Publishing?

Before I took the road with Peace in the Storm Publishing, I tried my hand in self publishing by learning the craft that lead me to this one of a kind publishing company.

When I write my ideas comes from God and my words and titles come in flowing I can’t explain it but this is a talent that he gave me and I’m using it wisely.

3. What techniques do you use when you hit a rough patch in your writing?

It’s not too often that you hear from authors that they don’t run into a rough patch. But I’m one of them that don’t have that problem at all once the story starts it stays in my head until the end. Believe it or not my characters take a place in my head and want leave until it’s all done.

I have read different books on how to write mystery and romance. But to tell you the truth it’s didn’t help because it comes natural for me.

5. What inspired you to start Big Time Publishing on blog talk radio?

As a writer I notice that we as authors don’t get the attention that is due to us. So I started off promoting different authors by doing a magazine and the cost for printing was too expensive. One day I heard about btr and did my research to find out it don’t cost a thing to set an hour of my time to promote, promote and promote authors to the fullness. For me it’s all about promoting and getting the attention we deserve.

I’m a full time mother, wife and work full time for county of Los Angeles. By the grace of God he helps me juggle my time with writing at night and promoting anywhere I might go.
