Q & A

Tell us about your work in the Love is Color Anthology.

Love is Color was my brainchild. I set a goal for myself to curate an anthology with a diverse group of writers, poets and photographers. It was my first undertaking of a project of this caliber and I found it extremely enjoyable.

I wrote 2 poems for this anthology that represent the feelings of the colors purple and orange. I also wrote a sensual poem entitled My Favorite Color – a dedication to my husband. The short story I included was Parasol, a sensual look at unexpected love.

Who or what inspired the work(s)?

My poems were mostly inspired by the feelings of love and desire I have for my husband. We have been together over 20 years and he still manages to excite me. My short story was inspired by a dream I had on night. The next day I saw a photo of a young woman standing in the rain holding an umbrella. The rest is history.

What writer, poet or artist inspires you the most and why?

I am inspired by several writers, but the two I keep close to me when I am writing are Zora Neale Hurston and Maya Angelou. These ladies were phenomenal. I admire them for not only the adversity they faced, but the strength they had to keep on going.

What’s next for you?

I am currently working on Model Behavior, the second book in my Triple Threat Series. I expect to release it no later than April of this year. I also have a short story called Stormy’s All-Star Weekend in the Valentine Anthology – Love Struck with several fellow authors. It is also out on Valentine’s Day!

Where can readers find your work?

My work is mostly found on Amazon. however, I am looking into selling my autographed books on Etsy and/or my website soon. So keep an eye out.
