What inspired you to start writing?
I always knew I’d be a writer when I was a little girl. I just didn’t know exactly what I’d be writing about! I started collecting inspiring quotes and ideas for my books when I was only 6 years old. I kept them in a little box, which grew into dozens of filing cabinets full of content. My husband said I would be buried in a filing cabinet. Thank goodness we can now scan documents into our computer! I've always loved clever wordplay, foreign languages, and different ways of communicating. Would you believe I actually liked diagramming sentences in my middle school English class? My kids think I'm such a nerd. They’re right. When I was a little girl, I won a contest in my 2nd grade class for reading more books than any other kid in the class, more than triple!

What kind of books do you write?
I write nonfiction, although I'm absolutely impressed with fiction writers who can create complete worlds and characters that come to life on paper! My nonfiction books are all about YOU and how to make your life even better! Many are self-help, but I also have religious topics.
