Q1. Hello Ma’am, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hello! I’m an award-winning novelist of the Journals from the Heart series as well as two stand-alone novels, IN GOD WE TRUST and CALL IT KISMET (May 17, 2021).
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Whispers from the Heart’ book?
I was a high school English teacher at the time of writing the novel, so some of the challenges involved tapping into the emotions of my classroom students while creating original characters for the novel.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
I love Nicholas Sparks. WHISPERS FROM THE HEART has been referenced as being similar to his writing, which was a huge compliment to me!
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
I have driven across the United States ten times, so every bit of this country is special to me. But, I grew up in Connecticut and just moved back to New England (for the summer season), and I spend my winters in Florida.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you dive in and start writing a book?
For me, it all comes to me while I’m writing. When I wrote WHISPERS FROM THE HEART, and my other novels, the characters told me how they wanted to be written. I honestly didn’t know the endings until I was writing them.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Creating What’s Next: Gracefully’ book?
I co-wrote it with my mother, Valerie Ramsey, and we spent about six months writing it.
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find your books to buy?
Mostly on Amazon right now so that they can take advantage of Kindle Unlimited.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the cover and the title of your books?
Titles are always the hardest for me. I can write a book, but coming up with a few words for a title is always a struggle. The key is to not make it about what you want, but about what serves the book and your readers. The cover design phase I love because I’m also a photographer, so I love the visual aspect of it.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
WHISPERS FROM THE HEART alternates chapters between Madison, the protagonist, being in her classroom and in her personal life. Much like my forthcoming novel, CALL IT KISMET, it’s like there are two parallel stories for the protagonist in alternating chapters.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
Readers either LOVE or HATE the ending!! But, that’s honestly the response I expected.
