Where are you right now (LVR, DR, Bathroom) and what are you wearing? What an odd question..heehee. Ok but seriously I'm in my Living Room, and I'm wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Is there anyplace unusual you’ve found a story? No, no place unusual. I'm sure if I write long enough I'll come across one! Did anyone inspire you to write or was this something you always wanted to do? My children were my inspiration in writing my children's books. I've recently started writing a book for adults. It's inspiration actually has come from a mix of different people around me, and myself and what we have gone through. What is something that very few people know about you? Something very few people know about huh?? I've only just started enjoying reading books. I never liked reading up til about a year ago. What is your favorite material item that you own? The quilts my family have made for me. There are three. One my granny made when I was little. Two- the one my sister-in-law made for a wedding present and three- the one my mom made for us a couple years ago. To know someone takes the time to actaully make something for you, means alot to me. What do you do to unwind and relax? Turn up the music and dance! While you were writing, did you ever feel as if you were one of the characters? In the book I'm working on now, I do fins myself relating to two of the characters. Both for completely different reasons. What are your expectations for your book? I hope Jake & Jesus gets into as many children's hands as possible. I hope it helps them to learn that Jesus loves them and wants to be their friends. If you could leave your readers with one bit of wisdom, what would you want it to be? Never stop praying for God's direction. If he wants you to do it, and you never give up...then it will be done. When we listen to God, great things can happen! If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book? Well my latest book/s aren't published yet, so if I want something changed I can still do it :) But as far as Jake & Jesus...no I wouldn't. Do you remember how your interest in writing originated? I wrote a book for my son when he was a couple years old, just as something special between us. Which was about fourteen years ago. That was really the first and only time I had written anything until about a year ago. Now it seems like I have so much in there I'm not sure if I'll ever get it all out! Would you like to share a little about your current work in progress? Perhaps the first chapter of your book? I can't really share the first chapter being as I'm still just starting on it. I can let you know its a love story mixed with a little bit of suspense. As of right now anyway.. :) Where can people find you?
