JoeyPinkney.com's 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With... Julia Press Simmons, author of Begonia Brown: A Philadelphia Story

Julia Press Simmons' latest offering gives a voice and an outlet to the faceless, forgotten people who struggle to survive in the ghettos of America that are far from fabulous.

Julia talks about what it takes not only to put a quality book together but also what it takes to get it out of her head and into the hands of readers.

(Check out the JoeyPinkney.com Book Review of Begonia Brown: A Philadelphia Story in the archives.)


Ms. Simmons discusses:

* how the idea for Begonia Brown was sparked from the people staying in an abandoned house during her childhood years
* how she truly wanted to speak to the many souls who pushed back to the shadows of society by offering a story like Begonia Brown
* how a quote from Galaxy Quest gives her the energy to make her publishing dreams a reality
