Bio:
Married at sixteen, a mother twice by seventeen, and thrice
a mother and divorced by twenty-four, Adrienne Thompson is no stranger to
adversity. Not your typical teenage mother, she went on to complete her college
degree and to earn her nursing license. She attributes God’s faithfulness as
the catalyst for her success in life. Now, having raised two children as a
divorced mother, with a third fast approaching adulthood, she is chasing her
dream of becoming a published author. Using the lessons that life has so
expertly taught her as a guideline (betrayal, abusive relationships,
self-esteem issues, witnessing the deteriorating effects of drug abuse), she
has created stories that will both entertain and inspire the reader. Learn more about Adrienne at: http://adriennethompsonwrites.webs.com/bio.htm
How long have you
been writing?
I’ve written poetry for most of my life. I did not begin
writing novels until 2009.
How did you get
started writing?
I always had a desire to write novels, but for years I
convinced myself that I couldn’t do it. One day I found myself dissatisfied
with where I was in life and believing that there was something more for me.
After much thought and prayer, I found my true calling in writing. Five novels
and 10,000 eBooks sold later, I’m much more satisfied with the direction of my
life.
What's the best
writing advice you've ever received?
I was once told not to be so concerned about word counts and
to write as the story dictated—to write until the story is finished. A good, complete story is more important than
meeting a certain word-count quota.
What inspired you to
write this book?
See Me is the
story of Olivia Moy, the widow of a beloved and very celebrated author. When we
first meet her, she is slowly losing the battle as she struggles to cope her
husband’s untimely death. Concerned about her condition, her son insists on
taking her to his home where she soon befriends his neighbor. It is not long
before Olivia begins to divulge the secrets of her marriage, secrets that can
destroy her husband’s legacy and her world. I was inspired to write See Me because of my experience with a
brilliant, yet mentally ill relative.
Are you working on a
new book?
I’m always working
on the next book, lol. I’m currently working on two books: Little Sister (a
companion novel to Been So Long—my second book) and Been So Long 2 (Body and
Soul).
What does writing mean in your life?
Writing means everything
to me. Even on those dark days when I feel like giving up or that I’m spinning
my wheels and I’ll never reach my goals, I am still compelled to write. It has
become second nature to me—a compulsion. I know
I was put on Earth to do this.
Where can people
purchase your book?
See Me is
available on Kindle, Nook, and Kobo. Paperback coming soon.
