What inspires you to write?
I was inspired to write by the longing desire of telling my childhood story to my children and grand children. As I progressed writing my story it came very clear to me that it should be told to all and just maybe it will inspire other unfortunate child to never give up when their skies are darkened. There is always a better tomorrow in everyone’s life.
Tell us about your writing process.
I’m a seat of the pants writer who could hardly type but the strong feeling within gave me the ability to continue. I’ve learned a great deal since writing my memoire and I’m planning on my second book which will be fiction based on a true event.
What advice would you give other writers?
Put your mind to it and lay out your story in your mind or on an written outline and don’t be afraid to continue even if you come to a blank space. You can always return when your completed thoughts are guiding the way.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I was asked with a three minute notice to be a keynote speaker at an event with over 500 people in attendance. I was dumb founded at first be decided to tell some of my stories and the younger audience sucked up my years of experience and gave me three standing ovations along the way. When finished I was told that former speakers who were Politicians and Admirals could not hold the audience’s attention like I did.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think that book publishing will move exclusively into eBook form and paper copies will be obsolete.
