2. What genre do you write? I don't like to chain myself to a genre. I mainly write romance with elements of suspense, but I really write whatever story comes to me no matter what it is.
3. Do you write erotica? No.
4. What made you decide to become a writer? I like writing. It's fun creating different worlds and getting to decide who exists in them.
5. Where do you write? I write in my home office. It's really nice there. I have plants, candles, snacks and coffee. I'm good.
6. How do you write with kids? I write mostly while my kids are in school. I only have two of them, and while writing is enjoyable, it's still my job.
7. How many books have you written? As of today, October 10, 2024, I've written 100 titles which also include short stories and novellas.
8. Have you thought about turning your book into a movie? Of course. I think it's every author's dream to see their book made into a movie one day. Do I know what steps to take to do that? Not at the moment.
9. Did you send your book to Tyler Perry and Oprah? No, I did not send my book to Tyler Perry or Oprah. I do not personally know either of them, and I'm pretty sure they're busy working. Also, I do not know any Netflix executives, I have no 'connects' at Hallmark Channel, nor do I know anyone who works for Lifetime Movie Network.
10. How long does it take you to write a book? It depends. Sometimes it can take a month. Other stories require more time - like the four months that it took me to write 500 pages for Zavier. The length of the story depends on how complex the characters are.
11. How do you write somany books? I get up, go to my office and work like any other job, only this doesn't feel like a job because I love what I do.
12. Where do you get your story ideas? From life. I'm a creative person. Since painting is too messy, I decided to do this instead. Stories come to me all the time. I have a notebook where I write down my ideas no matter how brief. Some become stories, some do not. (Most times, they do.)
13. Are you working on something right now? Yes. I'm always working on something.
14. Of all your books, which is your favorite? All of 'em
15. Who's your favorite author? Me. (lol) Okay, seriously, I used to have favorites, but I like such a wide variety now, I will not say I have a favorite. I love reading black literature, period.
