Welcome to EJ’s real, crazy,
emotional, probably too honest journey. She is an everyday girl in this
everyday world trying to keep her head above water. Within the pages of this
book you will learn about the things that have broken EJ down and the
steps she is taking to build back up. You will see, that this story is written
in a unique, general, conversational voice, which was her choice. She wants you
to be able to picture yourself in her shoes, relate her trials and tribulations
to yours and see that you too can find your happiness. Even if you don’t
realize this yet, every single one of us possesses things inside of ourselves
that we didn't know were there. It took EJ’s life taking a crazy right turn and
dumping her at the lowest possible point before she could see the strength
within herself. We are not defined by what we do, we are defined by the choices
we make. EJ decided when she put pen to paper that she wanted her choices to
start defining her as strong, confident, secure and above all else, happy. So,
who am EJ? How about who she was - a self-loathing shell who put everyone else’s
happiness before her own. Herein lies a story about finding that happiness and
all of the ups and downs along the way. See who EJ was and who she is trying to
become and maybe, somewhere in there, you will find out a little about yourself
too.
Her latest book is the self-help, Your
Crossroads. Your Choice.

About the Book:
Welcome to my diary, my journey,
as I tripped and crawled through the darkest time in my life- when I witnessed
people that I held incredibly close to me shatter my very existence with
their words and actions. The things within this book spine are extremely raw
and exceptionally real. You and I are going to get very close, the details in
this book, although oddly general, are incredibly specific. Yes, I realize what
I just said and as you read my words you will see what I mean. As you silently
gasp and mentally bitch slap me, please be kind because my story is just that -
my story. It is not any more or less special than yours. In fact the only
difference between our stories are the choices we made at each of the
crossroads in our lives. For most of my life the choices I made were not based
on my happiness but on everyone else’s. This book describes what I have
experienced in my journey to finding my happiness and hopefully never letting
it go. Sadly, it took me thirty six years to find the strength I need to
detoxify my life and self-view and find someone who is worthy of my
awesomeness. Thirty six years to shatter the negative foundation I had built
shatter the ultimate representative I created to hide behind and begin the
process of building a new foundation. Only this foundation will be built on
strength, confidence and above all, happiness. So take a minute or thirty and
sit with my story for a while. You never know what you might find out.

How did you come
up with name of this book?
I had a much
wordier version of this title but decided that less is more. The whole essence
of my message in this book, of my whole platform is that you control the
choices you make. My goal is to empower you to have strength and confidence in
those choices so you can find your happiness.
Do you read
yourself and if so what is your favorite genre?
I love to read! I
am a middle school teacher so I admit I read a lot of young adult novels in
order to stay current with what my students are experiencing/reading. I am also
adapting this book into a more kid friendly version in the hopes that it can
help kids navigate the choppy waters of middle and high school with a little
more strength and confidence than they may have had.
Do you prefer to
write in silence or with noise? Why?
I prefer noise -
it makes me feel connected to the world.
What do you feel
you can accomplish with this book?
If there is enough
reach, then I am hoping I can begin a global change - a major shift in the way
our culture and society view happiness.
What is your next
project?
I am working on a
sequel to this book that will include tools and strategies to find your
confidence and happiness.
