I write in a few different genres, but I love writing inspirational romances. I believe that God does not want us to be alone, so I am drawn to write inspirational romances to keep the hope of love alive for myself and women (and men) like me. I have written three romances so far, but I have so many more stories to share.
My purpose in life and my writing is to enlighten, encourage and entertain. I enlighten by sharing the love of God and that God desires for us to have, be, and do good.
I am influenced by real people who find a way to live, laugh, and love in spite of negative situations, unexpected problems, and bad decisions. I am a people watcher and listener. I warn people that they may see themselves in one of my books.
My favorite marketing technique is to attend book festivals and other marketplaces where I can meet the people who are buying my books. I also get me and my book in front of readers through social media and with book reviewers like yourself.
My life is an open book. I share so much of my life through my books. I would like for the readers to know that although I wrote my first book at the age of ten, I am a newbie. I need feedback to let me know if my stories are interesting.
Right now, I am reading the 12 Week Year, to help me with time management which is important for authors.
