Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the idea and inspiration to write The Ministry of Motherhood?

Cheryl Lacey Donovan: The MInistry of Motherhood is the story of my journey from teen pregnancy, domestic violence and single motherhood to author, inspirational speaker and talk show host.

JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that lead to The Ministry of Motherhood getting out to the public?

CLD: The keys to success related to getting The Ministry of Motherhood out to the public include having a great publisher in Elissa Gabrielle with Peace in the Storm Publishing, a solid marketing plan and a sound author’s platform.

JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take for you to start and finish The Ministry of Motherhood?

CLD: I usually like to outline my books first. It helps me to get focused and put all of my thoughts in the right place. Then I begin to write anytime it hits me. I have my manuscript and then I have a portfolio in which I jot down quick thoughts that may just hit me. I later go back and review those thoughts to see if they can be used in the manuscript.

JP: What’s next for Cheryl Lacey Donovan?

CLD: Well, I plan to do quite a bit of traveling with The Ministry of Motherhood tour. The tour is designed to be a combination of speaking engagements, book signings and special appearances in which I release the message that there is hope for single mothers.
