Hi Ann Marie. Welcome to the
Writers4Higher family!
Tell me about yourself. Your book(s), your life,
your inspiration.
It gives me great pleasure to impart
knowledge into the lives of others. I wrote my novel, “Unforgettable, My Love Has Come Along”
to empower my readers, especially those who are waiting for a most
significant gift – a husband.
Writing a book was nowhere on my list of
things to do. While I enjoy editing, reading and writing, I never thought
of publishing a book.
So, what made me decide write a book?
Here is the answer!
After I got married, several of my friends and
relatives (some living miles away) wanted to know how I met my husband.
They knew that I had been single for some time. So, I had to share my
love story, over and over again. Of course, no one wanted to hear the
short version of my love story.
Six months after I got married, I was stretched
out on the sofa at home on a Sunday afternoon, still recounting my love
story. After hanging up from my call, it hit me…Write a book!
A long deafening pause ensued!
A book! A book!
Every reason not to write this book came to
mind. Yes, every reason. But, I knew that I had a story to tell. So, I took the matter to God and felt
the peace to proceed.
I am extremely excited
about my writing journey. My inspiration
comes from God, my family and fellow authors. I have met many wonderful people since
becoming an author. Now, I definitely want to write more
books. I am in the process of writing
another book. Unforgettable, My Love Has Come Along is the first
of the Circle of Love Novels. The other Circle of Love
Novels will also be based on real-life events to empower and inspire readers
through relatable characters.
Where do you see
your writing taking you in the future?
My writing projects must inspire,
motivate, educate, and empower others. My desire is to tell great stories
that positively impact societies. I believe in working together, the
exchanging of ideas and sharing of resources, so I hope that my writing takes
me all over the world to share at conferences, seminars and workshops.
I am always excited and thankful for the opportunity
to share with others. Since I wrote my
novel, I have developed a base of very wonderful supporters who cannot wait for
book 2 in the series. I love this. I enjoy the interaction with my supporters at
family gatherings, book signings, workshops, church, seminars, or on the
street. Our engagements can only be described as priceless.
How do you use your talents/time to help others?
I spent a lot of time editing and mentoring aspiring writers who do not know where to begin. I also enjoy supporting my fellow authors from Tallahassee Authors Network, Tallahassee Writers Association, Goodreads and other online writers’ groups.
My creativity fuels my enthusiasm not only for writing but also for training and the performing arts. In my community, I provide customized personal and professional development programs, specifically designed to satisfy the needs of individuals and organizations. While I enjoy all categories of the performing arts, I have a special love for dance. I have choreographed dances and hosted dance workshops for organizations in Florida, Maryland, and the Caribbean islands of Jamaica and Grand Cayman.
