Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a brand new author! Having spent the last 17 years teaching sixth grade, I resigned from the classroom a year ago to pursue my dream of becoming an author.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Reckoning: A Time Travel Thriller is my debut novel and it was inspired by the passing of my mom from a painful loss to brain cancer.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I spend most of my writing time sitting in my car waiting for one of my children in order to chauffeur each one somewhere else.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I feel like I gain experience and am influenced by every writer I read works of. Everyone has something to teach us.
What are you working on now?
Book 2 in The Reckoning Series
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am so new to being an author, I’m still figuring this part out!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up when it seems like all the next steps are unclear. Instead, find the best place to learn how to move forward. For me it was self publishing and learning through modules offered through Self Publishing School.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Sometimes, holding on makes you strong. Sometimes it’s letting go. It depends, is there hope? Hold on. Is there none? Let go.
What are you reading now?
Nightingale
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am learning the marketing side of self publishing and working on finishing the series that follows The Reckoning.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
