Brenda Prater Sellers Author Interview

You Slept Where?: Calamities of a Clumsy Businesswoman shares with readers your journey to find the perfect photo for National Geographic and the memorable situations you found yourself in. Why was this an important book for you to write?

With so much sadness, sickness, and sorrow in the world, I wanted to make a difference and make readers laugh out loud at my calamities and usual predicaments.

At the time I was writing this book, I was dealing with my mother’s dementia, running businesses, balancing life, and trying to achieve professional and personal goals. More importantly, I NEEDED to laugh as an escape. 😊

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

No matter how tough life is or what situation (or place) you find yourself in – it is a positive attitude that makes a difference.

What is one piece of advice you wish someone had given you when you were younger?

Laugh more often.

What is one thing you hope readers take away from your story?

Live every day like it might be your last….

As a little girl, author Brenda Prater Sellers traipsed around Prater Flats in Louisville, Tennessee, thinking she was Ansel Adams with her first, clunky, black-and-white Polaroid that didn’t work half the time. The love of that camera and the unknown turned her into not only an overzealous wannabe photographer but into a Southern, Mountain Dew-driven, M&M eating, adrenaline-seeking adventurer, skydiver, and climber of Mount Everest.

In You Slept Where? she shares her story about a businesswoman who is also a wife, mother, and a farmer’s daughter pursuing a childhood dream of being published in National Geographic, while coping with life’s struggles of her parents’ eldercare. Sellers also tells about her experiences and mishaps in bizarre locations and staying at the world’s most unique places: an underwater hotel, an ice hotel, sleeping with polar bears, or sleeping in wigwams along Route 66. Imagine the movies Miss Congeniality meets National Lampoon’s Vacation in her version of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

With cost-saving travel tips and other advice included, You Slept Where? provides insight into one woman’s crazy adventures while encouraging others to create their own bucket list.
