Charissa Bates is my guest today, and you're in for such a beautifully inspiring story. With a little Harry Potter thrown in. Charissa is a mother to three and is a survivor of a rare and aggressive cancer. She works as a Children's Mental Health Therapist and enjoys serving and volunteering. Charissa loves her Little Free Library that looks like Hogwarts. As a long time Harry Potter fan myself, this is one of the coolest little free libraries I've ever seen. Charissa enjoys creating and bringing her children on adventures, camping, and traveling. During cancer Charissa discovered how therapeutic writing was for her. Thus, three books were born: We Find Joy: Cancer Messed with the Wrong Family, The Traveling Book and I'm a good neighbor like Jesus. She lives by the words "Find Joy". Again, her most important role is being able to watch her three beautiful children grow up.  Enjoy Charissa's story.https://www.instagram.com/hogwartslittlefreelibrarymn/https://www.instagram.com/charissabatesauthor/http://www.facebook.com/findingjoypresshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuFv6BcayVi4V-o1p1nVnigSupport the showFollow Moms Who Create:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/momswhocreatepodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/momswhocreatepodcastMonthly Meeting Book Club - https://www.facebook.com/groups/momswhocreatebookclubWebsite - https://www.momswhocreate.com/

From a young age, I always wanted to be a novelist. I was always writing stories and daydreaming about things that could be. As an adult, I did not initially pursue this as a career because I wanted to build a family, and I thought it was not feasible economically. Instead, I wrote website content and translated documents into English from multiple foreign languages. More recently, I built a successful digital marketing agency with my wife Alcione. In that agency, we have helped numerous entrepreneurs to each sell millions of dollars in info products. That experience has caused me to believe that I can actually make a go as an independent novelist, without an agent or a publisher. I want to show others that they can bring their dreams to reality, both in the stories they want to tell and in the life that they want to build. https://www.ronaldmkimmons.com/free-novella Thank you for listening to The Curious Creatrix podcast.

Author R. A. Revis was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and has been a fan of fantasy novels for almost as long as he has been able to read. His first novel, The Dark Times Saga: The Black Forest, is fueled by his fascination of the paranormal and the supernatural, including his love of ancient history and religions. The Dark Times Saga: The Black Forest, will leave you breathless and waiting for book two as it takes you deep into the mind of R. A. Revis.
