When did you begin your love affair with the written word?
I've always
kept a journal since I was 11 and my entries always read like stories.
I can remember the first time I tried my hand at writing, I wrote a
short story about a woman who lost her son in a botched robbery, I think that I
was about 14 at the time. Can you remember the first time your pen hit the paper
and you began to write?
At age 11 and the story was about what my life would be
if I was rich and famous with long hair like Rapunzel.
Eric Jerome Dickey, Mary Monroe and even Judith Michaels inspired me to
write more and to write better. Who are some of your favorite authors who
inspired you?
Mary Higgins Clark and Jackie Collins. They both have a unique
gift of storytelling that inspired me to take my writing seriously.
You have children, and with children it is oftentimes hard to get a free
moment to breathe let a lone to pen an entire book. How do you juggle being a
parent and an author?
I'm a mother of four and time management is very hard but
my family comes first. I used to have it backwards thinking I had to be this
best selling author and everyone has to know my name and my family could wait
but now my attitude is the work can wait because without the love and support of
my family I am nothing.
You are self-published, how do you think that self-publishing has
changed the literary world?
It has allowed a lot of people to take their
literary fate into their own hands. Self publishing is a real commitment that
takes real hard work and dedication,so it has to be respected as such.
I know that I cringe every time I see a poorly designed book cover or an
author responding in a less than professional manner to a book review. What are
some of the things in the literary world that grinds your gears?
Bad covers and
bad editing. Your book like your child is a DIRECT representation of you. So in
publishing you must put your best literary foot forward.
A Write Way to Love is a short story that is about a woman who is trying
to follow her dreams to become an author, but she does not have the support from
her less than faithful husband. How important is it that your life partner
support you in your dreams?
Very important because if you do not have your
partners support you won't be able to produce the best product because you won't
be able to solely focus knowing the project isn't supported by the person you
love.
Tell me about your title, Fefe’s Freaky Tale?
It is my Erotic Flash
Fiction short story about Feona "FeFe" Walker a woman who has only one thing on
her mind - pleasure. Before her love can come down, she must select a man to
quench her body's insatiable appetite. NOTHING is off limits in her quest for
pure sexual ecstasy. It is a very sexually charged short story.
Tell us about your 2009 book, And Even If I Did?
And Even If I Did
tells a story of friendship and betrayal amongst three friends all on the road
to self discovery but ultimately the girls learn the lifetime lesson that
everyone wants to be a friend but many aren't truly capable of actually being
one.
This book has a happy ending which is something that we aren’t use to
in a lot of Urban literature. Do you feel that urban authors have embraced the
tragic endings?
I think a lot of authors stick to the formula of drama sells so
they tend to give readers drama but for me I enjoy happy endings so I try to
implement something positive in my endings. There's a lot of negativity already
here on the earth so why not write something different.
You are very vocal on your Facebook and Twitter feed; how do you think
that social media has helped you as an author?
It is indeed a blessing. I'm able
to reach so many and daily I grow my readership and clientele. I'm truly blessed
to be able to incorporate social media into my daily life that makes it
financially beneficial for me and my family.
Last question, what is next for Kisha Green?
The sky is truly the
limit. I will continue to expand my brand while creating a legacy for my
children.
