What sparked your interest in writing?
I started writing at a young age. I was in grade school when I would love to write short stories. I loved using my imagination and being Creative. I also started keeping a daily journal and writing about everything became something I enjoyed.
What is the inspiration behind your book “Don’t Be Afraid of Your Journey”?
As a domestic violence survivor, “Dont be Afraid of Your Journey” was a part of my story as a victim. I wanted to share my story with others to encourage them. God has taken me through a lot and I wanted to share to help encourage victims and others as well.
Describe the process of creating and writing a book from start to finish?
The process of writing my books was not quite hard. I would say the challenges came when I needed to find a book title and also the length . My children’s books were the most challenging because of illustrations and really polishing your work. 4. How would you define your writing style? My style of writing i would say is called going with the flow. I do a lot of free writing and writing down my thoughts. After its written then i critique it. It’s a craft that shouldn’t be perfect but it should definitely be yours and unique.
What can readers expect from you next?
I have a Empowerment journal called “Thoughts of Beautiful Faces ” that focuses on discovering oneself that is complete but will be published soon. I am working on my third children’s book to be added to my book series called The Adventures of Princeton & Ava-Paisley featuring my children as the characters. That will be published by the end of November.
