When did you first begin writing? I started writing in the seventh grade. Aside from assigned essays and reports, I found myself making up little stories, at times. At the age of eighteen, I began writing short stories. After a while, I had accumulated several notebooks full of them. When did you finish your first book and what’s the title? I finished my first book in 2004. It was never titled nor published. My first official book, “High School Sweets” was finished and published on February 25 th , 2012.

When did you first begin writing? I have been writing for over 30 years, but never had the courage to try and get published until I worked in the décor department of a major retailer. I worked with a woman named Allison, (she passed away 4 years ago) who had just gotten her book published. She let me read her book, "Mercy Drops" and I told her I wish I had the courage to submit. Allison told me she would help me so in 2005 I became a published author. When did you finish your first book and what’s the title? My first book was published back in 2006 under the name of Colette Chamberlain. The title of the book was, "Footsteps Through Time." What genre do you write in and how did you choose that genre? I truly enjoy fiction because...well, my mind sometime goes where ever it wants and comes up with some pretty crazy things. As a child, I was always pretending this and that, making up far fetched stories and often daydreaming. I love science ficti
