Good morning, Jenny, and welcome back to Vision and Verse.
Refresh our memory, what have you written?
13 books. I can’t believe it. I’ve written non-fiction/self-help,
word searches, children’s books, and journals.
What is your favorite genre to write?
I’ve come to really enjoy writing and
illustrating children’s books.
Favorite food.
Mexican
Tea or coffee?
Herbal tea and decaf coffee
Pizza or ice cream?
Both, because I can’t decide.
Wine or beer or soda or what?
Sparkling water and plain water
Where would you like to visit?
Europe
Favorite musical artist.
Michael W. Smith
Do you listen to music when
you write?
I don’t. I prefer a quiet room.
What makes you laugh?
My nieces, nephew, and husband.
Favorite work of art or sculpture.
I don’t have a favourite piece per se
but my favourite artists are Monet
and VanGogh.
How old were you when you started
writing?
Grade 6 or earlier
Do you plan out your book with
outlines and notecards? Or just
write?
I tend to just write.
Describe your perfect evening.
Dinner out with my husband along
with a walk after dark. We
love our after-dark walks.
Where do you get your inspiration?
My life experiences and the Lord.
What do you do when you get a
writer's block?
Don’t force it. Take a break. Come
back to it later. Seems too
easy but it helps.
Who is your favorite author?
Francine Rivers for fiction.
Best book you ever read.
Silver Boxes by Florence
Littauer
Last book you read.
Marketing Matters by Wendy H.
Jones.
What would you do for a living
if you weren’t a writer?
Something creative, maybe an
artist or musician or perhaps
an art or journal therapist.
Who is the one person who has
influenced your personal life the
most and why?
My husband. When I met him, I
became the most me I’ve ever
been. He brings out the best in me.
If you could sit down and have a
conversation with ONE person,
living or dead, real or fictional, who
would it be and why?
I’d love to talk to my grandmother
again. She’d be so happy for
how my life has turned out and
she’d love my husband.
What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a
writer?
Don’t give up. Ever. And have realistic expectations. It takes
time to build an audience and get yourself out there. Also, don’t
be afraid to be yourself when you write. Authentic writing is the
way to go.
