my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Basically I've arrived at where I am now because I've never lost my ability to laugh out loud during the worst of times.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

Back in my 40's I was dealing with a situation that nearly killed me. Instead of dying I wrote about the trials and tribulations of my survival. The end result became my first novel called:

"Dancing With The Devil" by Jacqueline Brown

, which is now in the top 100 e-books on Kindle

It is available at all on line retailers. If you've ever dealt with addiction this book will certainly hit home. It's about tying a knot at the end of a rope and holding on for dear life.

The Sequel "Recovery's A Bitch...as if menopause alone wasn't bad enough!" is also in the top 100 e-books on Kindle.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

First of all I will still have my beautiful dark hair because grey is not an option for me. Secondly, I will have several more novels under my belt and will make enough money so that my husband can finally relax. Thirdly, I will probably have grandchildren by then and I will enjoy them with my children.

Size Matters…

Other than my clothes always having to compensate for said ‘grande’ boobs so those designer tops don’t make me look like I’m in a constant state of pregnancy, the biggest problem I’ve encountered is, I always seem to have a bruise on the inside of my upper right arm, which I firmly believe, is caused by brushing my teeth twice a day without a bra on.read more »

Exercise is…

…sometimes like corporal punishment. We brutalize our poor little muscles mercilessly in hopes they’ll shape up as fast as possible. We stress and strain them, often times beyond their capacity, and then wonder why they seek revenge the day after or the day after that.read more »
