Energetic, hopeful, friend
Tell us a little about your latest release:
My debut release is IN THE REARVIEW.
The blurb: When Meagan’s secret is found out, and she
realizes there is no way to outrun her habit of cutting, she tries to work
through it, and her depression, before she cuts too deep, making a mistake that
can never be undone.
Meagan's problems aren't like every other adolescent's no
matter how much she wishes they could be. Hers are worse. They've pulled her
down into the depths of a depression that is anything but normal. She begins
her pattern of self-harm as her depression threatens to drown her. She starts
with one cut that leads to the next, and the next. After starting, it's
apparent that there's no stopping, and Meagan spirals into a dark and cruel
world she doesn't understand. Meagan cuts to feel better, but that comfort
doesn't last long enough, and soon life is worse than it ever was before.
While learning to quit cutting Meagan faces life-altering
obstacles and grows up in the process. IN THE REARVIEW is a story of pain,
loss, confusion, and hope told through Meagan’s poems, journal entries, and a
splash of narrative.
I started the book in high school and worked on it until this
year, well after college. I got the idea because I knew several people dealing
with the issues in the novel.
What is your earliest memory?
I remember having chicken pox when I was young. I was hopping
around the house because I has them on her bottom of my feet and it itches to
walk normal!
What would you consider the greatest moment in your life?
Getting married to my best friend, in Vegas, has been the
greatest moment in my life. By far!
What’s the hardest thing in in life you’ve done?
The hardest thing I've ever done would have to be losing my
father at the age of 23. I was lucky to have such good supports in my life at
the time.
What have you learned in life so far?
I've learned to never quit. Good things come with
persistence.
Everyone’s favourite question: if you could invite five people for
dinner, who would it be?
Oh I love this question! If I could on is five people to
dinner they would be: Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Chuck Palahniunk, Sophia
Bush, and my husband. That would be one awesome dinner party!
