Today's Author Spotlight is on Jamie Dossie.
Jamie Dossie is the oldest daughter of Deborah and James Pearson. Jamie was born and raised in the Chicago Illinois. She fell in love with urban novels, after her mom gave her a book by Terry McMillian called-Mama. After reading that book she began to read another and at that very moment she knew that these were the kind of books that she wanted to write someday.
After the passing of her mom she began to write notebooks full of poems and short stories. She knew it was a way to cope with her pain, but at the same time she was building her writing skills. Growing up where people didn’t express their dreams she shied away from telling people that she wanted to be a Well-known Published Author someday.
Jamie is always looking to improve her writing craft. She is also a licensed Esthetician and licensed Food Server. She is well known in her community for these crafts as well. She has written two books with one on its way of being published called “Double Back”. She is currently working on a third and is looking to start, as a new blogger in the near future. She would like to tell everyone to always follow their dreams, always step out on faith it’s the best thing anyone could do. She is currently living in Chicago with her children and is brain storming on her future projects.
Check out the A&A with yours truly and Jamie below!!
Q. What inspires and motivates me to write.
A. Simply my family inspires me to write. The more they see me do the more fulfilled I become. My motivation is knowing that dreams do come true. The fact of knowing you want to do something and it can really happen is all the motivation I need.
Q. Do I research anything prior to starting a new project.
Take you through a normal day with a project that needs to be handled.
A.Yes I always research. I
usually get an idea I write it out from beginning to end usually what's
in my head is not actually what is going to happen. During my resesrch I
find out things that makes my writing session even better. I go to
different web sites collect books that will help bring my ideas to
life. Then I go back to the table alone or with someone I can bounce
ideas off of. Write down another blue print to follow.I usually start
with the most challenging first and end witb the easiest.
Q.what is the hardest/easiest part of writing.
A. Keeping my characters in order I could write about a character and think I got it all figured out then he/she will change direction in which they want to go. Trying to keep them where I want them is hard. Characters will pimp you..lol
The easiest part is falling in love with my characters especially the men.
Q. What new projects am I working on.
A. Im tucked away writing another best seller...shhhh
Building my brand and working on a project that I call ask Ms.Jl411. Where im asked anything about relationships , sex, men, women and I give my truth whether its just my advice or it's something I have been through.
Q. Advice for aspiring writers that I wish somebody shared with me.
A. Nine times out of ten aspiring writers already have a book in their head or in many note books. If this is your passion I would say immediately start writing and use others as a blue print but make it fit you its like finding a great recipe you love but adding your own flava to it.

Until next time....
