What inspired your book? 

I had a strong desire to plant the seed of entrepreneurship in young children using characters and storylines they could easily identify with.

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

Business ideas can be based on solving everyday problems, and money can be earned by those who can effectively and efficiently solve those problems.

What is your favorite scene from your book? 

Each book has different scenes, but I like it when the three characters--Daisy, Robert and Karim--work together as a team.

Which character did you have the most fun writing about? 

All three characters are fun to write about.

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

I wasn't sure that I could write a children's book and I discovered that I'm pretty good at it.

What aspect of writing do you love the best, and which do you hate the most? 

Best: Coming up with original and creative ideas. Hate: There's nothing I hate about writing.

Why did you choose this genre to write in? 

I believed there was a niche and need I could fill.

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

Promoting your book is more important than writing it. If no one knows about it, it won't sell.

What are your three favorite social media platforms and how are you using them for promotion? 

Primarily Facebook, but Instagram is second. I'm on Twitter but only as my Facebook posts are connected to it.

What three literary events would you recommend a writer in your genre attend? 

The National Black Book Festival in Houston (Oct. 22-24, 2020), Black Authors and Readers Rock, and the National Book Club Conference in Atlanta (late July/early August).

What’s the most interesting change in your life as a result of being a published author? 

Meeting people I didn't know before who've read my book(s) and enjoyed them. Also, people who contact me and tell me how much one of my books helped them address a particular challenge or problem they were having.

Oprah always asks, what do you know for sure? 

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Any worthwhile goal requires time and attention to achieve success.

Anything you'd like to say to the readers of SORMAG?   

Purchase a Kidz Biz book for the children in your life, be their relatives, friends, or children you'd like to bless.
