Q&A

---

I always say that I want people to believe in me but there are times when I struggle to believe in myself. But I have just published a new blog post comparing people to houses. I am the house hidden away from the world at times. I sit for hours waiting to hear the voices of the people that I have lost. I know I can't but I still wait.  I am back, though, and, I hope I can stay this time. I want to be transparent, more than I have ever been but that is so hard. Right now I am working on revamping my Youtube channel with videos not just shorts because they really don't explain me. They are like a short book, a thirty minute movie where you have so many questions left. Stay tuned and most of my shorts can be found on Tictok. 

Let me just say this also. There are times when I find myself doing things I hate rather than what I truly love because the things I love require so much introspection. Sometimes I don't have it in me to delve into that part of my brain or emotions. I'm trying to be stronger and hold myself accountable.

 Certainly. These books were inspired by my own experiences of standing by my partner during his incarceration and the challenges we faced as a couple throughout that time and beyond. 

I wanted to provide a voice for the thousands of women just like me. Because we are also victims of the actions of incarcerated men. Our lives are also turned upside down when men go to prison. I am a former inmate wife and I share the before and the after. There is so much insight I have into this situation. I just want those affected by this to believe in me, with all my imperfections and know that I truly understand their plight. It was a painful journey for me because I went through so much during that time. His incarceration, sickness, death. Oh my God!  

I delve into the fear and uncertainty surrounding my husband's sentence.

This book is a roadmap for those couples that are now navigating life after incarceration. When I first stepped into this unknown territory, there was no handbook, no clear path forward. It was a daunting journey during and after his incarceration.

Yes, writing heals the soul. Writing has always been my solace, a way to transform adversity into something meaningful.

I have a trilogy that will be done and on Amazon in 2025. I was totally done with part one but then I saw that something very important to the story was missing. there was a person that needed to be in the story to make it better.  So I went back to that first book and I'm still doing the editing to include this very colorful character.

This trilogy delves into the life of a young African American man who grows up in the tough streets of the hood. He grapples with the loss of his father at a young age, relying heavily on the support of his devoted mother and younger brother. It's a gripping coming-of-age narrative that navigates the protagonist's journey through the trials and tribulations of his environment, showcasing his resilience and determination in the face of adversity. And after that, I'll just keep on writing because it gives me peace and creates the distraction of all the stuff we all have to deal with because we live in this world.
