Author’s Bio:
Latasha Kibler (Peacefulrose) is a freelance writer. She is aspiring to assist
in the empowerment and uprising of women all over the country. She is
originally from the Washington DC/Maryland area. She currently resides in
Columbia, SC.
DL: What’s the inspiration
for writing your book?
LTK: Watching my daughter and
seeing many other young ladies going through some of the same situations. I want to bring unity to women to help bring
us up and see our worth and I hope by sharing my truth it will encourage others
to know they are not alone in this.
DL: Is there any particular
author or book that influenced you in any way either growing up or as an adult?
LTK: Growing up in Washington
DC and attending Malcolm X elementary they encouraged us to read poetry by Maya
Angelou. She encouraged a child like me that needed a constant reminder “I am
somebody.”
DL: How long did it take to write
your book?
LTK: It took about 2 years
because it didn’t originally start off as a book. I was just journaling about
my life.
DL: Do you write with an
outline, or just let it flow organically?
LTK: I let it flow
organically.
DL: Do you listen to music
when you write? If yes, is there a theme song for this book?
LTK: No, I like to have
silence, it helps me think clearly.
DL: What are the keys to
success in marketing your book(s)?
LTK: Establishing a social media
presence is what I know to do for now. I am new to this so I am still striving
to figure this out.
DL: What advice would you
give to aspiring writers?
LTK: Follow your dreams.
DL: How about sharing an
excerpt from Coming Through the Storm?
LTK: Here you go.
I believe a part of me left
when he passed away. My mom had always said he died trying to defend his
brother Rodney, who was trying to leave a restaurant without paying. The owner
started hitting my uncle Rod with a bat or something, and my father pulled out
a knife to scare off the owner. The police arrived around the same time, and
the female officer yelled, “Drop your weapon!” My father did not drop it, so
she shot him three times in the stomach. My father died at the hospital.
DL: What’s next for you?
LTK: I am in the process of
starting my brand “Peacefulrose” meaning “A women at peace with one’s self” and
writing my next book.
DL: Where can readers find out
more about you and your book(s)?
LTK: They can find me at
