Thoughts on The Girl Guide:
The Girl Guide is an easy-to-read, profound book that allows
teenagers to understand it's the world that is different, not the teenager. I'm
picky about the type of books that I introduce to my kids and I must say, this
is one of the superior ones." - A Reader's Refuge
"For those parents, librarians, teachers and counselors who have teens that are struggling to find their own identity, or even that enjoy getting to know themselves better. Definitely a delicious pick!!" - Novel Nutritious

"The Girl Guide is
a game-changer and should be in every girl's backpack." ~ Ali

Interview:
1) What inspired you to write a book to help young
girls find their individuality?
My first and primary
focus has been my girls. I want to do anything I can to help them embrace their
unique nature and grow up to be strong, vibrant women. Additionally, I have the
opportunity to work with young girls every day in my role as a school psychologist.
More and more I see girls struggling with identity, resiliency, and
authenticity. I wanted to do something to change that. The Girl Guide is a
result of that effort.
2) Is it challenging writing advice
books like this? Do you think girls will take the advice?
Yes, it is challenging
and boy, I HOPE they are interested in the advice! I know that every quiz,
worksheet, tip sheet and activity has been tested on the children I work with.
I can also tell you that I conducted many focus group online and in person as I
researched the book, so I am confident in the strategies presented.
3) How long did it take to complete The
Girl Guide?
The research took a
few months, and the writing took about a month or so. This book was hard for
me. I was going through a lot in my day job, and my writing time was suffering.
I am sure I drove my friends and family a bit crazy as I tried to get this book
written!
4) Do you believe that you've found
you're unique voice in this noisy world?
Some days, yes. I know
that I am a unique person and definitely march to my own drummer. As the years
pass, I have grown very comfortable with who I am and what my interests are.
But, like anything, remaining in touch with the authentic part of our nature
requires work.
5) What project are you working on now?
I am finishing up a
new parenting book titled Quiet Kids that I am THRILLED about.
After that I will be finishing Dominus, book #3 and the final
installment in the Requiem Series. Then...who knows! I have some special things
in the works, but nothing I can talk too much about right now.
