My most recent book-Her treasured Love, came while I was writing my second book-The Path of the Chosen Warriors. I can't recall how it came except that it came out of the blues. But somehow God kept me from publishing that story next and allowed me to keep it until now-the fourth book and maybe it was so that I could add the main theme for the story which is, letting go of the past and embracing the blessing that God has given. Many of us lose those because we let the past rob us of seeing it or thinking we deserve it. Most times they come from something the Lord allows me to experience in order to share it and that's what happened with this book.

I don't get that seeing I am doing what I'm called to do. What I usually do before I write a book is pray, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me and help me to write the story the right way so it flows. In doing that everything comes as it should, even if I have to come back to the manuscript later to add more to the story.

Getting to share Christ in ways that Pastors can't. Having reader understand the will of Christ through character's which allows them to build their relationship with him.

The Holy-Spirit. He gives me the ideas for all my books, but most times he takes experiences I've been through to create those stories

Don't quit, but only write if it's a desire from within, not just one you think you want to do because others are doing and you think you want to try. we are all born with a gift. Make sure it's yours
