Denise’s Motto: OVERCOME! The cross makes the difference!

PWH: You are an Author and Certified Life Coach, Ghost Writer and Motivational Speaker, How do you balance it all?

DK: I balance by not overwhelming myself with a lot of projects at one time. I try to practice and maintain ‘good’ scheduling.

PWH: What sparked your interest in writing?

DK: I know writing is my GOD-given talent, therefore, my interest in writing was sparked as a child. Poetry is my first love, and I remember writing poetry, as well as short stories in elementary school.

PWH: What message can readers gain from reading your books?

DK: I am a Christian, so whether I’m writing fiction or non-fiction, I make a point of including Christian values in my writing. In my last three novels, one message I included in each book, was the power of forgiveness.

PWH: Tell us about your latest book entitled: She Overcame Suicide? 

DK: She Overcame Suicide, is a book of short stories from women who served in ministry, but yet struggled in silence with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The ladies tell their stories of struggle how they came out. My goal for this book was to let ladies know even though you go to church, it’s still possible to struggle with suicidal thoughts, that you’re not alone, and more importantly you can overcome!

PWH: Do you have any upcoming projects? 

DK: Yes, I have a few projects in the making. I currently write for two online women magazines. One is a mental health awareness magazine (RallyUp), and the other is a Christian magazine (Faith Heart Magazine aka FHM). I ALWAYS have a fiction novel going on in the background. I plan on publishing a She Overcame Suicide journal. I also want to start a She Overcame Suicide Podcast.
