The one that is recent released my idea came from the fact that I had a tiny crush on my sons PE coach boy was he yummy.. She hubby can't know lol. But with Trouble the one due to release on the 29th came to me out of no where. The two girls are based off me and my bestie Ashley and than next thing I knew all these twist and turns where popping up in it and I finished it in a month and all the beat readers have told me that this is by far my best work yet. My book I am writing now is a music themed and it came from my love of music. I am obsessed with music it is my soul and key to life. I do everything through music. So why not write a book involving the music industry!!.

A year ago I was indulged in numerous books. Finishing one and starting another. I stood in my kitchen one day looked at my husband and told him I could do this. I could do what I love which is wiring and letting the world see it. Even if it goes no where at least I can try. And here we are a year later and I am still loving very minute of it. Giving readers an escape that I once had. I wouldn't change it for the world. Xoxo

I just finished my upcoming novel Trouble... I actually just got it back from the editor to do the finale read through. That has consumed my time, hint why I am just now responding sorry. But anyways I am working on a music themed book. I am a music freak and want to see if I can make it something. Hoping to have it as a novella in a book with other authors but wrose case it'll be my own thing.

The perfect advice would be... Don't ever think your story is stupid or isn't good. 90% of the time you're wrong. I thought that Trouble would be a book people liked but didn't love and I found the more beta readers who read it feel in love with it and want to reread it. I think if you have an idea start writing it down if all else fails at least you tried. I have three books half way done but stopped because I felt as though they weren't going anywhere. That's okay at least you got those ideas out of your head and the awesome ones can start making that brain turn. Xoxo

Honestly the best thing is when people actually call me an Author, or when my mom and hubby say how proud they are of me... Also and probably the biggest one is when someone tells me that they connected to my book like they didn't think possible. It makes smile and feel proud when i get the positive feedback.

Sorry for late reply.. I deal with readers block by reading other author books, listening to music or yelling at my computer... Lol.. Stupid but I had writers black bad after releasing Making Things Right And trying to finish Making Decisions. I sat there for am hour staring at my computer asking myself "what is wrong with you?" Finally after reading a book my mind clicked back on. Hope that helps you! Xoxo
