Can you please tell us about your book and why you wrote it?
It’s about my daily struggle with the serious, debilitating autoimmune disease Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I wrote it because a dear friend put it on my heart to share my story with others who suffer.
What were some of the biggest challenges you faced writing it?
Just telling my story. It was very painful reliving the scariest and darkest time in my life.
Do you plan subsequent books?
Yes, although I am not sure when at this point.
When and why did you begin writing?
I began writing when I started this book. I wrote it because I wanted to reach out to others who suffer and to let them know they are not alone and there is hope!
What is your greatest strength as an author?
I think storytelling.
Did writing this book teach you anything?
Yes, it taught me the importance of sharing your story with others. Unbeknownst to me, I reached several people in my own community who were suffering with the same thing. It just goes to show you you never know who you will reach through a book.
