, General Mills’ Feedings Dreams campaign, and P&G. My writing strategy is to craft fiction from real emotion.

2. Describe your book Autumn's Child in 30 words or less.

A journey of lost faith, renewed friendships, family sacrifices and, sexual compromise. Autumn’s Child chronicles the life of a young lady’s battle through reality after her parents pass away.

3. What was the hardest part of writing your book?

Editing. Writing is the easy part; it is simply getting those feelings, characters, thoughts, and circumstances out of your head. The hard part is to make it make sense to someone beside your own imagination. To critique yourself and accept critique from others. Creative writing is exposing parts of who you are that other people don’t see and actually may not understand or appreciate. It is the manifestation of your imagination which so many people run from. For me, accepting the duty and desire to express what I felt for all of the characters in Autumn’s Child was difficult. I felt for them like I feel for my own loved ones.

4. What books have had the greatest influence on you?

When I picked up White Oleander by Janet Fitch I knew that I had a duty to write and express. I connected. Kite Runner, and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini was a life changer for me, I cried reading that book, and I don’t cry often. Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich has amazing prose. I realized after reading that book that life is a stream of poetic moments. And of course, The Bluest Eye by Maya Angelou, which is self-explanatory. The Bluest Eye is actually #1 on the list.

5. Briefly share with us what you do to market your book?

I am self-published and self-marketing, Autumn’s Child was published in November 2013 and I am using the digital space as the first step in my marketing endeavors. I began marketing Autumn’s Child via social media engagement such as Goodreads, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram promotions and ads. I use BookBuzzr to help promote and create a visual platform to explore Autumn’s Child. I have done virtual book tours and will begin book signing and readings in the Spring.

6. How do you spend your time when you are not writing?

I spend my time when I am not writing enjoying life. I am a very sociable person and I love to experience, to do, and to consumer everything around me. I love to travel, read, and learn from positive people.

7. What are you working on next?

I am currently working on a short film with my creative partner. I am working on another novel that is completely different than Autumn’s Child, but just as relevant. I am also gearing up to start writing TV, feature film and plays . I have a few ideas in the works now and we’ll see where it goes from there.
