What is your book, writing or book idea about?

     “The Once a Week Cook: 6 Meals in 60 Minutes” includes shopping lists and package labels. It is how to prepare 6 meals in 1 hour. Meals will be refrigerated or frozen and then basically heat and serve daily. As a working mother who has little time to put food on the table, my book will help others just like me.

     I have been an entrepreneur since childhood. My mom said when I was born she always saw me being an author. I’ve worked in food, TV, radio, traffic safety and education.

What is your book, writing or book idea about?

     “Four Days: A Thanksgiving Travesty” is a holiday book that gives a whole new meaning to being thankful

 Tell us about your background:

     I have been writing poetry and short stories since the age of 7. At the age of 12, I knew I wanted to be a published author. Thirty-three years later, I have completed over 200 song lyrics, four poetry books, 38 short stories, 11 screenplays, six fictional novels and one non-fiction how “not” to book.

     While I haven’t struck gold in the television or movie industry, I most definitely have gained knowledge and experience that, despite the rough spots, have motivated me to continue to move onward and upward in my writing career.

     I am the ordinary and typical 9 to 5 above average American female who does it all and wants it all. I’m mentally and physically capable of succeeding at any task. This is my time to make my dreams a true reality.

     “The King’s Men” and “It’s All About School.”

     “The King’s Men” is a fictional story which acknowledges struggles men may face daily, whether being drugs and alcohol abuse, gang involvement, suicidal thoughts, lack of motivation due to being unemployed, to name a few. By becoming a “King’s Men,” men can seek ways to overcome any obstacle.

     “It’s All About School” is an educational, inspirational book of poems which discusses such topics as teen pregnancy, being bullied, peer mediation and deterring from gang involvement, to name a few. Various topics are elaborated in the poems which youth may encounter during their school journeys, whether its middle or high school. The book also discusses how many youths are positive role models for others. The wonderful graphic illustrations included in the book were drawn by youths.

     Having such an extended background in writing and the human service field, the overall concept of my books and writings consist of helping others conquer their fears, seek hope and prosper in learning and achieving their life goals.


Tell us about your background:

     I founded Gracious Hands Literary Company. This business was formed to encourage youths and adults experiencing struggles and abuse, and who are in need of encouragement through literature and uplifting, educational, drama presentations.

     I organized and formed a drama group called The Creator’s Vision. This dynamic group performed my writings at various locations including youth recreational centers, schools, elderly residential facilities, The Salvation Army, churches, The GEVA Theatre and various other locations, normally without any fee or cover charge to attend the events. I self-published my two books, “The King’s Men” and “It’s All About School.” I produced the educational course entitled, “Basic Steps to Develop Your First Book.” This course teaches individuals concrete steps to self-publish a book.

     I work as a country program manager for Persons in Need of Supervision Mediation Program. The mediation services aid students in decision-making skills and add a fresh motivation for them to attend school and display positive behaviors at home, school and within the community.

What is your book, writing or book idea about?

      “For God’s Sake: Celebrating Life as a Sacred Transformation” is based on events leading up to and following the still-birth of my first born son, and the major life lessons I learned in transforming even a negative experience, such as this, into a positive step on my journey to achieve my spiritual destiny. This is for anyone who has experienced loss, tragedies or set-back of any kind.

 Tell us about your background:

    I was a Rotary Exchange Student and attended college in New Zealand. I worked from 1969 to 1982 as a model with national and international modeling agencies. A major challenge that shaped my life was the death of my first born son in childbirth. As a result of this, I was forced to surrender my own selfish desires to mother one child to a greater plan to mother thousands through their various losses by writing a book that would inspire them to celebrate life as a scared transformation. I wish to assist in leading women to freedom of spirit, for with the balance of female and male energy in the world, will come healing, peace, stability, spiritual growth and real love. I have a vision and dream to fulfill.
