Divine Inspiration actuated the writing of Life Flashes: A Memoir from beginning to end.

7. When can we expect your next book?
Right now, I am enjoying interacting with Life Flashes A Memoir readers and Life Flashes: A Memoir potential readers. At a book signing event last weekend, a 12-year-old boy approached me and said he had looked up the book on Amazon and decided that he and his mother will enjoy reading it. A woman bought a copy of the book for a friend who is experiencing health issues. A man who said he does not like reading memoir read two pages of the book and decided to buy it.
8. Did you experience writer’s block while writing? What advice would you give to others who face it?
Writer's block is a natural part of the writing process; breakthrough is also a natural part of the writing process. When writers block emerges, this means it is time to step away from writing and focus on other matters, until one is ready to write again, whether or not writer's block happens frequently or infrequently. Accepting writer's block, seeking Divine guidance, requesting human counsel when warranted and embracing activities outside writing until one is ready to write again moves a writer out of undergoing Writers Block and into experiencing Writers Breakthrough.
9. Besides being a talented author, what are your other hobbies?
Ballroom dancing, reading, Scripture study, singing, housework and yardwork
