What was your inspiration behind the bookBlissful Lies? I wouldn't say there was any one source of inspiration behind Blissful Lies, but as an author, you tend to write what you know. What do I know about? Complicated relationships, unconditional love and passion, people you would do anything for, and wine. Ha! The rest is imagination and the love for telling a good story.
Did the adversity you overcame in your personal life have any impact on your success? Absolutely. After my first miscarriage, I was doing everything I could to get my body ready for the baby. Multiple fertility treatments per week, no caffeine, only the right foods, taking my temperature at the exact same time every morning, etc. It was exhausting! And then I miscarried a second time despite all of my efforts. When that day came, I thought I would have a nervous breakdown. And just like that, I stopped. Everything. The treatments, the diet, everything. I knew if something didn't change, this battle would change me in more permanent ways than it already had. So. I decided I would make a movie. After all, people did it every day. How hard could it be? And that's how my career started.
What other projects are you currently working on? Currently, we have tons of iron in the fire! I just signed with Sterling and Ross publications for my next novel, tentatively called Vindictive Grounds. And I am so excited! Their efforts have already been amazing, and we are all looking forward to the release of the book in the fall of this year.Other than that, we've enlisted the services of Wondermonkey Productions, which is a DFW-based production team, to shoot the book trailer for Vindictive Grounds.I'm also in pre-production for my first fragrance with my business partner and fashion stylist, Fanitsa Limberis. We'll also be launching a girls" clothing line, Kinsley Kouture, in early 2014.And finally, we're preparing to go into pre-production for the Vindictive Grounds film at some point this year.
