What is something few know about you, and would be excited to learn? I don’t think many people know that I was an author before I was a publisher. My first three books were fictional novels that have become increasingly popular over time. They are filled with spiritual wisdom, and I wrote them after I had an epiphany. Each of them has won an award and the most interesting of all, is that English was not a subject I was strong at. But, when I discovered the power of storytelling, I was hooked! I wrote my first book when I was 33. I have now written over 40 books and the series I am proud of is called the ‘Life Magic Mastery Series’, which consists of seven books and is available in print, eBook and audible.
