Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is for them to understand that they are not aspiring authors/writers. You are already talented and gifted value creators who are going after your true passions in life, no matter what it is.You cannot go wrong following your dreams to be a best selling author!
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
Best advice, welcome the trillion to 1 odds. If you cannot find a way or a way is considered impossible then make your own new way and forge ahead.
What are you reading now?
The Science of the Spoken Word. – Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet
What’s your biggest weakness?
My biggest weakness has to do with time management. The push and pull of trying to find work/life balance and not getting distracted from the chief aim, which is to be a full-time successful writer/author.
What is your favorite book of all time?
My favorite book is called Super Puzzle by Mark Hamilton
When you’re not writing, how do you like to spend your time?
If I am not writing, I like to read alot. Watch movies, get out for fun shows and dining. Love music and practicing the drums when possible.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first memorable story that I read was my favorite book, Super Puzzle. It is a fictional story but based on a potentially new reality in real life, where 12 kids grow up to be super-achivers and change the world. The book has a wealth of knowledge for/about becoming your best self.
What has inspired you and your writing style?
I like to call my unique/original and creative writing style, Visionary Spirituality. I took on a new life path and wanted to use my talent for creative writing to be in service to others after a personal experience in Spiritual Awakening. Now I wish to inspire others to be their best self.
What are you working on now?
I have my own blog site called – My Golden Nuggets of Wisdom. I write articles on there that go along with the book material and I am working on book 2.
What is your favorite method for promoting your work?
I like sites like mybook place.net that help authors with advertising their work. I also think Twitter is a great resource for getting the word out/ other social media.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan on writing 3 books as part of a trilogy and then maybe an autobiography. I would like to integrate my book information into my Spiritual Life Coach business when ready.
How well do you work under pressure?
I am actually extremely good under pressure but on the same token, I do not like to be rushed for anything.
How do you decide what tone to use with a particular piece of writing?
For my book and with the material, I always use three sections. First section has beginning chapters, second section has the middle/meat of the book and third for ending/climax chapters. I incorporate a lot of creative change-ups to set the tone. This way everything isn't so deep and serious but fun and easy to read.
If you could share one thing with your fans, what would that be?
I would share the upmost integrity and the teaching of it. The importance of doing something to the best of your ability and never giving up on yourself or dreams even if it means going at things alone.
