What would you like readers to take away from your book?

-Forgiveness. Honesty in relationships and strength between families. How one must let go in order to let God work.

What did you learn about yourself in terms of your strong points and weak points while writing this book?

-That I have the ability to bring out a lot more in my writings. I can really dig deep within myself and the possibilities are endless.

Our theme for this issue, SETTING GOALS, do you have a system you use for setting goals for the year (calendars, vision boards etc.)?

-I like to use my iPad and list my tasks. Goals as far as being number one here or there or accomplishing a certain type of status through my work, I normally keep within myself. Kinda keep it on lock and key but have it placed in the back of my mind and every so often I am reminded of that goal and I like to see my progress. So my system is to tell no one. I keep it right with me and self-motivate.

Do you have any advice for setting goals for writing?

-Pace yourself! Trust yourself and motivate yourself. Don’t expect someone else’s goals to be the same as yours and keep small goals! Always look at how far you’ve come, not how far you have to go.

What advice would you offer to someone whose book is about to be released?

-Calm down! Lol Pat yourself on the back and get ready for the hard work. Promotion is the key to success. Writing the book is only half the job. Now you have to promote it.

What advice would you offer to someone who wants to make a career of writing?

-Understand that this business is tough. Some people are not always out to help you. You have to grind hard in this industry and understand that success does not happen overnight. You have to work for everything.

Who was the first author you ever met?

-I have not met any authors in person. I do however email lots of authors and they actually respond. Joy Deja King is one of them and I admire authors who do that.

What are you reading right now?

-Michael Connelly’s The God’s Guilty
