I am a lover of the outdoors; if I can fish
or hunt I am a HAPPY COUNTRY GIRL. I love watching my girls grow up even though
there are times I think I will go crazy out of my mind. I am the first person
that will tell you impossibilities are achievable, but yet I am the biggest
chicken of all when it comes to changes. I do however believe that a new
beginning is better than an old ending.

5 .Can you
share your current writing (Any small Story/Poem) or Tell your Future
plan About writing?
I
am working on a book called “Sinfully Becoming” Here is a very small part of
it;
The death of my
family had consumed my every thought throughout my days. The nights bled
nightmares into my mind; my dreams were haunted by the grains of dirt that now
covered the bodies of my husband and children. A once happy house was now a
prison of fear and lonesomeness.
Every day I called
the detectives asking them about the deaths of my family and every day the same
reply would be told, no news as of yet and to be patient! I was too scared to
leave my home we still did not know who had murdered my family and I could no
longer leave my once safe haven for fear that this was not just a robbery and
we were just the chosen victims. To be told to be patient everyday was starting
to make me lose faith that anything was even being done to bring the murderers
to justice and the police department was losing my respect for them more every
day. How would they react if this were their family? Could they be patient as
they just sat back waiting for word of an arrest? Every day I was losing more
of my will to live, everyday ran into the next with nothing different than the
day before except the date on the calendar that seemed to rack on the months
with still yet no word from the police department. Not even a lead had emerged
yet!
I could not sleep
anymore and the person I had once been was changing into someone I could not
recognize anymore. My thoughts were growing dark and demented with hate and
thoughts of death. I would look at my medications and knives everyday wondering
if I had it in me to just end everything now so I did not have to live in fear
anymore. When I was not thinking about my own death I would think about the
murderer’s deaths and how I hoped that one day I could see their faces filled
with fear and agony. I could not help but wonder if they had any remorse for
killing children or if this was just an everyday norm for them.
I could not stop
pacing, I could not stop thinking and the front door was becoming more alluring
every day. I just sit and watch it and then I see myself open it to feel the
sun on my face. The breeze hits me and for a second I feel alive but as always
this was just what I seen but never had the courage to do.
6. Give five pieces of advice to a new writer?
Try to stay positive even when writing
seems like a losing battle.
When you do feel at loss walk away from
your writing, sometimes a new perspective is for the best even if it takes
months to find.
Start meeting people and creating a
following before you are ready to sell your book.
Create a page that you can show tidbits
of your book on while in the process of writing it. This will create more
interest in your work.
Always remember the easy part is writing
your book, the hard part is selling it. Plan ahead so you do not get
overwhelmed with negativity of slow sales.
7. Give five pieces
of advice to a reader?
Always read what interest you but yet keep an
open mind.
Remember that authors are humans and they will
make mistakes.
Don’t always look for known names because you
could be missing out on a lot of great authors and stories.
Although getting freebies are great when it comes
to indie writers it is a loss on their part and writing is just like a normal
job, you have to make money or there is no reason to poor your sweat and tears
into a book. Support them with their books that are also on sale so they have a
reason to continue writing, there would be nothing worse than finding the next
great author and then them disappearing.
Authors love feedback so be sure to do reviews on
the books that you have read and reach out to meet them personally. Readers
give writers a reason to spin tales between blank pages.
