Interview

Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?
Life’s difficult times can make us stronger while allowing us to create the person we WANT to be. If only we allow ourselves to follow our GodWinks, learn from the challenges of the event, truly forgive and turn to our higher power when needed anyone can learn. 


Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
I have dyslexia and my major challenge is getting the text from my thought to the computer.  Instead of typing I dictate the first draft of my books to assist me in my writing.



How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
I have written three books in the Divorced and Scared NO More series.  Book 1 is Emotional Support for the Newly Divorced, Book 2 is Practical Advice for the Newly Divorced, and Book 3 is Dating after Divorce From Lemons to Zesty Lemon Sorbet. When people start the series they are afraid, angry and sad. But they end the series laughing and smiling while totally enjoying the new life they have built.  Therefore, the third book in the series is my favorite because people have processed from the divorce and are now ready to enter the fun and interesting world of dating. 



If You had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?
Nicole Kidman because she is a strong woman and her personal life events would give her insight that only people that have gone through a divorce and healing an understand.


When did you begin writing?
After my divorced in 2010 and with the encouragement of friends, family and my divorce attorney, I decided it was time to give writing a try.  Then the development of the website divorcedandscarednomore.com began.


How long did it take to complete your first book?
I began writing what was going to be just one book in 2013.  After I had finished my book the publisher recommended it be turned into three books.  Their suggestion was to have the series progress as people progress through their life after a divorce.  The dating information was only one chapter in the original manuscript, but the publisher was correct in the fact that people need more detailed information regarding dating.


Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
Tony Haynes did the poetry in my books and on the website.  Ever since we met he has been a wonderful friend that constantly encourages me to reach my highest potential. 



What is your favorite part of the writing process?
Finishing it and knowing that I have accomplished something some people told me I could never do. That’s one of my “wanna bet” moments.  But mainly when I have finished the book I now I have created something that will truly help others.



Describe your latest book in 4 words.
Insightful, soothing, humorous and perspicacious.


Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the future for your writing?
My family of origin has a very interesting family tree.  I have been interviewing my relatives to collect more details about our history.
