What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books? If I told you I’d have to kill you - just kidding. And for far too many of us, and for whatever circumstances, the one we loved was “the one who got away.” I’ve had one, and chances are, you’ve had one too! Sand Dollar tells of such a love – a love gained, a love lost, and through it all, a love that just won’t die. That’s because we all have experienced the loss of a loved one at some point in our lives. What authors, or books have influenced you?Īfter watching the movie THE NOTEBOOK nine years ago in the theater, I remember thinking to myself, I could do that. And if you’re ever lucky enough to find that one person in life who makes you love more than any other person could possibly make you love, you treat every day together as if it were your last. The lesson learned: never take your loved ones for granted. Seemingly solid and secure in our hands, the blessings we have in our lives today are easily shattered tomorrow.

Just like the sand dollar, life holds no promises. For me, the sand dollar has come to represent life, and how fragile life is. I wrote the book because I wanted the world to look at sand dollars through my eyes. Shortly after returning home from paradise, our relationship came to an abrupt end, as she disappeared from my life, seemingly forever. As I held it out to her, the sand dollar exploded in my hand, disappearing in the water around me. Ignoring the captain’s warning not to touch anything in the sea, I dove down to pick up a lone sand dollar at rest on the ocean floor.

The concept is based on an experience I once had while snorkeling with my soul mate in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it? Whether or not I ever achieve that kind of success, touching the lives of others through my writing has been the single most gratifying thing I’ve ever done. With a rating of 4.5 stars on Amazon, the book has received rave reviews, many of which compare me to my favorite author, Nicholas Sparks. Sand Dollar has won numerous awards, including being the winner of the Beverly Hills Book Award, the bronze winner of ForeWord Reviews Book Of The Year Award, a finalist in the International Book Awards, and a finalist in ForeWord Firsts debut literary competition. My debut novel, Sand Dollar: A Story of Undying Love, is emotionally inspired by my own personal life experiences. I write from the heart, believing in true love, love at first sight, and finding that one person in life you’re meant to be with. A true romantic, my life is defined by following my heart and pursuing my dreams, which is why I’ve become a novelist.
