Loving the Word

 Here's a short interview I did with pretty-hot.com . Jewel Adams Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written. I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother. I have written over 30 books in different genres. I write interracial inspirational romance, YA romance, romantic fantasy, and children’s stories. What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it? My newest book will be released on February 1st and is entitled, “Finding Imani.” It is about a woman who has been a victim of domestic violence for many years. Events happen that change her life and she finally begins to heal, finding her real self again along the way. Personally, I know abuse, having been raised in it as a child, and I witnessed many things. I hope that this story will help others who still carry the scars of abuse, in all its forms. Do you have any unusual writing habits? I’m a people watcher, and I constantly create stories in my head about complete strangers. Occasionally, some become characters in...

 On Facebook, for the past month, I have been posting a meme a day in preparation for the release of Finding Imani . I figure I had better try to post a few here. Enjoy!

  Hey guys, I'm counting down the days (64) until the release of Finding Imani . Of all the many books I have written, Finding Imani is the one I consider most important because of the subject matter. With each round of edits I have made on the book, I've been impressed with inspiration and additional content, and I pray that Imani's story will help others who have -or are still in the process- of overcoming abuse. Abuse of any kind is damaging to the spirit, and the effects take a long time to fade. I know abuse. It was my life as a child, and it took a long time to heal from. Up until a few years ago, I was doing okay. Then something happened to me that brought my childhood back to the forefront for a long while. The perpetrator of this offense has no idea of what I am still dealing with from time to time because of his actions, and the institution I once thought I could trust took his word over mine and nothing was ever done. So, I started my healing process over again. ...

 I'm really excited about my upcoming book, Finding Imani , and it is my prayer that this story, written in verse, will help and uplift anyone dealing with (or overcoming) abuse in any of its various forms. Having been the victim of sexual and violent abuse as a child, then having to deal with it a few years ago in another form, I put my heart and soul into writing this story, and I want to help others understand that they won't always be victims. God can - and will - help turn victims into survivors. He can help us grow into the strong people we are meant to be. Though we may feel worthless, in God's eyes, we are priceless.
