Give us a summary of your book!
1. 16 Years 2 Life is my story. It is a Novel sharing my journey serving the prison sentence 16 Years 2 Life with my Mother.
2, Boots, Bibs & Barbells is my second book full of workouts, recipes, motivational quotes, health information and the stories of 6 other inspiring mothers.
What inspired you to write this book?
1. 16 Years 2 Life: At the age of 17 my best friend of 4 years confessed her struggle and we realized we had been keeping the same secret. I was inspired to write this book so that children with parents in prison could know that they weren’t alone and that they had no reason to be ashamed.
2. BBB: I was inspired to write BBB while balancing competing in body building competitions, pursing my Masters Degree in Physician Assistant Studies, working in the Air Force all while balancing life as a wife and mother. I wanted other women to be inspired to chase their dreams and know that they can have and do it all.

I haven’t written any fictions novels, but I’m not opposed. I love to read fiction, sci-fi, self help... I guess I just love to read and learn.

Do you have any other hobbies, or businesses that you would like to share?
I actually co-own a beauty bar in Cedar Hill, Texas.

She makes the hair products and I make natural soaps, body butters, oils and sugar scrubs. I even customize colors for special events.
