Tell us about yourself.
I am a Christian woman first, then a military Spouse; a Mother; an Author/Entrepreneur and high school Teacher. I love to read, cook and spend time with my family. My family is currently stationed in Kaiserslautern Germany and we love it. I am also an Eastern Star and I am very active with my local chapter in Germany because I love to give back to my community. My husband and I co-own HortonJones, Inc., a small publishing company, and we pray that one day HortonJones, Inc. will be a multi-million dollar corporation

What types of jobs or careers have you worked in the past?
In the past I have been a Telemarketer, an Administrative assistant, a Wedding Coordinator and a cellular phone Customer Service Representative.

Who are your favorite authors?
My favorite author is Kendra Norman-Bellamy, I will stop whatever I am doing and read any of her books; she is amazing and so humbled. I also like Michelle Stimpson, Kimberla Lawson Roby, Lily Ratliff, the late BeBe Moore Campbell and many others.

What are your favorite books?
As far as my favorite books, I love anything by Kendra Bellamy as well as a book by T. d. Jakes, Naked and Not Ashamed.

When did you begin to realize you wanted to write?
I started writing when I was eight years old. I would write poems and short plays. Also at that time, I was an actress in my elementary school drama club and I was one of the writers for the club. I never stopped writing after that, I just tried my hand and many different types of literature, songs, musicals, etc., and I loved it. But, I was 24 before I wrote my first book.

Tell us about your journey to publication.

My journey to publication was not one with many bumps in the road because I knew what I wanted. I knew exactly what I wanted everything to look like and how I wanted it marketed, etc., so I quickly came to the conclusion that I needed to self-publish. Shortly after that my husband and I decided to open our own publishing company, HortonJones, Inc., and the rest is history.

Are you a full-time writer? If so, describe your day?
I am only a full-time writer during the summer months because during the other months in the year, I teach high school English. When I am writing full-time my day consist of exercise in the morning at around 7 am; then breakfast, a cup of tea or coffee with a bagel while looking out the window or sitting on the porch; and then it’s non-stop writing for the next four hours while my kids are at camp. After four hours I take a break and eat lunch, most likely a salad or something light so that I don’t get sleepy and then I write for two more hours, and then pick up my kids from camp.

    Great interview Renee and C. M. I will be adding your books to my to buy list. My ex-husband and I were stationed in Heillbronn, Germany many, many, years ago we would go to Kaiserslautern often for various reasons. The seven years I spent in Germany were some of the best years of my young adult life. Now a litttle or 60 that time is some of my best memories.
