Tell your readers a little about yourself, where you grew up, where you live now, where you went to school etc. Let them get to know the personal you.

I'm a dedicated wife, mother of three, and reside in Chicago, IL. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, writing, and photography, as well as traveling and exploring new places. I'm passionate about promoting body positivity, self-love, and self-esteem for women and girls, which stems from my own story of loss and a journey of personal discovery. Through my advocacy, I hope others embrace their true selves and live their best lives.



What inspired you to author this book?

In 2018, my Father passed away, and I found myself facing some of the toughest moments in my life. My hope began to falter, and I had many painful questions for God. Growing up, my father and I were very close. However, one night he visited me in a dream and told me to stay positive and never lose hope. This message has carried me through – a message I hope can help others through their own darkest days and harshest trials.

Where did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?

My husband was the one who helped inspire the design of my book cover. I aimed for it to mirror the essence of my book and evoke the feeling of hope. I desired a cover that is bright, impactful, and aesthetically pleasing to reflect the experience of having hope.

Who has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?

My dad has been the most significant influence in my life. We had a special bond, and he taught me so many important things that have shaped who I am today. But when he passed away suddenly in 2018, I was crushed. It was one of the toughest moments of my life, and I still miss him dearly. However, I am grateful for the time we spent together and the memories we created. When I turned to God with my pain and struggles, I felt a sense of peace and healing in my heart. My dad will always be a part of who I am, and I am forever grateful for the impact he had on my life. I know my dad is now in a better place, looking down on me from Heaven.

What were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?

Throughout my writing journey, I've faced several challenges and obstacles, one of which was rushing the process instead of embracing it. However, I've learned to be more mindful and present during both the writing and editing stages. As a result, I'm proud to have become a self-published author and even started my own publishing company, Tina Loves Tales. I'm excited to see where my passion for writing will take me next. God is Faithful!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

-Never apologize for being you-

Coming from a place of passion, experience, and healing, Je Taun Barron is a seasoned Author, Speaker, and the Founder/CEO of Perfectly Imperfect Foundation who aims to empower women and young girls to live life exactly how they should – unapologetically themselves. Expressing this within her recent publication ‘Hope for Women in Trial, Embracing All Seasons in Life,' Je fuels her readers with the notion that uniqueness should not be suppressed but celebrated. In addition, showcases just how powerful self-acceptance is when it comes to healing from the past, transforming pain into purpose, and was designed to act as a core reminder that God made you exactly the way you are for a reason…and you best bet that is more than enough.

A wife and mother of three amazing children, Je’s advocacy for spreading body positivity, self-love, and self-esteem for women and girls stems from a story of loss and a journey of finding God's linings among thickened clouds. Amid losing her father, Je turned to her faith and rested her confidence in both God and her father's ambiance of never losing hope. Now carrying this same message with her to form the Perfectly Imperfect Foundation and author her publications, Je has devoted her life to helping women and girls across the globe embrace the fluctuating seasons of life with grace, light, and love. Even more, to use that self-compassion as a stepping-stone to not just form healthier relationships with themselves but also stronger friendships, networks, and communities as a whole. That said, everyone is crafted in God's image perfectly imperfect; his love and healing are boundless on the heart, and sometimes unveiling begins with truly understanding that who you are is exactly who you are meant to be.

 

Overall, never forget the old yet wise saying that life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it. Blending this into her foundation and publications, Je inspires women and young girls to stop focusing on the external things they cannot control and begin paying attention to the internal things they can. This means allowing in God’s healing power and looking in the mirror to remind yourself how worthy and wonderful you are – flaws and all. Because if there is one thing for sure, everyone deserves to love themselves, find peace among trials, and manifest from surviving to generally living. But more importantly, doing so while recognizing that with the grace of God, your healing journey is something that you will never have to walk alone.

Tell your readers a little about yourself, where you grew up, where you live now, where you went to school etc. Let them get to know the personal you.

Sherrie Adams grew up in Headrick, a small rural town in Southwest Oklahoma, just east of Altus, where she currently resides. She has two handsome sons, two beautiful daughters-in-law, four grandchildren, and another one on the way.

At the age of 26, Sherrie enlisted in the U.S. Army, where she served four and a half years. During that time, she was stationed in Texas, Germany, and Arizona. Sherrie came back to Altus and worked various jobs before landing a job where she has been working for the last 12 years. Sherrie is a recent graduate of the Certified Public Manager (CPM)Program, which is a nationally accredited program for future leaders.

Based on her personal experience with narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, and toxic relationships, Sherrie is passionate about educating and helping women escape the vicious cycle of abuse.

What inspired you to author this book?

After a bad relationship, I prayed for a husband for five years. I was single and celibate for those five years. I finally stopped praying for a husband, crossed out almost everything in my prayer journal that I had been praying for except some stuff in the margin, and said, "God, You know my heart for a husband." Not too long after that, a man came into the church, and he "became" everything that I had prayed for. Our friendship turned romance quickly, and because I was so blind to the charm and charisma that he had and desperately wanted someone to love me, that I ignored the red flags were present. Before we got married, he was very kind. After we got married, he became very possessive, angry, and violent. All those things were there before, but I just didn't see them. I had to figure out how to get myself out of a toxic, violent, narcissistic abusive relationship quickly before he killed me. I eventually got out of this marriage, but it wasn't easy or safe. He ended up going to prison for violating the protective order and for felony stalking. He is now out of prison, and I still don't feel safe. I know that I was not the only one who was going through relationships like this, and there are people still trapped in these toxic relationships. I escaped, and I want to help others do the same.

Where did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?

Canva. I was going through the book covers, and none really fit what I was looking for. My ex-husband was evil and very manipulative. When I saw the hand with the snake wrapped around it, I decided that was the book cover that fit him as a narcissist.

Who has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?

My momma was one of the biggest influences. We struggled in our relationship when I was growing up, and I had absolutely no idea why she treated me the way she did. I felt abandoned, rejected, and unloved. It wasn't until I was in the military that I really wanted to repair our relationship. I had no idea the struggles that my mom had gone through as a child or even a young girl had affected the way she raised me. I only learned the truth about the trauma that my momma endured growing up when I was writing the book.

I discovered why I felt the way that I felt as far as being abandoned, rejected, and unloved when I was researching what was happening to me in my toxic marriage. I was googling the things he was doing and discovered the term narcissistic abuse. That led me to YouTube videos of Dr. Ramani, where I not only learned about narcissistic abuse but everything that made me vulnerable to narcissists and that every relationship that I had since childhood had been narcissistic.



What were the struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?

My momma is now in a nursing home with end-stage dementia, and one of the struggles that I had to overcome was not knowing that my mom went through the trauma she went through and learning why she did the things she did. I had to overcome self-doubt and insecurities of my own about not being good enough and then put my vulnerability out there for the world to see as I documented the abuse that I went through. Probably the biggest struggle I had was forgiving myself for allowing myself to get entangled with this monster. How did I not see him for who he was? Did I have rose-colored glasses that were glued to my face?

Tell your readers about your book.

It's my story about ignoring red flags that I didn't realize were red flags and found myself married to a malignant narcissist. I tell readers the red flags that were there and, from my perspective, what they looked like and how to recognize red flags. I tell readers how to escape from narcissistic abuse and domestic violence. Charm and charisma aren't all it's cracked up to be. If the person you're interested in can charm the bark off of a tree, run and don't look back.

Who is your target audience, and why?

People who have been in toxic relationships, whether they are working, personal (family), or romantic relationships with people who are manipulative, deceitful, and abusive. Too often, some people don't realize they are even in a toxic relationship until it's too late. Those people have sometimes been conditioned as a child, and they gravitate toward certain types of relationships because they are familiar or comfortable, not realizing they are toxic. I want to open people's eyes to recognize narcissistic red flags and what to do if they encounter them.

What do you consider your greatest success in life?

Graduating from the Certified Public Manager (CPM) Program and writing Run Girl Run about a snippet of my life that was one of the darkest in my life. I went into the CPM not knowing what to expect. I had just got myself out of a toxic and tragic relationship and was going through stuff with my nephew, who was there to protect me from my ex-husband right before I entered the program. Right when we began the CPM Program, my nephew was brutally murdered by a 17-year-old psychopath who chased him down and ran him over multiple times. I was grieving the marriage that I prayed for five years; I was trying to process my nephew's death, planning his funeral, and trying to keep myself together every day as I went to work and also tried to get these classes done. Luckily, the class was something that was paid for by my employer, and my employer allowed me to get my class work done during work hours. The program was headed by Janet Jones, a God-fearing woman who encouraged me to stay strong, prayed with me, and kept me in prayer during some of the darkest moments in my life. She is also the one who encouraged me to write a book about my journey. The book I had initially intended on writing was about healing from everything that I had been through, but I decided to write about why I needed healing in the first place.

What one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?

Honestly, being vulnerable for the world to see after being vulnerable from narcissistic abuse. Just the trauma alone from narcissistic abuse is enough to put someone into a shell or hole and not ever want to come out or trust anyone. I am a fighter and always have been. I guess I can truly say that is something that I got from my momma.

ABOUT THE BLOGGER

The entire concept of this blog is to remain anonymous and generate fantastic short stories. I love this blog. Check it out.


Tell your readers a little about yourself, where you grew up, where you live now, where you went to school etc. Let them get to know the personal you.

I grew up in the Midwest and now live in the South. I graduated from a prestigious high school and went to an in-state university. I’ll have to leave a lot of the detail vague since, again, I’d prefer not to reveal my true identity until perhaps later.

What inspired you to author this book?

This book/story came about 1st more as a PR venture for my startup. I wanted to tell a story about my life. Still, as I slowly started writing, I realized that maybe I wanted to share this story for my healing and my inner child who dreamed of writing their own book or movie. Life has been both magical and tragic. I think something we can all relate to. These past few years have been quite desperate and divisive, and I wanted to create something to show that in the grand scheme of life, we are all connected by our shared experiences. Whether we take time to ever self-reflect, to acknowledge our mistakes, the pain we may have inflicted on others, the hurts we were dealt...those hard truths we must face to grow...I just wanted people to see that they are not alone and that we are all going thru it.

https://www.myanonymouslife.com/

Where did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?

The book’s cover was AI, created by an artist in Florida.

Who has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?

I’ve always written, mostly poetry, since I was a child. I studied creative writing as a minor but wanted something a bit more judicial for my major since I was very focused on rectifying injustices in the world. I suppose my startup also focuses on creating better environments for others, but I can’t get into the specifics here. The most significant influence would be all those who’ve affected me throughout my life. A boring answer but, all the same, a fact.

What were the struggles or obstacles you overcame to get this book written?

It’s a struggle every time I post. I wonder if my message will resonate with anyone. The fear of exposing myself in all its terrible, excellent form. Will I be outcasted by society? There’s a lot of overcoming of anxiety that goes into putting yourself out there, and I can only hope that the audience can show some grace in that respect.

https://www.myanonymouslife.com/


Tell your readers about your book.

It’s just a typical story. It could be about you, me, your next-door neighbor, or even your enemy.

Who is your target audience, and why?

I believe due to the graphic nature of the content/future content, the target audience should be over 18. Perhaps those around 40 with a bit of life experience under their belt may also find the stories interesting.

https://www.myanonymouslife.com/

What do you consider your greatest success in life?

Surviving the things that I’ve survived. Establishing a startup from scratch and wielding an influence over areas I never dreamt possible. Most important to me is being able to finally self-reflect and relearn who I truly am as a person.

What one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?

I honestly can’t say if I’m anything special, not in my genre or otherwise. Perhaps if anything, the way I perceive this world, after everything I’ve been thru, I still can see life as a magical and wonderful thing.
