Our Interview

What was your inspiration for writing How To Get Out of Debt?

I got into debt when I was in college. I got approved for my first credit card and then kept signing up for more credit cards ending up with a total of 13 credit cards. I wanted to help others so they don't make the same

mistakes I did.

Tell us how long you've been writing and what made you get into the literary field.

I have been writing since 2002. I received a sales postcard in the mail asking to take a test to see if you are a writer. I passed the test and then enrolled in several writing courses.

When you wrote How To Get Out of Debt, how many hours a week did you devote to writing, including research?

I did about six months of research. I bought several books on personal finance as well as books on writing, marketing and publishing. I wrote every day for about 3 to 4 hours for approximately 6 months.

How do you keep a balance between family, work and writing?

It is very difficult, they are never enough hours in the day but I enjoy writing so I don't mind sometimes losing sleep to do it.

Have you ever experienced writer's block, and if so, how did you deal with it so you could begin to write again?

No, I have never experienced writer's block. I get ideas all during the day and night and have to keep a pad of paper with me to jot down my notes, sometimes I even write my notes on napkins.

Are you devoted to writing nonfiction books or do you see yourself writing in another genre at some point in the future?

For now I am devoted to writing nonfiction books. I have a lot of other ideas for books that I wish to complete, once I complete those I may decide to delve into fiction books.

Are you working on new material? If so, please tell us about what you are currently working on and when we can expect to see it on the market?
