Tell us about your latest book.
My book is all about giving you a kick start to kicking ass in
your own life with believing in yourself. Having experience with abusive relationships has led
me to live in self pity; being a victim living with limits. Instead, at any given time I can change
my way of thinking and start creating a new reality for myself that I was actually excited about.
Let me tell you how much more I love and appreciate my life! I'm going to show you how to
create a happier, more fulfilling reality for yourself. One that will make you wonder why you let
yourself think such negative thoughts as often as you did, instead of focusing on your
HAPPINESS and going after what you want. I spent many years letting my past block me from
getting where I wanted to be, until I decided I wanted to be in control of my own happiness.

My first book

traditional publishing just because for a brand new author self publishing at times feels limiting.
