When did you begin to realize you wanted to write?
I have been writing in some form since I was a child. I initially wrote songs and poetry. When I was 17, I started writing a non-fiction book on teen pregnancy which I never completed. I am considering adding the non-fiction book to my library of titles in the future.
Tell us about your journey to publication.
After I completed Girl, Naw!, I considered traditional publishing. I queried a few agents and publishers as well. I did a lot of research and weighed the pros and cons of traditional publishing versus independent publishing. In the end, I chose to publish Girl, Naw! independently. I started my own small press in September of 2007, His Pen Publishing.
Are you a full-time writer? If so, describe your day?
I am not currently a full time writer, however I do aspire to write full time.
About the Book
Antoinette Walker has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Those that know and respect her think she has it all, a wonderful husband, children that thrive in school, and a counseling practice that is growing by leaps and bounds. When hidden things from her past begin to surface, they threaten to destroy everything Antoinette loves. Only God can give her the strength to continue to counsel other women, as she struggles with her own issues of forgiveness. Will her faith be strong enough to help her stand in the midst of opposition?
