Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written a children’s book, and have just finished a Young Adult Fantasy novel! I work at In Touch Ministries in Atlanta, Georgia, and my passion is telling vibrant stories that point people to spiritual freedom!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Wild Feelings is my last published book. It is a picture book about how to calm ourselves when our emotions get out of whack!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I ALWAYS chew gum when I’m writing. It’s the best way to occupy my antsy body while I focus!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Max Lucado, C.S. Lewis, and Andrew Peterson!
What are you working on now?
I’m dipping my toes into the Fantasy genre with a third book. It’s a lot different than a picture book, for sure!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I like to use Kindlepreneur’s list of book promotion sites to help me get the word out. That’s how I found you guys!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Craft books and youtube videos are great, but there’s nothing that beats sitting down and actually writing. Trial and error on your own part will teach you a lot more than someone telling you what to avoid! Go write!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
This too shall pass. In any scenario, this is very helpful to remember.
What are you reading now?
Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have beta readers for my YA Fantasy novel at the moment, and then I’ll be doing a third draft, which will hopefully be ready to submit to agents and publishers!
What is your favorite book of all time?
The Bible, of course, and The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard
