Tell me about your latest release or the book
you wish to feature? Genre? I’ve Worn Many Hats is the no holds barred
memoir of my unorthodox life lived in a manner regularly viewed as risky and on
the edge, frequently laughable, on occasion full of hardship, but never boring!
The candid account that spans decades of a long bumpy life evokes many
emotions; laughter, empathy, shock, admiration. As you read the first half, you
may find yourself going back, re-reading and thinking, “she did what?!” In the
second half of the book, you will discover what inspired me to make such a
drastic life change, leaving behind a long successful career in Human Resources
to pursue philanthropic work with the children of Honduras. All the books
proceeds are going towards my children’s programs in Honduras
2. Where
did the idea arise?
For years, friends
and colleagues had been urging me to write my life story. Then trying to cope
with the Covid lockdown that prevented me from returning for my normal 6 months
to Canada from Honduras, it seems as good a time as ever!
3. How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or
be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?
Since it was “my own story,” it was simply a matter of
jotting down notes as memories came to me. This could occur at any time of the
day or night! Paper and pens located everywhere!
4. How long did you take to write the book?
About a year.
5. Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing?
What is your Sun Sign?
I am a Capricorn. This was my first
book but I realize that I have been “writing” in various forms since I first
penned a mystery play for my Grade Four classmates. Throughout my life I’ve
written various newspaper columns, a couple of fund raising cookbooks and many,
many speeches, marketing proposals and other business related pitches.
6. Do you write in a number of genres of stick to one?
Since I’ve only written one book,
this question probably doesn’t apply.
