Interview with Author – Shirley Enebrad

By Book Goodies 2 Comments

About Shirley Enebrad:
I am a mother who was lucky enough to have a little boy who filled my life and my heart for 9 years. Cory was 3 when diagnosed with leukemia. We spent five and a half years living each moment as best we could. Cory’s courage, short life and subsequent death made me the person I am today. I write books, conduct grief workshops, assist grievers via my website, blog and articles– just as Cory told me to. I am a retired TV producer/writer who loves to volunteer, play with my puppy dogs and go to the beach. Over the Rainbow Bridge (My son’s journey from here to Heaven), Six Word Lessons on Coping with Grief are available via Amazon, B&N, Kindle, Smashwords, etc. I have two more books in the works.

What inspires you to write?
I was inspired to write first by my love of reading, second because I am a descendant of Jack London (distant cousins), and mostly by my son’s dying declaration that he chose me to be his mother because he was supposed to put me on my path to help others not to fear death…especially parents whose children were dying.

Tell us about your writing process.
I create notes and then write free flowing on my laptop.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?

What advice would you give other writers?
The biggest piece of advice I have is to write for a minimum amount of time every day. Set goals. Don’t stop.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to publish with an ala carte publisher because I had several friends who had done so successfully. My friends who went with big publishing houses made very little money because the publishers took such a huge percentage.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I am hopeful that people will finally turn off trashy reality television and return to reading.

What do you use?: Professional Editor, Professional Cover Designer, Beta Readers

What genres do you write?: non-fiction, inspirational and self-help

    i had the pleasure of interviewing Shirley Enebrad after reading her book Over the Rainbow Bridge. She is a fabulous writer and a courageous loving mother who bravely shared the life and times she had with her son Cory during his 9 years on Earth.

    Shirley through Cory, has given us a fascinating glimpse into what’s on the “other” side of life after death and I believe that this gift Cory gave to all of us, makes death a little less scary and a hit more comfort(able).

    Cory left many gifts behind including his Mom, who went on through her own grief, to comfort other families struggling with loss.
    aloha Shifley and well done! …Frankie Picassi..author and Founder of The Good Radio Network.

    Dear cousin Sissy,

    I thought I knew everything about Cory & you! Either from you telling me in person or, from reading your book! I didn’t know that Cory chose you to put you on your path to help others! I’m sure it was in “Over The Rainbow Brige!” How did I miss that? I need to reared it!
    I know I’ve said this before, but I want to say it again since you soooo DESERVE to KNOW after ALL you had to endure with your BEAUTIFUL son, Cory! Cory’s story, his poster & your book are the reason I was FINALLY able to KNOW WHERE my Dad went & not fear going their either!!!
    I look forward to the day I too walk over the rainbow bridge & see BOTH of them again!!! Your Dad & our Mom’s again too!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
    Keep writing & encouraging & inspiring others Sissy!!! In Christ, Cindy 🙂
