Today we’d like to introduce you to April Scroggins.
Hi April, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My story started long before I became an author. My foundation began in the hair industry, where I have been licensed since 2007. While I am currently focused on growing Love in Transit, I am not completely removed from the beauty industry. Hair has always been part of my story, and working behind the chair taught me lessons that still carry me today. It taught me discipline, patience, creativity, customer service, communication, and how to connect with people on a personal level.
When you work in beauty, you hear people’s stories. You see people through happy seasons, hard seasons, heartbreak, confidence issues, family changes, and personal growth. That experience helped shape the way I understand people, relationships, and real life.
Over time, I realized my creativity was bigger than one lane. I started writing during a rough season in my own relationship, and at first, it became a way for me to process what I was feeling. In a way, I was trying to rewrite my own story and turn pain, confusion, and growth into something meaningful. I wanted to create something that felt real. Something people could read and say, “I know somebody like that,” or “I have been through that before.” That is how Love in Transit was born.
Love in Transit started as a book series, but my goal is to grow it into my biggest brand. It is the main thing I am focused on building and pushing forward right now. The series is centered around love, healing, relationships, loyalty, accountability, forgiveness, heartbreak, family, communication, and the journey of becoming a better version of yourself.
I write about characters who are flawed, growing, hurting, learning, and trying to love while carrying real life baggage. I wanted the stories to feel honest, not perfect. My goal is to create books that make people feel seen while also opening the door for deeper conversations about love, choices, healing, and growth.
My first book, No Rush, No Pressure, opened the door for the series and introduced readers to the emotional side of love, growth, and timing. From there, I continued building with War at Her Door, which expanded the world of the characters and showed the deeper battles that come with love, pressure, loyalty, and protecting your peace. Now I am continuing the journey with Shadows & Foundations: Book Three of the Love in Transit Series, which brings the story into another season of growth, rebuilding, family, co parenting, loyalty, and learning how to create a stronger foundation after everything life has tested.
My goal is to keep growing Love in Transit into more than just books. The brand has expanded into relationship journals, digital products, podcast conversations, courses, and content that speaks to couples, singles, and people trying to heal and grow.
I want Love in Transit to become a space where people can read, reflect, laugh, cry, have real conversations, and see themselves in the message. It is not just about romance. It is about what people go through while learning how to love better, communicate better, forgive, rebuild, and choose themselves when necessary.
That journey also became personal in another way because before getting married, my husband and I used some of the same relationship material, conversations, and healing principles I was creating through Love in Transit to work through what we needed to heal. It reminded me that love is not about perfection. It is about honesty, communication, patience, forgiveness, accountability, and choosing to keep building together.
Along the way, I have also gained experience in business, branding, marketing, customer communication, and digital setup. I help support Dallas Movers with organization, quotes, client communication, and marketing, and I have also started helping other small business owners bring their ideas to life through digital platforms.
Right now, my biggest focus is pushing Love in Transit forward and building it into a lasting brand. I got to where I am today by learning as I went. I did not have everything figured out when I started, but I kept moving. I kept creating, kept studying, kept asking questions, and kept believing that every season was teaching me something.
From the hair industry to authorship, from customer service to branding, from life experience to storytelling, every part of my journey has helped me build what I am building now.
At the heart of everything I do is faith, family, creativity, hard work, and the desire to leave something meaningful behind. I am still growing, still learning, and still building, but I am proud of the direction I am headed. Love in Transit is the brand I am pouring into right now, and I believe it has the power to reach people because it comes from a real place.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it has not been a smooth road. A lot of my journey has been learning how to keep going while life was still happening around me. I started building Love in Transit during a rough season in my own relationship, so one of the biggest challenges was creating while I was still healing. Writing became a way for me to process, reflect, and turn what I was feeling into something meaningful, but that also meant I had to be honest with myself. That part was not always easy.
Another challenge has been learning the business side of being creative. Writing the book is one thing, but building a brand around it is something completely different. I had to learn about publishing, marketing, social media, digital products, podcasting, journals, courses, websites, and how to show up consistently even when I did not have everything figured out. A lot of it has been trial and error.
I have also had to balance different parts of my life and work. I come from the hair industry, where I have been licensed since 2007, and I am still connected to that world. I also help with business operations, customer communication, and marketing through Dallas Movers. So learning how to make room for Love in Transit while still handling real responsibilities has been a challenge.
There have also been moments of doubt. When you are building something personal, it can feel scary to put it out into the world. You wonder if people will understand it, support it, or connect with it. But I have learned that the stories and ideas that come from a real place are usually the ones people need the most.
The road has not been perfect, but it has taught me patience, discipline, faith, and resilience. Every challenge has helped me grow as a woman, a wife, a creative, and a business owner. I am still learning, but I believe those struggles gave Love in Transit its heart. They helped me build something that is not just about romance, but about healing, accountability, growth, forgiveness, and learning how to keep moving forward.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My work is centered around storytelling, healing, relationships, and creative brand building. Right now, my main focus is Love in Transit, a book series and growing relationship-based brand that speaks to love, growth, accountability, communication, forgiveness, and the real work it takes to heal and build healthy connections.
I am an author and creator, but I also see myself as someone who turns life lessons into something people can feel, use, and relate to. Through Love in Transit, I write stories that are emotional, honest, and rooted in real-life situations. My books are not built around perfect love stories. They are about people who are learning, making mistakes, trying again, protecting their peace, and figuring out who they are while loving someone else.
The series includes No Rush, No Pressure, War at Her Door, and Shadows & Foundations. Each book carries its own message, but they all connect back to the same foundation: love is a journey, and growth is part of that journey.
Beyond the books, I am building Love in Transit into a larger brand with relationship journals, podcast conversations, digital products, courses, and content for both couples and singles. A lot of the material focuses on communication, self-reflection, accountability, healing, and rebuilding.
What makes the work special to me is that it is not just something I created for other people. Some of the same relationship material and healing principles helped me and my husband work through what we needed to heal before getting married. That made the brand even more personal because I was not just writing about growth, love, and healing. I was living it too.
I also have a strong background in the hair industry. I have been licensed since 2007, and that part of my life shaped how I connect with people. Being behind the chair teaches you how to listen, how to read people, and how to understand that everybody has a story. That experience still shows up in my writing and in the way I build relationships with my audience.
I am most proud of the fact that I started with an idea during a rough season and turned it into something bigger than myself. Love in Transit came from a real place, and I am proud that it has grown into books, journals, conversations, and tools that can help people reflect on their own relationships and healing.
What sets me apart is that I do not create from a place of pretending everything is perfect. I create from truth, experience, faith, and growth. My work is honest, emotional, and relatable. I want people to feel like they are not alone when they read my books or interact with my brand. I want them to see that love takes work, healing is possible, and you can still build something beautiful after a hard season.
How do you think about happiness?
What makes me happy is seeing something grow from an idea into something real. Whether it is a book, a journal, a podcast episode, a business page, or even a conversation that helps someone see things differently, I love knowing that something I created can reach people.
My family makes me happy because they are part of the reason I keep going. I want to build something meaningful, not just for myself, but for the people connected to me and the legacy I want to leave behind. Being married also gave me a deeper appreciation for love, partnership, patience, and growth. It reminds me that happiness is not just about perfect moments. Sometimes it is about seeing how far you have come after the hard ones.
Creating makes me happy because it gives me a way to turn life into purpose. Love in Transit came from a real place, and every time I write, build content, or create something connected to the brand, it feels like I am taking another step toward the future I see for myself.
I am also happiest when I feel like I am helping someone. My background in the hair industry taught me how powerful it can be to make people feel seen, heard, and confident. That same feeling shows up in my writing and in the work I do now. I want people to feel encouraged, understood, and reminded that healing and growth are possible.
At this stage in my life, happiness looks like peace, purpose, family, creativity, faith, and progress. It is not about everything being perfect. It is about knowing I am still growing, still building, and still becoming the woman I am meant to be.
