- Can you start by telling me a little bit about yourself?
I am a children’s book author and live in Southern California. I am married with two teenage children and three dogs, 1 of which has her own book series Goldy the Puppy.
- When did you first realize that you wanted to be an author and when did you publish your first book? How many books you have published so far?
I started writing poetry as a child. I knew I wanted to be an author since I was 9 years old. I published my first book, Ruby the Rainbow Witch: A Picture-Perfect Rainbow Day in 2018. I have 11 published books, in three book series.
- Where do you get your inspiration from and can you tell me about your writing schedule? Like how many hours per day do you spend on your books?
My inspiration comes from my everyday life. It could be from something I have seen, experienced, or sometimes an idea just pops into my head. I write whenever an idea comes to me. I usually jot things down or dictate into my phone. Most of my book writing is done at night when everyone else goes to sleep. I am a one person publishing company, so I work at least 10 hours a day in some manner. Could be marketing, social media, emailing, writing, researching, etc.
