The Journey of Barbrah Rose (Author Interview)





The Journey of Barbrah Rose looks like a great Christian themed book.  Any plans to turn it into a series? 
I do not have any plans to turn Barbrah Rose into a series.  I’m currently working on my next project.  Many people are saying that The Journey of Barbrah Rose should be turned into a film.
           

What can you tell about the book?
 In the Journey of Barbrah Rose readers will see Barbrah Rose go through real life human experiences such as bad relationships and weight issues.  Despite being a full figure woman, Barbrah Rose will experience success in her career as a recording artist.  Eventually she will encounter Jesus Christ and find contentment.


What inspired you when writing The Journey of Barbrah Rose?  
 My love of music inspired me to write The Journey of Barbrah Rose. Secondly full-figured singers such as Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Mama Cass Elliot, and Lulu Roman inspired me to create Barbrah Rose. 


Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when writing The Journey of Barbrah Rose?
It took me 20+ years to write and get this book published.  I had once had an idea for Barbrah Rose to get fired from a female singing group because of her weight.  But Dreamgirls put the end to that idea. 


What do you like to do when not writing?
I enjoy reading, as well watching the Chicago TV franchises and This Is Us.  I also enjoy Cross word puzzles and Wheel of Fortune.
