1. What is the working title of your book?
The working title of my upcoming release is The Christmas Secret.

2. Where did the idea come from for the book?
The idea for the book came from remembering how special Christmas was as a child. I wanted to create a Christmas story that was reminiscent of Christmas past, with love, traditions and a lesson learned.

3. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

That is a tough one. I would love to take some suggestions on this one, once the story has been read by a few followers.

4. What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?

Mikey loves everything about Christmas except one thing–deciding what he wants for a gift.

5. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

Self-published. Self-publishing was taboo just a few years ago and self-published authors were shunned by traditionally published authors. Now, many self-published authors are widely accepted in the writing community and publishing world.

With that said, self-publishing is definitely worth a try, especially putting words into digital format (e-Book), because who knows…one day a traditional publisher m

Google John Locke,  or Amanda Hocking for yourselves.

6. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

Just a few weeks. But then it took me two years to finish it between editing, illustrating and all the fun stuff that goes into writing a book!

7. Who or What inspired you to write this book?

Who inspired me to write this book is most definitely my children and grandchildren. Two of my grandchildren, Tyler and Mikey, became characters in my book, they are what brought the story to life!
