Ma’Sitter looks like a great mystery thriller. Any plans to release similar books or turn it
into a series?
Yes, MA’SITTER is a four-part series.
So, we are just warming up with the first book.
What will
readers get out of your book?
I hope entertainment! It’s a
fiction book yet my main character Victoria Lewis is relatable to anyone who
has struggled to make ends meet. While working for privileged individuals or
super rich snobby corporate bosses. Every night millions of people dream and
pray for a fruitful life. Or to sing and dance like Beyoncé, act like Hallie
Berry, produce movies like Steven Spielberg or have an all-time best-selling
book, movie and so much more like J.K. Rowling.
What
inspired you when writing Ma’Sitter?
I
started writing MA’SITTER in 2011 and I buried it not long after. My motorcycle
accident on March 9, 2018 made me immobile, depressed, hopeless and bored.
Therefore, my love DeLeón and sister-cousin Toroda encouraged me to complete MA’SITTER.
Once, I started back writing I couldn’t stop. Writing and creating people (LOL)
truly makes me happy. I love it!!!!!!
I also kept hearing my 8th grade
teacher Mr. Lewis telling me you’re going to be a writer one day.
Side
note too teachers: MOLD AND ENCOURGAE OUR CHILDREN.
The
words of my 8th grade teacher Mr. Lewis at Chastain Middle School in
Jackson, MS have stuck with me all these years!!
When
did you decide to become a writer?
I was
ordained at the young age of 13. Summoned into an imaginary world where I could
be whoever I wanted. And speak my mind to whom ever I felt. It wasn’t until my
motorcycle accident that I pursued this career.
When
writing Ma’Sitter did anything stand out as particularly
challenging?
I cried as I wrote about the
character Zaka.
How did
you come up with story for Ma’Sitter?
Well, since you
asked! LOL
At the age of 23 I
started my own private care sitting service. Therefore, I have seen and heard
many things. Some of the people who signed my checks became the best
inspiration and motivation. And not because they personally encouraged me but
more so because they looked down on me. Therefore, I emptied my rage, feelings,
thoughts, dreams and crazy ideas into MA’SITTER.
What do
you like to do when not writing?
I am so ashamed to say this
but, riding my motorcycle.
I also love to bake, cook and
plant flowers. Seeing my flowers grow into huge, “FEED ME SEYMOUR PLANTS,” has
been a thrill when not writing a thriller. LOL
