BK: When did you first realize you wanted to write a book?
Well, early on I knew I was good at writing. As a senior in high school, English was my favorite subject. I could easily write papers; whereas my school mates would moan and groan, I would get excited. I can not pin point exactly when, however, I know I have always loved writing. I just now have something worthy of writing about.
BK: What inspired you to write this story?
I was inspired to write my book because there are so many people suffering from cancer. It is one of the leading causes of death in persons under the age of 85. When I was diagnosed, I didn’t fret because of my faith. I didn’t follow the standard protocol. I combined standard medicine with holistic medicine and was cured. I didn’t loose a strand of hair, not one pound of weight, or take off one day from work. I was blessed during this journey and I wanted to share my experience in an effort to help others.
BK: What was the writing process like for you while writing this story?
The writing process was very therapeutic and energizing for me.
When writing about my story, I would always feel alive and full of joy. The writing process was a constant reminder of my victorious journey over cancer.
BK: What emotions did you experience while you wrote this book?
As I mentioned previously, I was energized. I felt hopeful, victorious, alive, joyful, and excited to share my story.
BK: Do you find writing a healing process?
Yes, I absolutely find writing to be a healing process. My first publication was written while I was recovering from surgery to remove the cancer. While I was going through my healing process physically, I was writing my dissertation. I would get up each morning with purpose and excitement to write about methods that would help my students succeed in higher education. I believe the writing process played a key role in my healing. I was focused on others and not what I was physically going on in my body.
BK: What do you hope readers will take away from your writing?
Throughout this journey, I have picked up many weapons to aid in my daily fight to remain healthy. I pray my experiences have been helpful to those who are in a battle for their lives. I pray that God provides my readers wisdom and understanding as they build their temples. I pray my readers are encouraged and believe without a shadow of a doubt Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
BK: Name one thing you've ever thought about writing, but were just too scared to proceed with the idea of it?
I am not afraid of anything, however, I am reluctant to write about my experiences growing up as a child of a Pastor. There is a name for us and it is PK’s. And with that name comes a whole lot of expectations, most of them are unrealistic.
BK: If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go and who would you take with you?
The humanitarian side of me would visit underdeveloped nations to deliver clean water. Not just any water; I would deliver alkaline ionized water because it has the potential to get rid of disease in the body. A body that has the proper pH is a healthy body; so I would want to make sure sick children would have access to clean, healthy water. Most people have no idea of the health benefits of drinking alkaline ionized water here is America and that’s one thing I would like to change. My book talks about the benefits as well as information here:

Thank you so much for taking time to share your story with me and my readers today. We wish you much success I the future.
