What inspires you to write?
Writing relaxes me. I am always thinking up something new in my mind at all times so I write to get it out of my mind. Inspirations come throughout the day from various things. I started writing about my own life in my book: Southern Adventures. Then I wrote Gwendolyn’s Wish from a dream. Then it seemed the other books just flowed easily.

Tell us about your writing process.
I used to brainstorm. Now I might research something off the internet but writing comes easily. I guess you can say I am a seat of the pants type writer. The characters are made up usually somewhat in advance. At other times I add some when the story calls for someone new or to make the dialogue more interesting.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Somewhat as I write I might talk to the characters or at least try to get into their head to see what they might be thinking.

What advice would you give other writers?
Keep working toward the end goal.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
After I finished my book I sent some directly to the publishers. Tate Publishing called me and offered me a contract, so it came pretty easy after that. I would suggest any new author to explore new options and see what each publisher has to offer. Some publisher require agents but I prefer not to use them.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It is somewhat scary due to some book stores closing but as long as people enjoy reading the book publishing world will continue. Look at what we have learned from books. We have learned about history, medicine, historic animals, how to manuals, etc…

What do you use?
Professional Editor, Professional Cover Designer

What genres do you write?
Young adult, children, historical fiction

What formats are your books in?
Both eBook and Print
