1. What inspired you to write your first book?
I always wanted to be a writer when I was young and have been writing since I was a child, but I only published after I was diagnosed with RSD and saw a pain management specialist who told me, after reading my logs, that I had the ability to write. Because of the RSD, I wrote small books, as I was able, on the subjects or projects that were within my knowledge or expertise. My inspiration is why I write. My artistic quality is why I write so many different genres.
2. How many books have you written, thus far? And which is/are your favorite?
I have written eight books and three magazines, so far. The children’s books are my favorite as they are very sweet and get a good response from the parents and grandparents. Plus, the children love them, which makes my day.
3. Do you have a set writing schedule or is it just as you feel inspired?
I write/create as I’m inspired; whenever the feeling strikes me.
4. What prompted you to start designing jewelry?
I have been designing since I was very young. I went to school for Interior Decorating when I was twenty-five. From there, I owned several shops and designed in all of my shops. Jewelry is just one of the items I design.
5. Where do you find the time for all that you do? Or what would be an average day in your life?
While running my businesses, most of my life, it was a daily routine. But, now, there is no set time or average number of hours a day. I suffer from RSD, Fibromyalgia and AFib of the heart, so my day and what I do works around all my ailments.
6. Compare your pre-RSD personality to your post-RSD personality.
My personality before RSD was vibrant, always smiling, happy, and on the go all the time. After my RSD, it changed my personality and my life. I was in pain 24/7, trying to live my life with the disease and all the emotions that come with it. My Fibro got worse and so did my heart problem. I wasn't able to live the life I was used to, which put me into depression. So, today, I am not the same person, but I am still living my dreams, just not as fast as I had hoped.
Thank you, Deeann. It's been a pleasure talking with you and learning how things came about in your life that led you to this point in time. You are certainly multi-talented and a good example of perseverance. Congratulations on all your success and blessings in your future endeavors.
