Awesome Authors Questionnaire

If you have a Twitter, what is your username? If you do not have a Twitter, do I have your permission to tweet about you as an #AwesomeAuthor?

*My username on twitter is @AuthorFirstLady

What genre do you typically write? Are there other genres you would like to branch out into?

*My first two novels fall within the creative nonfiction genre. I plan to eventually branch out into fiction.

If you are already published, what books do you consider to be your “best” works so far?

*Not yet published

If you are not yet published, what book are you hoping to be your first work published and why?

*My first book to be published is ~D.I.V.A.~ Domestically Involved In Violent Affairs. This storyline behind this novel is based on men that are verbally and physically abused by women that experienced family violence in their adolescent years. This is a hushed taboo subject that should be fairly addressed. My goal is to change the way men/women in relationships love each other.

What are you currently working on?

*I'm currently working on my first novel based on a true story, ~D.I.V.A.~ Domestically Involved In Violent Affairs.

What is your favorite part of writing? Least favorite part?

*My favorite part of writing is the mental escape I experience. Its like a mental getaway in which I can become who I want,whenever I want, while living out my fantasies. My least favorite part of writing is stumbling across writers block in the middle of a mass word mental flow.

What is most rewarding thing you have found from writing?

* "I write to discover what I think. I write to calm my anguish nerves. I write to see the inner peace within me. I write. It's my therapy" Author Tiffanie Minnis.

How did you come to be an author/writer?

*I've been writing music since my junior year in high school. I was and am really good at it. I've done a few ghost writing projects for friends of mine that are in the music business. I recently transitioned over to the literary side because it allows to be much more creative while sharing a different poetic side of me.

What genre(s) do you like to read?

*Fiction, Poetry and Self-Help books

Have any authors influenced you over the years?

*Definitley! Maya Angelou and Napoleon Hill

Who are some of your favorite authors?

*Maya Angelou, Napoleon Hill, Zane, James Allen, Mary Monroe... The list goes on but I will say that these are my top authors.

If there was only one book you could suggest for someone to read, what book would that be and why?

*Only one???? Okay, that's a tough one but it would definitely have to be Napoleon Hill: Think and Grow Rich. It's a great read that teaches us, if applied, how to repeatedly tap into our "Infinite Intelligence" by using positive thoughts to attract wealth and happiness.

Tell us something random about yourself…

*I love Thai food and bananas in my Frosted Flakes ;-)

Is there anything else that people should know about you and/or your writing?

*I love to think outside the box and write about things that triggers a dense shock treatment. Writing, for me, is about getting people to positively change the way they think and introducing them to the unknown through words. Blessings!
