Being that I am very active on social media, I came up with an idea called “Free-write Saturdays.” Free-write Saturdays was thought about off the strength of those individuals who have an issue with expressing themselves. In the beginning, I mentioned that I was soft-spoken. My first erotic short story book, “OH HELL YES!” was released on February 14th of 2021, Yes… On Valentine’s Day. Maxing out in sales, both books are very profitable. In May of 2020, I released UN-INVITED: The Suffering, a novel that sheds light on Mental Health disorders such as anxiety and depression. A write about reality which led to my nomination as Author Of The Year awarded by the Derrick Danzel Days Foundation, I’m forever thankful.


Some people come into your life to make it better, that’s exactly what Shiketa did, thanks girl! As a newly self-published author, I released my first novel “Let Love Happen” The Redemption in May of 2019. Shiketa took me up under her wing and while mentoring me I was able to publish my first novel “Let Love Happen” The Redemption. Soon as I contacted her, she welcomed me with open arms. An old classmate Shiketa Duberry had been my friend on social media for years. But when I tell you, Sometimes we overlook the people that are right in front of us to go seek validation elsewhere. Sadly, my messages were viewed and went without a response. I was willing to pay for their time and mentorship. I remember when I used to reach out to other known authors on social media just to inquire on steps of writing a book. I had to tell myself that my book will land in the hands of those whom it is meant for. Fear was my biggest issue and procrastination got the best of me. As adults, we go through experiences that become relatable so I was eager to write about it. My writing journey has been a bit bumpy but yet rewarding. And because there was no growth, I lost myself in the process.Īlright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally? The most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make was leaving my marriage after fifteen years, there was no growth. What was one of the most difficult decisions you’ve had to make? Hi Jolanda “Jaewrites”, the decisions we make often shape our story in profound ways.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jolanda “Jaewrites” Bostick and we’ve shared our conversation below.
