What motivated you to become an indie author?
I did I set my own challenge and look what I accomplished. It's my way of sayin MS you didn't win everypart of me yet. I have experienced motherhood, being a productive individual and had a good career until I lost my cognitiveness and had to quit working. So by starting to write I'm taking back a piece of my self esteem. I hope to have more books.

They are about fiction but they too decide their ending. I like reading about psssionate fiction and can come up with my own passions of my characters. I have a bachelors Degree thst got me no where because about the time i graduated theMS was taking my cognitive abilities.They can't explain how your brain rewires itself so before it goes on vacation again I am going to write..

Thus far I have actually written 2 sets of books from erotic sex in middle ages and the other set is also erotic but has substance behind them in normal day period which include a four book series. I want the fantasy. It is my idea of what I want when I leave this world. It is also argumentative about my beliefs about cancer and the medical field. I discuss cancer and the bible because I believed in miracles and didn't get the end results.I really did not have a lot of intercourse until my twenties and I learn't a lot about how I wanted to be seduced. My growing up in poverty at a young age .
