It was my happy place, time. That’s where I got my love of books from
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favourite authors and genres are mixed. I love to read anything by James Patterson, and Dan Brown, Anne Rice. But some of my favourite books are Eat, Pray, Love and the Wizard Of Oz. But as a kid my favourite authors were Stan and Jan Berenstain of the Berenstain bears and Robert Munsch, The Paper Bag Princess among many others of his stories, I loved that the stories made me giggle and feel good. They were who inspired me to write kid’s books, hopefully, my book(s) will make kids feel the same way their books, made me feel.
