Q: Welcome to The Writer's Life, Darlene. Can
you tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you’ve been writing?
A: I love helping women find practical, healthy,
beneficial ways to cope with stress, and I also enjoy gardening, aromatherapy,
watching re-runs of Golden Girls and Disney Classics such as Beauty & The
beast, Princess and the Frog, and Lion King! I’ve been writing for about three
years.
Q: Can you please tell us about your book and why
you wrote it?
A: Women
everywhere are experiencing severe amounts of stress in all aspects of their
lives, on the job and at home. I see it
all around me every day and I know from personal experience that coping with
stress is a difficult prospect. Unfortunately many turn to
"solutions" that often do little to improve things and may even make
their situation worse - drinking too much, using narcotics, giving in to fits
of anger; these things only hurt you and those around you and rarely do
anything to actually address the situation that is causing stress.
I discovered from my own personal experience
that there are many positive and beneficial things that can be done to address
stressful situations, naturally. First of all, facing the situation and
doing what you can to change it is vitally important, even if it means making
long-term plans, long-term goals, and long-term lifestyle changes. That’s why I decided to write about natural
methods of stress relief, identify and expose the core causes and detrimental
effects of stress for women, and share the high-performance strategies and
techniques that women can use immediately to improve their lives. Natural methods that work to relieve stress
effectively and naturally.
Q: What were some of the biggest challenges you
faced writing it?
A: Finding the time to do it, from start to finish! Life is busy and demanding, and we rush about
from one obligation to the next, and some folks even rush from one crisis to
the next. Writing requires time and
dedication, which are often in short supply and can be challenging, but not
impossible. Your passion and inspiration
to reach out and help others with your message is a major driving force and
motivation to stay focused, and helps you set priorities where necessary to get
your writing done, from start to finish!
If the motivation is strong enough, you find a way to overcome any
challenge.
Q: Do you have a press kit and what do you include
in it? Does this press kit appear online
and, if so, can you provide a link to where we can see it?
A: I do not have a press kit at the moment, but
I will be developing one and adding it to my blog soon. I do have a Stress Management Club where I offer
exclusive tips, exclusive resources, as well as freebies and book discounts.
The link to the stress management club is: http://www.natural-stress-relief-women.com/stressmanagementfanclub
A: I am
scheduled to participate in a Time & Stress Management Workshop on February
19 and 20th, 2013. The
workshop is spread over two (2) morning sessions and is geared at helping
working women improve work-life balance by exploring effective time and stress
management techniques & strategies.
Q: Do you have an agent and, if so, would you mind
sharing who he/is is? If not, have you ever had an agent or do you even
feel it’s necessary to have one?
A: I do not
have an agent, but I do have a social media manager who is in charge of managing
my social medial promotions. I feel that
it is necessary to have a professional social media expert in charge of my
social media promotions and have therefore retained Personalized Marketing, Inc
(http://www.personalizedmarketingcorp.com) to manage my social media platforms.
I also
retained a virtual book tour manager, who is organizing virtual blog book tours
for the books with a chance to win a FREE Kindle. You can find the details of my virtual book
tour here:
Q: Did you, your agent or publisher prepare a media
blitz before the book came out and would you like to tell us about it?
A: Yes. I
retained a marketing company to prepare and submit a series of press releases
to show case the books. This was done on
carefully selected dates in November and December 2012.
1. One for all 10 books in order to focus on promotion
of the tangible series.
Q: Do you plan subsequent books?
A:
Additional books are planned for the future, but for now, the series is
complete with 10 books in the Self-Help Stress Solutions Book Series.
A: Absolutely!
My books
are available for purchase via amazon.com. My Amazon author page contains all
the relevant purchase details, just visit the link below:
