Where are you from? What is your favorite book, music, movie, play?
I currently live in Denver, Colorado, originally from Illinois. My favorite books are mystery novels and as far as movies, I love the Lifetime Network Channel. I’ll watch movies all day on that channel if I could.
How do you spend your free time? Do you write poetry or sing?
I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids, going to the park, out to eat or planning a romantic get-a-way with my husband. I also love writing poetry. I call it my Free Therapy. And when I have some alone time, which is not that often, I like to drown my head in a good book.
Could you imagine your life without writing today?
I really couldn’t. I spend so much time typing story or/and poems on my computer, or writing in my notebook. I’ve enjoyed writing since I was a child. I am an only child and I was shy as a little girl, so writing was a very good friend at the time and still is.
How did you feel when you saw your book on the shelf for the first time?
I was very happy and enthusiastic. It was like a dream come true. I took pictures of the shelf my books were on, right there in the store.
Bring your 3 main characters to life. Tell us who they are and what you love about them.
Rahkel Williams is down to earth. She has a troubled past – involved in a prior abusive relationship, the death of her son, drug and alcohol abuse and unresolved issues with her father. She’s trying to move on, while at the same time searching for some type of meaning to her life. At times, Rahkel may come off distant to the world, and that’s due to a few self-esteem negativities and the guilt over her son’s death.
Why I love this character: Two things I really do love about Rahkel is her determination, and her unconditional love for her niece, Nevilla.
Darrin Miller – He’s tall, attractive and a Private Investigator and a personal trainer. So you know his body is in tip-top shape. He’s Rahkel’s love interest in the story. He brings out the best in Rahkel, and makes her believe in herself. He has his priorities together and is passionate about his work. He goes all out to help Rahkel in the search of what happened to her beloved Uncle Leon.
Why I love this character: Darrin is the man of many women’s dreams. And I love him for that; and also his handsome physique.
Janetta is Rahkel’s loud-mouth best friend. This woman is full-figured and has a charismatic and outgoing personality. She’s proud of who she is and never allows her weight to keep her from dates or having a good time. She speaks her mind and never skips a beat on telling it like it is. Her two favorite obsessions: men and food.
Why I love this character: Janetta is just plain funny and the type of friend everyone should have. And she’s a true friend. The sincere friendship she has with Rahkel is why I love her the most.
