Here's her reasons for the love and devotion she has for authors:

• Authors are stars because they light up a room with their intellectual brilliance.

• Authors uphold the lead because they are trailblazers, dreamers, and innovators creating new paradigm shifts in the thinking and emotional responses of their readers.

• Authors are truly superheroes because they “dare to go where no man has gone before,” and write their way into the hearts and minds of their unsuspecting audience without speaking a single word. Now that’s powerful!

“Authorpreneurs are a rare breed. They authentically combine two skill sets,

writing, and entrepreneurship, to create a space in the literary marketplace

for their creativity.” Sharon C. Jenkins
