Tell us something unexpected about yourself!
At the retirement stage of life though not retired, continue to love what I do—40 plus Nursing career.
Why do you write?
Writing was a way I could use what I know from my nursing experience to help people.
Where did you get the inspiration for your current book?
Inspiration came from observations in day surgery where I currently work. More women were coming in for gut issues than men.
What do you enjoy the most about your genre?
It allows you to share information, educate/teach, allow/provide feedback.
How would you describe your writing process?
Under the publishing platform I was in keeping to tasks and not giving up was highly emphasized. I followed everything to the letter in spite of not being tech savvy. Any challenges I would seek help from support coach, family/friend. I took my time writing to ensure everything was proper.
What do you think authors have to gain from participating in social media?
More awareness of your book resulting in more book sales.
What advice would you have for other writers?
Never give up on your goal of having something to say through writing.
How do you select your books’ titles and covers?
Book title was selected from categories/genres of books already listed in Amazon. Your book title had to be unique from other books in your same genre. I used a paid service to come with a book design and a contest to see which book cover would be most popular.
What's your next step?
Keep promoting/advertising my book.
How do you react to seeing a new review for your book?
Happy because it adds to social proof for my book.
