Can you tell us
what your book is about?
Samantha learns a valuable
lesson about self-love after Isaiah, her future husband, jogs into her life one
windy morning. On the rebound, Samantha marries Isaiah to later discover he has
a violent temper. He is physically abusive, lazy, and has a naughty secret.
Why did you write your book?
I wanted to
spread the message about marrying men who are bisexual or gay.
Can you tell us a
little about your main and supporting characters?
The main character is Samantha. She is an
educated woman who owns a business. She has it all together except the fact she
cannot find the right relationship.
Have you suffered
from writer’s block and what do you do to get back on track?
I have suffered
from writer’s block. In these cases, I walk away from the computer, or stop for
the day. I do not allow myself to get frustrated. Writing is supposed to be
fun.
What would you do
with an extra hour today if you could do anything you wanted?
I would take a
long nap.
What do you like
to do for fun?
I like to Extreme Coupon. The challenge is amazing.
What do you like the most about being an author?
I really love seeing my
books in print. It feels wonderful holding the final product in my hands.
What is the most
pivotal point of a writer’s life?
A writer has to decide why they became a
writer in the first place. The most pivotal point in a writer’s life is when
books stop selling, agents send rejection letters, and money is needed for book
marketing and promotion. This is when the writer has to decide whether or not
to continue, or move on to another dream.
What kind of advice would you give other
fiction authors?
It will not be an easy process. Stick with it even when no one gives you
a pat on the back.
