No, I currently do not use a pen name and I do not foresee myself using one in the future.

What piece of advice would you give a new writer? 
Write from your heart. Be genuine and compassionate about what you are writing about. Be focused, patient and disciplined. And most importantly, take your time and do not rush the process. Everything will work together in God's time.

Do you think children at school these days are encouraged enough to read and/or do imaginative writing? 
For the most part yes I do. But I also feel that as parents we must encourage and foster reading and writing at home. As a child, I was a reader. You could always find me with a book in my hand. Like mommy, my son loves reading. And he's also picking up writing. It warms my heart! I'm so proud of him.

What is your favorite book and why? Have you read it more than once? 
My favorite book is "The Coldest Winter Ever" by Sistah Soulja. The plot and story line in this book is captivating. The storyline is believable and you really felt le you knew Winter personally. I felt for her situation and rooted for  her throughout the book. Yes! I've read this book a dozen times. It's a classic that I will keep forever.

Did you read a lot at school and write stories or is being a writer something newer in your life? 
In school, I did read a lot. You could always find me with a book in my hand..at the breakfast table, dinner table, in the car, late at night in bed when I should have been sleep. As a child, I loved reading. Writing is a newer found love in my life.

How do you come up with the title for your books? 
I start writing the book and as I get into the story the title of the book comes to me in a moment of "I've got it!!".

What made you decide to write this genre of books?
I enjoy helping others. I wanted to write books that were helpful, inspirational and motivational to people. Writing books in the non fiction category provided me the opportunity to do so.
