Thanks for stopping by! What attracted you to the Inspiration/Spiritual genre?
I think the fact that I’m writing in this genre is just a reflection of my personality. I’ve always found it natural to motivate and inspire others and if you read the book you’ll see that it’s a trait inherited from my grandmother. So I guess its kind of natural.
Do you write in any other genres?
I did quite a bit of academic/technical writing in college but will only publish books that are inspirational for now.
What inspired you to write Arise and Walk: From the Sidelines of Life to the Next Level ?
