Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
A1. I am a spiritual medium, who has struggled with my abilities since I was a child. As I got older I started to hone my abilities, and became passionate about helping others to be the best version of themselves, in all areas of their lives – not just spiritual abilities. I am a wife, mom to two amazing kids and mom to two crazy labs. My passions are all things paranormal, plus helping empaths balance themselves and of course with an Executive Chef as a husband I’m a complete foodie!
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing your book “Ghost Stories 2”?
A2. My challenges with writing this book is balancing writing and doing my sessions. My sessions with my clients can get really busy and it is hard sometimes to find the time to write. I also had a hard time with this book because I decided to really open up and reveal what I truly see. I tend to sugar coat my interactions with ghosts and spirits but this time I didn’t. A few of the chapters I relived a few of the scariest interactions I had as a child and reveal how it really affected my life. Those were tough to write.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
A3. I don’t have a favourite author I read all genres; I just love to read. I do admire a few authors and their careers. As a Canadian I really admire Margaret Atwood, and her writing. I also enjoy the journey and writing of Stephen King. And recently I’ve started reading Harlan Corben, his twists and turns are a lot of fun to read.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
A4. That is a hard question to answer, so much of Canada is beautiful. I grew up spending a lot of time in Nova Scotia, I have lived in the Rocky Mountains in Lake Louise and I grew up and currently live just outside of Toronto…they all have their benefits. But right now one of my favourite places in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. I write about it in a few of my chapters. It is a very haunted town, a quaint beautiful town and wine country….it has everything.
Q5. What inspired you to write the book ‘Ghost Stories 2’?
A5. I truly love sharing my stories with people. I get so many questions about what it is like to be a medium and what I see.
Q6. How long did it take you to write your book ‘Ghost Stories 2’?
A6. It took me just over a year. I was traveling in order to get more stories for the book.
Q7. On what platforms can readers buy your books?
A7. Right now you can get the book on Amazon and my website. But I am currently in discussions to have it available in stores and other online stores.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Ghost Stories 2’?
A8. This is the second book in the series. When I wrote the first Ghost Stories book it was all about sharing how my life really is. My very first book A Survival Guide for those who have Physic Abilities was written to really help people who were struggling the way I did in my youth.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
A9. For me it is about writing in my voice. I want my books to feel like I’m talking directly to you, that we are sitting across from each other having a coffee and I’m telling you about things that have happened in my life.
Q10. What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
A10. To just start and to write every day. We can get stuck in the fear of how the book should start or planning the book out and not just writing it. As an author you can add and take things away, rearrange things, so it is important to just start writing! I am a pantsy writer – someone who goes with the flow, rather than planning each thing out. I start with an idea and just write!
