Do you have any tips for readers or advice for other writers trying to get published?
Getting published is not an easy task, my story is a news story, it is much easier to get a publisher for a real true story then a made up one. However there is obviously a market for many genre's of reading. What ever your story is...if it is not a good story you will not have as good a chance, it must grab the reader what ever it is. Don't give up on your dream and do not take no for an answer..I have learned it takes a lot of "NO's" to get to a "YES!"
Do you have a favorite author? If yes, what draws you to that person’s work?
Yes Dickens...MY childhood Christmas memories.
Can you remember one of the first things you wrote? What makes it memorable?
This is my first book..lol I have 5 more books behind this one. Before that I was involved in music.
Where do you gather most of the inspiration for your works?
Real Life..
Do you have any other interesting hobbies, pets or stories you would like to share?
I love music, have been singing since I as 11 years old.
I am a vocalist/composer by birth, found out I was a writer long after..lol.
I have many many Hobbies...I love food, I come from a family of chefs, bakers, cake designers, seamstresses, so I enjoy all of that when I have time. I love languages, people, cultures, travel..I work way more than I should to have time to enjoy those. I love children...all children and I believe they deserve the best of everything in life. I am a crusader of causes...that I believe in. I am determined and persistent in my journey to make sure the truth is told and demand that the justice be fair and constitutional.
I am a newlywed, my husband is a musician/composer and we have a cat named Bella, our children are all grown, we have 9 grandchildren.
I have found that I love writing books on many different subjects.
When I do write stories they will be for the most part all Non-Fiction based on a true story book. Because they touch me so emotionally....so I share, from a human interest and compassion side of life, which we all can appreciate, separate from the right and the wrong.
Lots of stories to share...they are in my next books...I will share my forth comings briefly in a live interview.
Favorite places to travel or visit?
Everywhere, I hope to get to Europe soon, I have always wanted to visit there, I have lots of family there I hear..
And now, before you go, how about a snippet from your book that is meant to intrigue and tantalize us:( Include links to were we can find your work)
Page 80
At the sheriff ’s department, we were introduced to Lt. Carole
Stewart. She interviewed Rheannon in her office and then she
came back out and asked to see Chrissy alone. After several
minutes, Stewart returned, her face dead serious.
“Mr. and Mrs. Heading (she assumed we were married already),
you need to come with me,” she said, and Gerald and I followed
her back into the office.
We went inside and sat down, and Stewart immediately started
asking Chrissy questions. She asked if anyone had ever touched
her where they weren’t supposed to, and Chrissy nodded. When
asked who had done this, Chrissy said, “Larry.”
Stewart asked, “Where did he touch you?” and Chrissy pointed
to her vagina. Stewart asked, “What did you do?”
Chrissy said, “It hurt. I cried.”
Gerald and I couldn’t believe what we were hearing. We would
never have ever dreamed about asking a four-year-old child such
a question. We knew Gabriele was having sex when Chrissy
was around, but we never would have believed she’d let her own
daughter be abused and then continue to see the man who had
abused her. I couldn’t believe a mother would allow a man to do that to her daughter. What kind of person was Gabriele?
Thinking there had to be some mistake, Gerald asked if Larry
had touched her while bathing, and Chrissy answered that Larry
didn’t give her baths.
“Did you tell anyone about this?” Stewart asked, and Chrissy
said she told “Mommy.” “What did Mommy say?” Stewart asked.
“She said if he does it again, she’ll hit him with a wooden
spoon,” Chrissy answered. “‘Again’?” I yelled. “She’s going to let him have the chance to do
it again?” We couldn’t believe she’d allow Larry the opportunity
to do this again. Why was she still seeing him and letting him in
her house? Why hadn’t she put him in jail?
Page 99
When you pay a lawyer $20,000, you
expect a damned good fight, and I don’t believe we got it.
Instead, I felt he did what he had to in order to satisfy the superficial
requirements. Could it have been because he was still, in ways
unknown to us, connected with Hattox and never intended to
give us our money’s worth? That question crossed our minds
several times. Then one afternoon prior to the trial, we went into his office
for a meeting. He shut the door behind us and said, “Have a
seat.” He walked back around his desk, sat down, leaned back
in his chair, and said, “I just got two phone calls. One was from
Sheriff Tomlinson. Somebody called him and told him to find a
body and pin the murder on Gerald and get him out of the way.
Tomlinson said he wouldn’t do it. The second caller told me that
if I wanted to practice law in this county, I’d better back off on
the Heading case. “
Stephenson would never reveal who the calls really came from,
but knowing what I do now, I believe that the prosecutor would
have been the only person that would have or could have made
that threat count.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. We wish you much success.
