Thank you for this interview! I’d like to know more about you as a person
first. What do you do when you’re not
writing?
Let’s see. I’m laughing, dancing, listening to music, hanging
out with my hubby in and out of the bedroom, lol, running a church with my
Pastor husband, traveling, spending some time with my sibs, and teaching women
and couples how to make their sex life pop with fun, sizzle, and excitement!
When did you start writing?
The crazy thing about that, is as I became more “seasoned”, wiser,
and more self-aware, I would just write down certain experiences that were
meaningful to me. So, I never considered myself a writer in the sense of it
being my passion and heartbeat. When I decided to actually write to be
published, I found out just how much I didn’t know about being a writer and if I
even wanted to do it.
As a published author, what would you say was the most
pivotal point of your writing life?
The most pivotal point in my writing life was learning how much
I didn’t know about the writing process, and how much work was involved. When I
decided to write my first book, Secrets of a Good Wife: Sex Truths and Other
Marriage Essentials, I went to a 3-day writing retreat in Denver
CO.
I am from L.A.
and once I returned home, I was totally disillusioned and thought I would write
my book in 30 days. Ha! Well that didn’t happen. It actually took me 2 years from
writing and publishing my book and I tell you, I had a love/hate affair with
the whole thing.
If you could go anywhere in the world to start writing your
next book, where would that be and why?
Since my books are mostly about marriage and sex, I would
love to go someplace sexy and full of sensuality, like Tahiti
or Hawaii to get inspiration. I
would love to be enveloped in beauty of that type of vibe, sexy, sensual, seductive,
idyllic, inviting, what I call paradise, which is also how I describe sexual
intimacy.
I am sure being there would move something deep within me
and bring out something special I didn’t even know was there.
If you had 4 hours of extra time today, what would you do?
If I had 4 extra hours today, I would drive to Palm
Springs where my Hubby is working and surprise him
with a “lip smacking” lunch date.
Where would you like to set a story that you haven’t done
yet?
Italy.
One year for my birthday my Hubby took me to a place in Long
Beach that offered Gondola rides. I lived in LB for
years and never knew anything about it. We boarded the gondola and rode along a
path that gave us a taste and feel of Italy.
The gondolier sang to us and every time we crossed under a bridge, we had to
kiss each other. I loved that because it stirred the hopeless romantic in me!
Back to your present book, The Mis-Education of the Church Girl: Revealing Truths about Sex,
Sexuality, and Self-love” how did you publish it?
I self-published the original copy, but
needed to add more pop and appeal to the inside. Soon after, someone invited me
to a Facebook group where one of the moderators posted a beautiful flyer and a
journal she had designed. I reached out to her and we connected.
I hired her company, IBG Publishing,
and she not only redesigned and published my journal but also helped to expand
my brand, and increase my social media presence. I celebrated with a Virtual
Launch party, July 3, 2020!
In writing your book, did you travel anywhere for research?
Only to my bookshelf of resources and to my own knowledge
and experience!
Why was writing The
Mis-Education of the Church Girl: Revealing Truths about Sex, Sexuality, and
Self-love” so important to you?
First and most importantly, because it is a calling directly
from the Most High-God in case there’s any confusion.
Once I was given this incredible honor, I learned that for
years, women had been losing in their sex lives, suffering in silence, but also
crying out to God in their pain. That hurt my heart because I want women to win
in every area of their lives.
God heard their cries and has called Believers to the area
of sexual wellness. That’s when it became not only my goal and passion but also
my duty and obligation to teach women how to win in their sex lives.
In addition to being a Certified Sex Coach and Marriage
Advocate I am also a Pastor’s wife. I believe, as Michele Obama said in her documentary,
Becoming, God gave me this platform for a reason and I am not going to
waste it!
Where do you get your best ideas and why do you think that
is?
In the shower, lol! There is something about that water that
arouses my creativity. The first few thoughts and ideas tumble into my soul and
spirit then the waterfall begins! There are so many I have to select the ones that
speak loudest to me. Then I ask God to please bring them back to my remembrance
when I get out of the shower to write them down. And He always does!
Any final words?
I believe my journal, The Mis-Education of the Church
Girl: Revealing Truths about Sex, Sexuality, and Self-love. A Personal Journal
of Self-Discovery, will change so many lives, and sexual enjoyment for the Church
Girl will no longer be elusive but finally be a rich and rewarding experience
she will cherish and return to as often as her heart desires.
