A.  I am currently in the process of publishing a new book, which will hopefully be out in the next few weeks. I am just waiting for the proof copy to arrive. Very exciting! I am also working on the illustrations for my third publication.

Q 4. how long have you been writing?

Q 5. What advice would you give other authors?
