Being a pharmacist and a mother of five children, I was motivated
to write The Pharma Heroes book series with the aim of creating an educational
and informative resource. I recognized the importance of making health
education accessible and engaging for individuals of all ages. With my
background in pharmacy and experiences as a parent, I understood the value of
simplifying complex health topics in a way that resonates with both children
and adults. By combining my expertise as a pharmacist and her passion for
promoting child development, I sought to empower readers to take an active role
in their health and wellbeing. Ultimately encouraging individuals to embrace a
proactive approach to their own health.
What age group did you write the book for?
I wrote The Pharma Heroes book series for both children and
adults. The series is designed to appeal to a wide age range by addressing complex
health topics in a simplified and accessible manner. By utilizing engaging
storytelling, I created a fun and educational instrument that can be enjoyed by
readers of all ages. Whether you're a child exploring the wonders of the human

How long did it take you to write The Pharma Heroes?
From start to completion, it took approximately 2 months to
write The Pharma Heroes. Throughout the process, I encouraged my children to be
actively involved, and their participation served as a great motivation for us.
By including them in the creative journey, we were able to foster a sense of
excitement and collaboration, resulting in a successful and engaging children's
book. Their input and enthusiasm added a unique perspective and helped shape
the content in a way that resonated with young readers. This collaborative
approach not only made the writing process more enjoyable but also contributed
to the creation of a profitable and impactful children's book.
Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when
writing The Pharma Heroes?
While writing The Pharma Heroes, we encountered some
challenges, particularly because it was my first experience with
self-publishing. However, we approached these obstacles collaboratively and
worked together to find effective solutions. Throughout the process, I
documented our entire writing journey, including the challenges we faced and
the strategies we employed, in my course "From Pills to Pages." This
course aims to assist aspiring authors in successfully publishing their own
children's books by sharing valuable insights and lessons learned from our
experience. By documenting and sharing our journey, I hope to empower others

bring their creative visions to life.
What do you like to do when not writing?
When I'm not writing, I cherish spending quality time with
my family. Their presence brings joy and fulfillment to my life. Additionally,
I have a passion for travel, as it allows me to explore new places, cultures,
and experiences, which in turn fuels my creativity and broadens my
perspectives. In addition to my writing endeavors, I am dedicated to adding new
books to my STEM series, continuously expanding the knowledge and educational
resources available to readers. Furthermore, as a healthcare professional, I
find great satisfaction in assisting my clients in achieving good health
through the practice of precision medicine. Guiding and supporting individuals
in their wellness journeys brings me a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Ultimately, these diverse activities enrich my life and provide a well-rounded
balance beyond the realm of writing.
