Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?
The main message within the contents of the dramatic
storyline is one of self survival in the midst of a world of chaos and lost
trusts. One that takes the reader on a journey in which obstacles threaten the
very livelihood of one’s existence, yet through sheer willpower and faith there
is a new beginning..
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
The topic of the storyline is a very heavy subject, and
entailed revisiting times and things that are difficult to face… the first time
around, and in doing so, calls upon a strong determination to complete. For the
underlying message is stronger and far more important to share with others than
the will to pull away.
How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
I have written seven (7) books. Each has it’s own special
place in my heart. My prose, cookbook and word on the gospel were far more
entertaining for me as a writer. But the passion I have strongest within me,
lies within the RED STICK DIARIES - Series.
If You had the chance to cast your main character
from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?
I feel the heroine has to be a woman of strengths and
wisdom. (Book knowledge and street sense), a woman who could grasp the very
substance of this storyline. After viewing EMPIRE this past season, I would
have to say Taraji P. Henson is an actress of substance and inner perceptions.
She would surely be my first choice.
When did you begin writing?
I started writing in high school with my first publish
poem. Mrs. Brown, my English teacher was my strongest supporter, and encouraged
my further writings.
How long did it take to complete your first book?
Wow! Yes, great question! It took me 3 years to complete.
because fears of my own fears, and in accepting the realities that were so
great, once viewing the words that hit the page.
Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
(Smiles to self...) the last page! Actually, it is the
concept of leaving footprints behind in a completed piece.
Describe your latest book in 4 words.
A RED HOT SCANDAL
Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the
future for your writing?
I am, have always been an advocate for others who are
going through struggles. In speaking and teaching and reaching others who have
experienced life and need a form of expression… or outlet, I intend to allow my
writings to lead me towards other endeavors which create the opportunity for
motivating others to write their stories. I shall continue to let my pen dance
upon the page and continue writing. There are 4 other books due out this year
in the RED STICK DIARIES Series. And, another saga [entirely different matter]
already in the works!
