Smashwords Interview

What do you read for pleasure?
My favorite books are as follows:
Conversations with God, Book 1, 2 and 3 Author: Nearle Walsh
The Secret, the Power. Author: Rhonda Buyrne
I kept on asking myself questions why I was born into this planet Earth?
What are my talents? Why should I share my talents with the World?
The four books mentioned above, broadened my knowledge so much about my soul, my spirit and the Power that I have to create and be able to share my gifts with the World.
Am I supposed to share them with the world? As a retired teacher, I used the knowledge I have to develop LTSM to support Student-teachers, experienced educators as well as parents in educating their children.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I am a South African child born in Alexander Township in Johannesburg. I am born in a family that read books all the time and that motivated me to read childrens' stories at an early age. At Primary school level, we struggled to read Setswana Home-language and English well because, not so many books were available to take home with from school. This problem delayed most of us in class to acquire proper skills in reading, spelling and becoming creative as we had to write answers on comprehension assays in class. That is why I want to write books so that children can have additional books to read at school as well as at home. More books need to be written in every Language.
