Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I am a writer of fiction
and non-fiction, which includes freelance writing of articles related to health
and wellness. My first short story A Pair of Blue Skates was
published in a college magazine. I then went on to win an honorable mention in
a nationwide college magazine and to publish other short stories and articles
in anthologies and online. I have also written two full-length novels which are
not yet published.
Describe your book ‘WOMEN FOR ALL SEASONS’ in 30 words or less.
Women For All Seasons uses some of the stories of
women from the Bible to show the importance of trusting God in every season of
your life.
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
Apart from finding the time to write, I would say
it was making sure that all the details were accurate for the time period and
the culture I was writing about. Even though most of the content came from the
Bible, I added details to make the stories read like fiction, therefore I had
to make sure that all the information was relevant.
What books have had the greatest influence on you?
The Bible, first and foremost, then I would
say Maximizing the Moment by Bishop TD Jakes, The
Shack by Wm. P. Young, Lord of the Rings by
Tolkien, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Kite
Runner by Khaled Hosseini, The Bluest Eyes by Toni
Morrison and so many more.
Briefly share with us what you do to market your
book?
I make use of social media like Facebook, Twitter
and Linked In and I feature it on my blogs and on Freado. I have also done book
signings and a blog talk radio interview.
How do you spend your time when you are not
writing?
I work full
time as an occupational therapist, so I spend more time working than I do
writing, which leaves very little time for anything else. However, I do enjoy
taking long walks when I have the time.
What are you working on next?
Right now I'm working on a Christian novel about three women who live together, but they are keeping secrets from each other. And like the Bible says, whatever is hidden does come to light. I am also working on a short story which I plan to enter in a competition.
