Welcome to The Writer's Life!  Now that your book has been published, we’d love to find out more about the process.  Can we begin by having you take us at the beginning?   

Yes, it is my absolute pleasure to take everyone to the beginning.

 When did you come up with the idea to write your book?   

I have actually been thinking of writing this book for a few years.  My layoff from employment due to the Covid – 19 pandemic and being in quarantine served as the opportune time to write my book.

Who is your publisher and how did you find them or did you self-publish?  

 I did self-publishing through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.

Is there anything that surprised you about getting your first book published?  

 I was surprised at how easily it was to process once the manuscript was finalized.

Do you believe a book cover plays an important role in the selling process?   

Yes, I do.  As with most products the visual gives the first impression.

How hard was it to write a book like this and do you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier for other writers?  

 My book is autobiographical non-fiction so it was just writing from memory.  This will highly likely be the easiest book I write because I lived it.

 

This is my personal story of my trial with Domestic Abuse.  This book was not intended to sensationalize Domestic Abuse.  It is not to portray my abuser in a bad light or as an enemy.  Abuse has no prejudices.  Abuse may occur no matter a person’s religion, non-religion, race, economic income level, profession, culture, gender, or age.  Abuse may happen at any time and to anyone.  Yes, that means you too.  If you think you would never be the victim of abuse, you risk being gravely mistaken (pun intended).  Domestic Abuse may take place within any relationship type.  There is no formula, medicine, vaccine, proven theory, amount of therapy, answer or cure.  The abuser is not always someone that had ever been a victim themselves.  The abuser is not always someone that has witnessed violence or abuse.  By sharing my personal story, I hope to give you a better understanding of abuse in order to prevent this life trial to be your story too.
