We often use the words author and writer interchangeably, but both these words are different. A writer writes a book, article, or any literary piece. At the same time, an author is essentially the person who originates the idea, plot, or content of the work being written. At times, the author and writer can be the same person.

Book reviews can be more important than you may think. Reviews are great for any writer. It allows feedback from people who don’t know you and those who do know you to show support, but being honest. It is the only way you can improve as a writer. They can take many forms. Book reviews can be brief or long. They can critique and/or summarize the book.
This book was fun to write. I wrote this from the male POV. I did a lot of research on how males act and respond in certain situations. I was calling up guy friends asking them questions. When I gave them samples to read, they would tell me I nailed it. The reason I wrote it in male POV is also to challenge myself. I am a woman and experience woman emotions, but I wanted to step aside form that and see how much I could write a completely different gender POV.
After having self-publishing Positive Thinking and Life, Randomness, & A Little Eroticism, I felt good. To hold your book in your hand is the most amazing feeling in the world. I couldn’t wait to publish more books. I knew there would be no more poetry, but I also knew I wasn’t ready to write a full-length novel. That is where Betrayed & Scorned comes into play, a compilation of shorts that all go together. This you will hear more about next week.
This book is a bit self-explanatory with the title. There is poetry and short stories that encompass this book. I had a ton of poetry left when I stopped writing it. I needed to release it because there were many good poetry pieces could help people in many different aspects of life.
I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I have loved words since I first learned how to write in Kindergarten. Writing has been a consistent hobby turned career choice.
The reason I wrote this book of poetry was so I could help brighten someone’s day. I wrote these poems when I was younger and I always had this need to express how I felt, but I could only do so through writing. And when I did, I always wrote when I was sad.
I am excited to be sharing my books (fiction and nonfiction) and content with you all as a helping hand in bettering your writing and providing great stories to jump headfirst into! This is me as an author for personal and career purposes.
