David Schein 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Dr. David D. Schein, MBA, JD, Ph.D. is a Professor, Endowed Chair of Management and Marketing and Director of Graduate Programs at the Cameron School of Business at the University of St. Thomas. Dr. Schein is frequently interviewed on employment and business law matters. He speaks for business and industry groups throughout the United States on various current topics. His new book is: Bad Deal for America. He is also the author of The Decline of America: 100 Years of Leadership Failures (2018). He has been quoted in numerous national and local publications, including Forbes and US News and World Reports. In addition to hosting “Saving America” and “Business Law 101” webcasts, he has been interviewed on numerous webcasts and podcasts in the United States and England.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Bad Deal for America” genre is political satire. It is based on a deck of cards. Each card represents actual statements by a recent or current member of Congress or the Senate. The opening chapter, “Dealt a Pile of Chips” explains in detail the benefits and salary paid to the Members. The last chapter talks about how some Members have magically either become millionaires or enhanced their fortunes by being in their elected positions. The pitch of the book is for term limits for elected officials.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Heavy on the research. Most of my work is non-fiction and it has to be right. I have researchers, but everything I include in my articles and books is thoroughly reviewed by me before I use it in a publication. I also have 3 or 4 books and articles in my mind at one time. I write very quickly when I sit at the keyboard since I have already written it mentally.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My favorite authors are Hemmingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Most of my current influences are from the latest business and political news from around the world.

What are you working on now?
My Decline of America ended with Obama. I am writing a new book which will include chapters on Trump and Biden. I also have a musical revue in the works.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My own social media sites, primarily LinkedIn, Twitter and Gettr at this time. Of course, Amazon.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Work hard and have a third-party review and edit your works before heading to publication.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
From my parents – work hard in school and go to college.

What are you reading now?
Doing heavy research on ESG and how the ESG ratings are done for various businesses.

What’s next for you as a writer?
See above. Musical revue and a couple new non-fiction books. I also have a play in a one-act play contest.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, War and Peace.

Brian Coggins Jr. 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a science fiction and epic fantasy nerd but I love reinventing stories about Greek mythology and history. Writing has always been a pathway to another world for me as my inspiration for character development and intricate mystery plots flourished from my time in film school in Orlando, Florida. My goal with this first debut book, along with what’s to come, is to create an exclusive fulfilling reading experience that indulges the audiences imagination and dives them into a complex, action adventure universe full of diverse characters.

When I’m not writing, I tend to spend my time with my friends and family, traveling with my wife, or doing house chores that my wife tells me I never get to.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Olympus Trinity. I have always been intrigued by Greek mythology ever since high school. But what drew me the most was I wanted to create a fresh take on the Greek gods. There is such a distinguished history behind Greek mythology that people know and love and I just wanted to allow myself to create a more realistic and relatable story of characters for audiences to emotionally draw to while still maintaining action packed sequences full of love and humor.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t believe I have any unusual writing habits but if I had to point to something it would be that I always listen to movie soundtracks or ambience music to immerse myself in the environment that I am creating.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I would say that Dan Brown has had the greatest influence on me from a writing standpoint. I love his “Da Vinci Code” series and how he drops the audience right into the story, hitting the ground running out the gate.

What are you working on now?
I am currently working on my next book series that ties into ‘The Olympus Trinity’ which is called Eyes of Isis: Serpent’s Sting. Its based upon the Egyptian Goddess Isis and her going on an adventure to collect the fifty canopic jars of her husband Osiris. She is a psychologically damaged Deity that watched her husband grotesquely murdered in front of her. On top of that she inherited the responsibility of becoming the Pharaoh and ruling over countless worlds and she also struggles with the challenges of being there for her children.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Audiences can go to www.theworldsofcomplexity.com for new content and updates and meet me and the co-creator of The Worlds of Complexity, Giancarlo Carrasco.

You can also reach us on our Twitter page at: www.twitter.com/the_woc_
Instagram: www.instagram.com/the_worlds_of_complexity

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My biggest advice for new authors is to surround yourself with positive people that will cheer you on from the beginning to the finish line. I’m a big proponent of the energy you surround yourself will shape you into who you are and who you will become. If you want positivity then be around positivity.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Listen and silent have the same letters for a reason. We are so adament at times when it comes to conversations to think that we know it all, but sometimes staying quiet and listening to what someone has to say will help you put yourself in their shoes. I always believe that there is beauty in our differences.

What are you reading now?
I am currently not reading anything at this time but I’m always looking for suggestions from my followers on my social media platforms.

What’s next for you as a writer?
My next goal is to finish my work on the Eyes of Isis story and get it out to my beta readers for constructive criticism. As well as getting my merchandise items from The Olympus Trinity ready for audiences to purchase.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones
Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code
J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Dwight Croy 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
One book and working on a trilogy. Have written many articles over the course of a career in the military, but now in retirement, I am writing for fun and enjoyment. I am passionate about writing about the Bible & God and focusing on the needs of the fatherless and the needs of middle school-age boys.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“God’s Focus on the Fatherless” A Lens to Inform Spiritual Impact in the Local Church. It is a self-study or a group study group tool. My pursuit of a Doctor of Ministry inspired it and it is very well studied and thought out. Personal reasons are stated in the book. My dad was raised without a father and I have worked with many soldiers and young people without a father. I would like people who minister and are giving people to know how to approach this need.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I leave a lot of writing on my computer for long periods of time. My ideas are many, but I work hard at rewriting, organizing, and coming back with a fresh approach. I read books between chapters that I write and intensify my research to give me more ideas of where to take a storyline. I enjoy the creative part of writing and it brings me joy whether things are published or not. As a person retired, I have decided to write more and print more.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
As a preacher’s child (kid for the growing up slang in church), the Bible and Pilgrim’s Progress, then anything I could get my hands on about Daniel Boone or Davy Crocket; then I read the whole series of Danny Orlis (Moody Press) as I grew. I then read a whole lot of books on Missionaries because they inspired me with their real look at the world. “Peace Child” still is a classic to me among others. Through Bible School, Seminary, and Universities I focused on Non-Fiction Theology, Bibliology, and Christian Education.

What are you working on now?
I am working on a Historical Fiction Trilogy of Bible Characters in the middle of Assyrian History. Approximately 850 BC. This part of history requires a lot of research and that is a great percentage of my joy in writing. Research on what boys like to read is “real” happenings and enjoy a story on the way to learning history. I would like to bring that part of history to life for boys who struggle with reading or life in general. I am also working on a non-fiction commentary on my father-in-law’s article for a journal or magazine.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon, because I am an old guy learning in the electronic data-filled age. My son is a help in this arena. Even though my non-fiction book has been out for a while, I am just now working on getting it into audio. Very fun project for us to work on together. I have a website with a connection to my publisher, but it is not as effective. I have been teaching juvenile boys for approximately seven years and now I will be able to devote more attention to my website.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write lots of things and capture all your ideas on an idea sheet. Even if not fully developed, throw them on there, so you will not forget them. Be thankful that you live in the electronic age where you can rewrite, revise, renew, refresh, etc… You will know when you have done your best work. Take free video courses online concerning your genre of writing. A lot of the courses are making money on your insecurity about writing. Take a bunch of free classes out there, before you pay for anything.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Make a plan and work on the plan. Too many people give up. Write to enjoy your life. Write to your satisfaction. Write to serve others. Pray about your writing and how it will lift others up. Ignore rejection and keep on writing. If God has put it in your heart to express, then work on doing that the best you know how to do.

What are you reading now?
I Samuel, Assyrian History, “The Oldest Christian People: A Brief Account of the History and Traditions of the Assyrian People and the Fateful History of the Nestorian Church” and “Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life” and “Men of Mystery and Miracles: Elijah and Elisha” and “Assyrian” by Guild, Nicholas.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I am in the middle of my trilogy and when I finish it, I will go on to my next idea which is to provide a boys’ study booklet for the Scripture it is based on. That would be a non-fiction booklet. I am also working on a non-fiction researched article that spun out of my Historical Fiction project. I am leaning also toward doing a similar Historical Fiction with a lesser-known figure in the Bible.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Bible, History of the World Atlas, Pilgrims Progress, Survival guide on how to live on a desert island and possibly escape it.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
So, I was in the Navy for about 13 years. Before that I worked various odd jobs while getting my bachelor’s degree in computer science, and when I finished my degree, I knew I did not want to be a programmer for the rest of my life. I had knocked around the idea of being a Navy pilot, and I still had time, so I went for it and was accepted. In the service, I flew the MH-60S (essentially a navalized version of the Army’s Black Hawk), and then went back to fixed-wing and instructed in the T-6. After that, I did a tour as a JTAC with one of the SEAL Teams, including a deployment to Africa. A JTAC is a person trained to orchestrate and direct air strikes–technically, air strikes in close proximity to friendly forces, which is indeed what we were doing in Africa. It was during that tour that I started this book, and finished it on that deployment, in my little shipping-container bedroom. Prior to that, I’d written several long novels, but none of them have I considered in a condition fit for publication, even indie self-pub, so this is the first one I’ve tried to bring to market. Aside from work, I’ve done a few other things in my life. I like to try things for real, if at all possible.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of the book is Outsiders. I wrote it as a single work, intending for it to be an honest attempt at a normal-length novel, but I failed dramatically, so I split it into three volumes when I decided to POD-publish it. We’ll see how that goes. As to inspiration, honestly… I got the idea for it after rewatching the first Michael Bay “Transformers” movie and thinking, “You know, it’s kind of fun, the semi-realistic military action and jargon and stuff mixed with something imaginative like aliens. Except the semi-realistic military action actually isn’t realistic at all. It’s all wrong. And the aliens are all wrong, too, of course–which is to say, no, not that I’m expecting Transformers to be a realistic alien invasion story, but there’s something to the idea that fanciful science fiction (not just limited to aliens, but other subgenres like cyberpunk) could be done with more of a focus on the science, not to make it less fanciful so much as to just make it something that you can watch (or read), and enjoy, but also learn something fun. Why couldn’t we have a story like Transformers, that’s a bit lighthearted and fun, but which doesn’t make you dumber by the minute. So, that’s what I tried to do here. The idea is that you can read this story and, when it starts talking about some piece of technology or some military tactic or something (nothing classified, naturally, and it has been reviewed for that), you can google that thing and maybe learn something.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual writing habits? Heck no. I just write when I can, because I work for a living. The Navy career is done, but I’m no less busy now.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Reading is the most important thing nobody does anymore. Oh, sure, I know, around these parts plenty of people are reading all the time, soaking up Kindle books or what have you all the time, but here’s the thing: I’ve read them, too, and the truth is, most of what’s written these days you can tell is written by people who grew up reading nothing more than Facebook posts and online fan-fiction, or, one generation further on, grew up reading nothing more than novels written by people who grew up reading nothing more than Facebook posts and online fan-fiction. A lot of that is the explosion of self-publishing, but I think there was a break in the literary chain that had been otherwise unbroken, for the most part, from the Olden Days straight through to the late 20th Century. I think there was a generation, somewhere around Gen X or Millennial, that didn’t grow up reading old stuff. Nowadays, finding an author who can write with the quality of a Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton (both masters in their genres, but stylistically simple and straightforward, neither one exactly renowned for literary genius or deep, thoughtful character creation), much less a Joseph Conrad or a Charles Dickens or a Jane Austen. Nowadays, finding a story that’s good and also clean in terms of grammar, spelling, and even basic word choice, is a slog. Writers like Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, and Stephen King might not be writing literary fiction, but they read some, growing up. They devoured books, and good books at that, and even if they decided to go a different route, to focus on different things, a more commercial entertainment style, with slim characters and steady action, their skills were informed by the legacy that came before them.

I say all that to say this: read the old stuff. If you like to read, devour older generations of works. For every modern novel you read, read something that was written before 1970, at least. If you are a scifi buff, soak up the greats, the Michael Crichton, the Isaac Asimov, the Arthur C. Clark, the Ray Bradbury, the Robert Heinlein, the Frank Herbert, the H. G. Wells, the Jules Verne, the Mary Shelley, and the Nathaniel Hawthorne (and any others I missed here). If you like adventure stories, read Jack London and the Rudyard Kipling and Alexandre Dumas. Read “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen. Then read some Joseph Conrad. If you like fantasy, do read Tolkein’s a C. S. Lewis’s works, both. Don’t try to be too cool for school. “Oh, everybody reads LotR and says it’s the best, so I’m going to establish my individuality by not reading it.” No. Read it. Same with Jane Austen, if you like romance stories. (Men, do yourself a favor and read “Pride & Prejudice.” You will not regret it.)

And then, when you are comfortable reading some of the older works in your genre, expand your horizons. Read “A Tale of Two Cities.” “Heart of Darkness.” “The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn.” “The Scarlet Letter.” “1984.” “The Old Man and the Sea.” “The Brothers Karamazov.”

And a note to one particular objection that pops up every now and then about some of these older works and their authors, namely “But but but… some of them were… racist.” Understand this: in a hundred years, people will look back at something you do, or support, or take for granted in your life today, and they will recognize it for the evil that it is, and revile you for the evil monster you are. We are no better than the people of old; we are no less blind to our evils than they were to theirs. When everyone around you is telling you not to read something, because its writer was a bad person for this reason or that reason, read it, and hope that your posterity will do you the same favor when your moral crimes are recognized.

What are you working on now?
A steampunk gothic horror. Hopefully this one will be of a normal length.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Heck if I know. I ain’t never done tried this before.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be a reader, first. Consume books by the hundreds, including many of the old ones. While you read, you can practice writing, write short stuff if you like. I never did a lot of that. Maybe one or two short-stories in school. You’re not wrong if you don’t do that. The main thing is the reading.

Second, live. Live life. Don’t just be a writer; go out and do stuff. You want to write about military people? Join up for a stint. Want to write cop stories? Go be one for a few years. Hunt, fish, sail, skydive, fly, SCUBA-dive. Fight. Learn to fight and get yourself into a few fights (legally, naturally). Ladies, I’m talking to you, too. If you’re going to write about characters fighting, take some boxing classes, and put yourself through at least one full-contact bout in the ring. It won’t kill you. It will change your life, though. Do the things that scare you the most. I’m not saying you have to have lived everything about which you will write, but the more you live, and the more you challenge and attack your fears, the more your life can give texture and believability to your writing.

Finally, once you have consumed hundreds of books and have at least begun to live a little, then start writing the stories you want to read that no one else has written yet. Don’t worry too much about style or technique. You’ll have absorbed all of that and will have decided what you like and what you want to use. Write like you want to read. Then, expect your first few to be not good. Keep writing more stories, until they start coming out good. (And, again, most people will start with short works, but don’t worry if that’s not you. It wasn’t me. My first original story was a 240,000-word fanfic. Fit for human consumption? Probably not. But it was plenty of practice.)

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Honestly? This one: “Love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Also, “Never follow your heart, for the heart is sick and deceitful above all things.” If those are too much for you, though, try this one: “If it’s not difficult, not painful, doesn’t humble you and make you feel like you’ve been judged and found wanting, doesn’t make you feel at least a little badly about yourself, it’s probably not worth doing.” Or, just, “Do the things that really scare you.”

What are you reading now?
I have been reading the Forgotten Ruin series (much love!), but I will take a break from that for another classic. Probably Ivanhoe next.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Expand my free time again so that I can get back to writing. I have another idea for a novel that will probably get me burned at the stake, but it will need some planning.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Would start with the Bible, to keep things in perspective. Then the Lord of the Rings (complete edition with appendices) because it takes up plenty of time and has plenty of re-read value. The last two? Probably big blank books I can write in. Being stranded on a desert island would make for good writing time.

Stephen Schneider 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a middle grade author with my first book coming out the end of summer. I have stories in 2 anthologies that will be coming out this year and a Kindle Vella story coming out each week.
I live in Northeast Ohio. By day I’m a computer programmer and have been writing when I’m not coding. I have a dog and some cats and a wolf. Yes, a wolf, but he’s a gentle thing.
Besides writing and coding I like comic books and video games. Oh and some movies. I read a lot.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Town Magician 1 – Embracing the Magic
There is a local Harry Potter Wizard fest in Kent, Ohio. A couple years ago I wanted to write a quick short story to put on an author table at the event. The story grew and I wanted to make it better and it went from a short story to a full novel. And I have plans for several more which include a prequel series.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I write when I can and have been spending more time writing as my craft has improved. I do a podcast where I interview new authors, and have picked up some great ideas that have changed my writing over time.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Well, Stephen King comes to mind first, but the Dragonlance Chronicles by Weiss and Hickman have always been favorites of mine. I feel my writing is similar to Rick Riordan. And I have gotten into Jeff Strand in recent years. Not only do I enjoy his books, but we were born 2 days apart and he lived within a few miles of me while growing up.

What are you working on now?
I am working on my Kindle Vella series – Young Oddish Questors – that will be the prequel to a full series later. These will be based on some short stories I wrote for my kids and they’re about an investigator group that is similar to Scooby Doo.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My website is the best because I target it for all marketing, though I haven’t done much marketing yet. I did write a couple non-fiction books that I use amazon ads almost exclusively.
I am working on getting some solid reviews, because that makes parents feel comfortable when they are buying MG books.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t worry about craft. Don’t worry about marketing. Don’t worry about a million books to help this that or the other thing.
Get some writing under your belt. Get a book done and then work on another. Get a couple short stories done. Don’t focus on getting them polished or publish. Just write.
Once you get several things written, then all the other stuff will make more sense and you can more easily pick the advice that will help you and make it work effectively.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You don’t have to do every bit of advice you hear.

What are you reading now?
I just finished The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander. I also have been reading Dracula because I was at a world building weekend in New Orleans that had a surprise virtual visit from Dacre Stoker.

What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing of course! I have multiple books in the Town Magician series, and then a book 1 as a spy thriller. The Oddish Questor series will be coming up soon as I have 3 books planned for that.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Can I cheat and take a compendium? Like the 100 best Harvard classics all as 1 book? I know – digital makes this silly because you couldn’t read after it dies.
Dragonlance
The Shining
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Remy Agee 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Have published 6 books for children ages 1-11 years old. One of the books which I co-authored with my grandson uses pen names. He’s Howie Doinn and I’m Candace B. Furreal.

We’re in the publishing stage of final edits for a two-book children’s series, SUITCASE.THE.CAT. for publication this summer. We’ve been working on it since it began as a short story, while playing our ‘One Sentence Story Game’ 6 years ago.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
As co-author of WARNING! NEVER. EVER., I recall that my grandson and I were having a creative brainstorming session and came up with absurd situations that people should NEVER. EVER. do. It took a few tries with various illustrators and then we found the perfect one and his illustrations are what make the book so fun. I will be promoting that book last week of April on your site. It’s geared to ages 5 – 99.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m an organic writer. That is, I don’t really plan an outline. I write and enjoy seeing where the story takes me. With my children’s books, I create the story to help children develop better self-esteem and spark their imagination. Imagination is what is behind all of my/our books, because it really is the birthplace of inventions and ideas. In fact, I’ve published an article on that concept in an international journal for early childhood education professionals.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
First, I have always enjoyed reading biographies and autobiographies. True stories of real people fascinate and inspire me. I also enjoy reading just a great story regardless of the genre.

What are you working on now?
We’re getting ready to publish three books this summer/fall:
-SUITCASE. THE. CAT. about a cat who has to deal with anxiety and worry, yet also gets into some really crazy adventures. This idea came about in a homeschool lesson with my grandson whom I’ve helped homeschool since 3rd grade. He’s now in 8th….6 years! We offer ways to help young readers deal with their own anxiety and worry through personification, while providing an entertaining, hilarious adventure story.
-Throwing History Under The Bus – a book of hand-drawn cartoon illustrations of the REAL STORY behind ancient history touching on ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. These cartoons were developed on breaks from the ultimate homeschool field trip two years ago to Rome and Greece. We would sit around and make up funny ‘what really happened’ scenarios at meals, while travelling between sites.
-Throwing Reality Under The Bus – a book composed of the same style hand-drawn cartoon illustrations that came about as part of the history book. We split the illustrations into two books with one chapter including the pandemic activities many of us experienced.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use our two children’s book websites and am working to increase their exposure by promoting our books and offering lots of free stuff such as Story Stretchers, videos, puzzles and even an original CAT DICTIONARY.
https://www.atibooks.com
https://www.purrfect-books.com

Do you have any advice for new authors?
For children interested in writing stories and books, I’d encourage them to pick a topic or activity they love and just start to write. Let your writing flow as we do, ignoring typos, grammar, and misspellings. Stopping to fix those stops the creative flow. A good prompt for children’s creative writing is: “What if…?”

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
In reference to creative writing, it was simple: Just write.

What are you reading now?
Lily’s Promise about a woman who survived the Holocaust and found a way to live her life after being rescued. An autobiography co-authored by her grandson.

And just finished, The Humans by Matt Haig. Hillarious take on an alien coming to earth.

What’s next for you as a writer?
After having written a short novel in 2011 and set it aside, I’m now working on preparing it to submit to an editor for additional edits. Upon reading it for the first time since 2015, I am so pleased at the writing style and phrasing, as well as the story itself. My goal is to publish this in late 2022 or early 2023. By the way…I’m a 73 old grandmother who’s a life long learner and realize that the time just wasn’t right to publish this book until now.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
WOW! At this moment, I can’t state a specific title. However, would most likely be a autobiography or biography of an historical figure.

Interview With Author Teresa Cody

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I earned an undergraduate degree at the University of Texas, then my Dental degree at the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston in 1992. The next year my husband and I, also a dentist, bought a practice in Sugar Land, Texas. Through a sequence of extraordinary events in 2018, I discovered the healing power of Platelet Rich Plasma. PRP for short. PRP is found in the plasma portion of the blood. Everyone has this priceless gift, however, most are unaware of its amazing healing powers which lead me to write a book entitled You Healing You. My passion is to introduce others to the multiple health benefits of PRP treatments. In February 2019 I opened C & C Wellness to treat patients with PRP and other natural treatments.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
You Healing You
The powerful healing power of Platelet Rich Plasma inspired me to write this book. It is a description of the journey into learning how PRP can be used for injuries and esthetic treatments. The plasma contains at least 15 growth factors that direct the healing process in the body. We take a small amount of blood and then spin it in a centrifuge. The red blood cells fall to the bottom and the plasma floats on top. The plasma is pipetted off and injected into the injured area (rotator cuff injury, torn ligament, torn tendon for example). The book helps to explain this in detail.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I was very intimidated to even think about writing a book and then I heard an author answer the question how do you write so many books? He answered, I write 200 crappy words a day. I thought I can write 200 crappy words a day. Once I dismissed the editor, words hit the pages.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read mainly scientific books and research articles. This year I have read Vermont Folk Medicine, by D.C. Jarvis, Cancer and Vitamin C by Linus Pauling, and The Fourth Phase of Water by Gerald H. Pollack.

What are you working on now?
I am thinking about a sequel to the first book of stories of the patients treated with Platelet Rich Plasma in their own words.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Lately, I have had the opportunity to be a guest on many podcasts. Having conversations about the miracle of PRP has been the best way to peak peoples interest in reading You Healing You.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not edit when you write. Get it out. I also sought help in the publishing of my book.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I have ever heard is from the book The Four Agreements. 1. Do not assume, 2. Do your best everyday, 3. Do not take anything personally and 4. Use impeccable words.

What are you reading now?
Right now I am reading The Fourth Phase of Water.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I am dedicated to researching past known treatments or medicine that has been forgotten and writing blogs about the discoveries.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would bring practical books on best survival techniques, and best farming practices.

Sherry denBoer 

Interview With Author Sherry denBoer

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now? Do you have any pets?
I was born in Galt, Ontario, Canada. The youngest of four children, at seven, my family moved to Burlington, Ontario, where I spent my teenage years. Out on my own by seventeen, life was no picnic. As my debut novel, REASONS is a creation formed out of the challenges I faced as a young woman; and further enhanced by the lessons I learned. Although the story draws from my life experience, it is a work of fiction.

In my early twenties, I completed post-secondary education in sales and marketing. For years, I enjoyed my work as a Project Manager in both the Exhibit and Signage industries. And for twelve years, I was a partner with my husband in a sign manufacturing company.

I have fond memories of my role as a business owner—but life soon saw me venture onto an alternative career path. I currently live in Peterborough, Ontario, with my husband, Robert (and two cats: Shoelace and Wingnut), where I continue to pursue my writing career.

I have published my debut novel titled: Reasons, Three Lives One Soul, and I’m currently working on a second novel tentatively titled: To Cast a Shadow, and a non-fiction book tentatively titled: 42 days of isolation—lessons learned for a lifetime of happiness

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My life experience as a teenager and young woman inspired Reasons: Three Lives One Soul. Although the story draws from my experience as a victim of intimate partner abuse, it is a fictional story—that includes some magical realism and is a story about second chances, renewal, and hope.

Here’s the book’s description:

Combining wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, Reasons tells the touching story of Reason who, shown to us as a teenager, an elderly woman, and at thirty-five, yearns to leave her troubled past behind and to live without shame and fear. Her quest will lead her to a magical land, thrilling encounters with peculiar guides, a terrifying test, and a transformation far more remarkable than she ever thought possible. Reason’s journey shows us there’s wisdom in introspection and serves as a great reminder that people will help us along the way if we slow down and listen.

REASONS follows three versions of the heroine—each an independent life, all three forever linked.

ONE: As a troubled teenager, Reason starts a new life after escaping an abusive relationship—only to fall victim to the same man when he kidnaps her.

TWO: As an elderly woman, Reason approaches the end of her life—and struggles with Pain while searching for hope after trauma.

THREE: As a 35-year-old, Reason is led by a Raven into a mysterious world where she embarks on a quest with peculiar guides. As the guides clandestinely prepare her for the Stickman, a spine-chilling creature born of her fear, Reason tells her story.
Given a chance to reconcile her painful history, she wrestles with its ruthless effects. But success will mean reliving every detail… and conquering her fear.
If she can endure, a marvelous discovery awaits, and with it, an opportunity to meet with the younger and older versions of herself—and a chance to save them all.

The reader is transported into the heroine’s story—into a part whimsical, part dark, and emotionally intense journey. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming, the story is thoughtful, inspiring, and relevant to today’s world. It is philosophical while allowing for differing belief systems. A story of hope, the novel doesn’t shy away from the dark side of human nature—to show and courageously face that which, for some of us, is the tragedy that leads to self-realization and renewal. The story mirrors real life with its adventure, uncertainty, failures, triumphs, and discoveries—while also including a wee bit of magic. It’s not the magic of wizards and witches and such, but the existential mysteries of life that, while defying explanation, spur us forward into second chances and new beginnings.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I do not think so…

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My book genre preferences are as wide as my imagination, as are my author preferences. When I was a teenager, I read Stephen King’s books. One day, I found Mila 18 by Leon Uris; that book moved me. It may have been the first time I cried while reading a novel. I’ve read many, many books; I can’t remember them all.

Another book that moved me deeply is Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky. Other favorites of mine are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (which inspired my wish to create novels about hope and renewal), Dracula by Bram Stoker (which is delightfully creepy), and Pilgrim by Timothy Findley (which stirred in me a lean toward the metaphysical). And I’d be remiss not to include War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (which took a long time to read) and The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky (which, like War and Peace, is an exquisite study on how to write about humanity, character, and emotion). This list, a brief look into my reading, should prove that my tastes are certainly eclectic. If a book is engaging for me, I’ll read it cover to cover no matter the genre.

What are you working on now?
I have tentatively named my latest novel To Cast a Shadow. One day, I was worried about my husband becoming ill during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I feared life without him, wondering how I would ever live without him. From there, the story of my next novel came alive.

The inspiration for the non-fiction book I am writing comes from my experience of being isolated in my bedroom for 42 days at the beginning of the pandemic. The act of isolating started as a scary and overwhelming experience but became a retreat of sorts; it became a lesson in mindfulness, patience, and compassion. I ended up with a stack of notes, and ideas collected after hours of reading, watching and listening to free online offerings about mindfulness, resilience, compassion, and much more. When I crossed the threshold between my bedroom and the rest of the house, I had a stack of notes, and my take on them. I am writing a book about the experience to share what I had learned.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This, for me, is an ongoing process.

I created an author platform while I was still writing Reasons, and since publishing the novel, I am continuing to build my author presence.

My author platform so far includes my website where I promote my work and author a blog, a Facebook author page, a presence on Twitter, and author pages on Amazon, Goodreads, and Bookbub.

I have also read much material about book marketing and have taken part in online courses about book ads and promotion.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. Write. Write. Edit later. Get the story formed first and fix it later.

Believe in yourself. Trust yourself.

Do not be afraid to share your work with other writers and to take part in a critique group or exchange work with a critique partner. This is a worthy step and will improve your manuscript.

Set up ARC readers well ahead of your publishing date. Those readers need time to read your book and plan a review. Reviews are critical and hard to get.

Before you publish, make your book the best it can be. Be patient. Edit. Edit. Edit.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write first. Edit later.

What are you reading now?
I just finished reading Conclave by Robert Harris, and am now on a non-fiction kick reading: Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words by David Whyte, The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker, Ask the Awakened by Wei Wu Wei, and Rainer Maria Rilke edited and translated by Stephen Mitchell.

What’s next for you as a writer?
As a newly published author, I work on marketing my current book, Reasons… while also drafting a second standalone novel and a non-fiction book.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Heart Aroused by David Whyte.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
And… a big, blank book (and a box of pencils).

Ava Page 

Interview With Author Ava Page

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi,
I’m Ava and published my first book THICK AS WATER in July of 2021. My next book (a thriller) will be due out in August of 2022.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The book currently out is THICK AS WATER, and it was inspired by how freely we give our information over to the Internet.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write in spurts, with a candle, and in absolute silence. I’m a talkative person, but when I’m writing I need complete quiet – not even music. I always write during the day, never at night.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Jodi Picoult. I love how she can take a controversial topic and use fiction to have the reader consider all points of view. We could use more of standing in someone else’s shoes.

What are you working on now?
Finishing up my latest release – coming in August.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Instagram and Facebook sites. But I’m exploring other avenues as well (Goodreads, promotion sites, StoryOrigin, and more).

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just WRITE. Each release you’ll learn something new and can layer in more. But you can’t market anything if you’re always planning to write. Just do it.

Also – save money for an editor – there will be no money better spent!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage – Anais Nin

What are you reading now?
Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker (book club selection)

What’s next for you as a writer?
Releasing my thriller in August, and outlining the next book. Also, learning about the marketing side of things for books – I thought writing a book was difficult, but marketing is a whole new ball game.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
This is a terribly hard question!

A book on survival (must include what plants are poisonous, how to make a fire, survive from the elements, and predators, etc.)
Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales
Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life (because I would really need to figure out how to meditate properly so I didn’t walk into the ocean and feed myself to the sharks)
The largest notebook I could find the included a writing utensil

Kaitlyn Melody Klingensmith 

Interview With Author Kaitlyn Melody Klingensmith

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Kaitlyn, and I’m from Massachusetts. I currently live in Mexico, where I work as a librarian and a teacher. I’ve written lots of books, but Daughter of Olympus: Gods and Monsters is the first book I’ve ever published. I have ten brothers and sisters, and a wonderful little dog named Isabella. During my free time, I love to read, write, and Italian.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest (and right now only) book is called Daughter of Olympus: Gods and Monsters. I’ve been fascinated with Greek mythology for as long as I can remember, but I’ve always felt frustrated with the selfish behavior and misogyny amongst the Olympians. When I was thirteen, I decided to change that by writing my own version of events, so drafted Daughter of Olympus.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure if this is unusual, but I’m a binge writer. I have bipolar disorder, so I do most of my writing when I’m manic. I can go for months without writing anything, and then write nonstop for days.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Harry Potter! I learned to read later than most of my peers, and I thought I disliked reading until I discovered Harry Potter. It opened up a whole new world for me, where I could escape from my problems with a good book. J.K. Rowling got me reading, and inspired me to be a writer one day.

What are you working on now?
I’m working on two things right now! One is a rhyming children’s book called “Unicorns don’t wear pants,” and I’m also working on the second book in my Daughter of Olympus series.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m new to promoting, so I don’t have a real method or website I’ve found reliable yet. I’m hoping Awesome Gang can help me with that!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write! It doesn’t matter if you think people will like your work or not, just put your story out there. When we write, we can make anything happen.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’s very cliché and overused, but my mom is always telling me to follow my heart. So far, I’ve never gone wrong by doing that.

What are you reading now?
I try to read books in various languages at one time, to help me practice. Right now I’m Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë in English, and Il trono di fuoco (The throne of fire) by Rick Riordan in Italian.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m not really sure, but I’m taking a sabbatical from my job next year to focus on my writing, so I’m really hoping to finish Daughter of Olympus: Poseidon’s Gift.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Tess of the D’Urbervilles, by Thomas Hardy, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, by J.K. Rowling, The Red Pyramid, by Rick Riordan, and Dime Quien Soy, by Julia Navarro.

Varvara Krasneva 

Interview With Author Varvara Krasneva

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
By the end of high school, due to parents’ work, Varvara Krasneva had lived in three different continents, four countries, eight cities, and changed seven schools. Throughout these moves, Varvara has always continued to snowboard even at an indoor hill in the United Arab Emirates. Yet, snowboarding at the local mountains near Vancouver is her favorite place to ride. The Canadian author has done competitive slopestyle snowboarding since she was nine years old, competing at Provincial and National levels in Canada. Varvara is also a graduate of Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Snowboarding and psychology continuously accompany her in her writing. Varvara Krasneva has published the book “Teenage Dream”, although she loves to write many other stories that she does not publish.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book is called “Teenage Dream”. Spending time with Vancouver teenagers inspired the author to write the book, although the idea for the story existed long ago when the author herself was a teenager.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Varvara enjoys the question “what if?” The different characters in the book “Teenage Dream” exemplify this habit. These characters answer the author’s imaginary “what if?” questions in different ways throughout the book.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The author Dr. Seuss has influenced Varvara Krasneva. He is an example of patience and commitment to writing, as well as determination to achieve success.

What are you working on now?
Author is working on a long term non-fiction project.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Author promotes books through Instagram: @adventurousvarvara

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just let go… It is all in your mind…

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“With no expectation, there is no disappointment.”

What are you reading now?
Author is reading some of the fiction by Wilbur Smith.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Let the imagination take over and just write something new.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The author would bring to the desert island the Ulysses Moore book series by the Italian author Pierdomenico Baccalario.

IB Holder 

Interview With Author IB Holder

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a bit of a recluse. I don’t like crowds of people, but I do have an affinity for animals of all types. Put me in a pen with fifteen golden retriever puppies and I will not bother you until next March. I have written three books. I am recording the second one now. It is a follow up to Ransom X.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Blood Expressionist is my latest book. It will be published in June. When I say published, I mean that it will be available on all formats for download. It was inspired by the need to follow up Ransom X and see how the main characters developed. I also have a close connection to the art world through my friends at Cal Arts. It was fun making a murderer from the building blocks of an artist.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write in the cold sometimes. I’ll go to the ice rink and sit with my laptop. There will be pucks flying as I revise.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Arthur Conan Doyle, Dick Francis, James Joyce to name a few. I also like Issac Asimov quite a bit if I’m in the Sci-Fi section. Shuggie Bain is something new. I lived in Scotland for a tick and it made me interested in fiction based in the area.

What are you working on now?
Personal sanity. Along with that I’m writing a book about kids who have no boundaries and figure that out at the worst possible time in their lives.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I like to drop my books off of large buildings and hope that the people below catch them.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do the audiobook for your novel before you publish. I found that reading my work out loud meant that I had to concentrate on each sentence in a way that my reading style does not always demonstrate. It’s not something I’d advise in the early stages, but right before you put out the work, read it for the public.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Kids think you’re stupid. Use that against them.

What are you reading now?
Shuggie Bain.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Dereliction of duty, illicit affairs, drunken nights and useless self-promotion.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would probably bring survival books and books that gave step-by-step instructions on how to get off of a desert island.

Joseph Ganci 

Interview With Author Joseph Ganci

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in Beth-Israel Hospital, N.Y., at a very early age. I am the firstborn so dedicated to God by the laws of Israel, and I am the son of Joseph and Rosemary (so now you can say you have met Rosemary’s baby. Lol ) I am a confirmed Levite and Highpriest. I am a combat vet that served in Vietnam. I am currently residing in Huston, Texas. There are only two reasons you live in Houston: money or family unless you are an alligator. I have fathered five beautiful daughters and five grandchildren, the jewels in an older man’s crown. I have written two books to date. Gideon The Sound and The Glory and the first Sequel David God’s Chosen Crucible, initiating The Kingdom of Israel series.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
David God’s Chosen Crucible. A dear friend and a voracious reader asked after reading what comes next and since Gideon is in five parts with David rounding it out it seemed a natural to continue on. You can’t bring to life David in one book, Samuel could not do it either, so Im working on the next in the series Second David Trials and Tribulations and if I live so long the last in the series will be, Solomon, Wine, Women, and Song.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Sporadic, it takes me a while to settle in even though the story lay before me.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Melville, Steinbeck, Mark Twain, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word was the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”

What are you working on now?
Second David Trials and Tribulations.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Gideonsglory.com and Amazon

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write the next book and enjoy the ride even though the financial dividends might be meager. Time takes time, and you improve your craft with every keystroke

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The biggest enemy to a writer is distraction

What’s next for you as a writer?
Joseph Heller, God knows

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Bible, Moby Dick, and how to build a raft from scratch

Jason Boyce 

Interview With Author Jason Boyce

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I grew up in Birmingham, UK, and moved to London after college to become a commercial real estate consultant. I contracted a nasty virus that I thought was the flu, that kept me in bed for over three weeks. It was soon apparent that I never really recovered from this virus. I started to feel really tired by midday, every day, to the point where my work suffered. During this period, my wife, Sarah, was offered an executive position with a pharmaceutical company in New Jersey, so we moved to the States where I worked from home as an equity trader. The shorter hours were more suited to my energy levels, but it was clear that my health was in a slow decline. We eventually moved to San Diego, California because the weather was more conducive to my health. I guess you could call it a blessing in disguise because my poor health led me to become an author and instigated my first book.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book is called “Chronic Fatigue Gone! A Recovery Plan for COVID Long Haul, ME/CFS, Lyme & Fibromyalgia (And for Anyone Who Wants More Energy)”, which is now available on Amazon. This book was written through sheer necessity, as it became apparent that I had chronic fatigue syndrome. I saw lots of doctors and tried lots of medications, all to no avail. My choices were to either live in my bedroom for the rest of my life or to do something about it. I decided to do the latter. I did a lot of research over several years and tried hundreds of medication and therapy combinations. It took a long time, but I figured out what works and what doesn’t. I’ve come up with a combination of different therapies that can actually relieve chronic fatigue, and I want to share that knowledge with others.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, sometimes when I have bouts of insomnia, I get up in the middle of the night and use the voice recorder on my phone to record ideas for the book. Sometimes I record some great insightful stuff and other times, not so much.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
In the last few years, I have generally read non-fiction books. I love reading books about the future and my favorite author is Ray Kurzweil. I like to know what the world will look like in 30 or 40 years. Will we be carried around in automated drones? Will all diseases be conquered? Will aging be reversed? The potential answers to these questions sometimes keep me awake! I also love anything by Malcolm Gladwell, as his insights into why humans do the things they do are fascinating.

What are you working on now?
When I was writing Chronic Fatigue Gone! COVID happened, so I had to re-write the book to include therapies, medication, and supplements that can remedy long COVID. As more and more knowledge about long COVID becomes apparent, I have started to gather more information on new medications and therapies that can resolve all the awful symptoms of long COVID. So the book I am currently working on is more detailed and focused only on long COVID and is called “Long COVID Gone! A Complete Recovery Plan for Long COVID”.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My website is https://chronicfatiguegone.com/

Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you want to write something great, then ensure that the subject is an all-consuming passion. If it’s non-fiction, make sure that you are 100% invested in the subject matter. Learning about different types of therapies was my whole life for at least seven years! It completely consumed me, to the point where the book became easy to write. If it’s fiction, write about what you know. Make sure places in the book are familiar to you. Make sure characters have traits that you have experienced in your life with others. By using your own experience will carry the reader through the pages and provides a general air of authenticity. The reader will sense that something is amiss if your murder novel is set in Rome and you’ve never been there.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I have always been fond of short, positive quotes. I have started every chapter in the book with an inspirational quote. My favorite in the book is “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” By Henry Ford. But as far as advice goes, you can’t beat old Confucious who said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

What are you reading now?
“The Glutathione Revolution, Fight Disease, Slow Aging and Increase Energy with the Master
Antioxidant,” by Nayan Patel. An excellent book that provides a very comprehensive look at glutathione, which is one of the key therapies discussed in my book. I nebulize glutathione every day and it helps to keep all the environmental toxins at bay.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m working on “Gone!” Series. So, after Long COVID Gone! I’m planning on working on Chronic Depression Gone! I’ve learned a lot about battling depression on my journey and have a chapter in the book entitled, “Conquer Depression First.” I’m keen to expand all I’ve learned over the years about beating depression.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would take “The Power of Positive Thinking”, by Norman Vincent Peale, Possibly the greatest self-help book of all time. I think I’d need that great book to stay positive through the lonely days. Also “Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful drivers”, by Rob Grant. My favorite comedy book is about the last human alive and his adventures through deep space. Based on the UK TV sitcom, this is one of the few books that makes me laugh out loud and would certainly help keep my spirits up. I would also take “Transcend: 9 Steps to Living Well Forever,” by Ray Kurweil and Terry Grossman. This book would remind me of the bright future for the human race and make me want to survive long enough to see it. As a cheat, I would also take any book that details how to build a raft without tools!

Nick Jamieson 

Interview With Author Nick Jamieson

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, everyone. My name’s Nick Jamieson. I live in Australia, and work multiple interesting jobs, as a way of keeping my fiction fresh and engaging. I’ve written many books in my life, but my most recent, ‘Blood Ever Afer’ and ‘Death Ever After’, took me over eight years to complete. Eight years of redrafting, rethinking, and reshaping. The result? Well, hopefully, you can tell me ….

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled Blood Ever After. It’s about a boy travelling home through a post-apocalyptic world in search of his parents, and the emotional and physical consequences of this. I was inspired by a river near where I live, thinking what if this were a haunted river, and what if what haunted it, one day returned to this world ….

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write most days, but then I’m likely to have a few months off, just living. I believe living is one of the most important ingredients of good fiction writing. Some would argue that simply reading and writing is all you need to do, but I like to visit real people, write about real places, and write about real experiences (shaped in an imaginary world).

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Stephen King. All his books, especially The Stand.

What are you working on now?
I’m editing Death Ever After, the sequel to Blood Ever After. Soon I will be writing my next story and I look forward to moving on from Blood Ever After.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m just starting out, but I believe my YouTube channel could be good fun. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeiwJ5c2e6CWWAKXAGwXvYQ

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Sure, stick with it, write for the long haul, and don’t give up. You’ll find your process one day; don’t rush. I’m still finding my process. It gets easier, and it makes sense more over time …..

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Stephen King’s On Writing, which is to write 2000 words each day.

What are you reading now?
Stephen King’s ‘Cujo’. I love that I still have some of his older books I have never ever read …..

What’s next for you as a writer?
To have a break. To ‘unlearn’ how I write, and reassess myself as a writer, and as a human. Blood Ever After took 8 years of my life, made me start to dislike writing, and increased my overall anxiety. I believe the book is evil, and I don’t know if I should publish it. (I bet now you are interested ….) At least with self-publishing, I can remove it when and if I want. Not that I am going to. But I might.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Blank ones. (Surely the best answer ever ….)

Steven Spence 

Interview With Author Steven Spence

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an Air Force veteran and now a real estate investor. I had a learning curve to master with the financial system while growing my investment business. I learned so much (in my 50s) that did not agree with what I thought I knew. One thing leads to another, and ultimately peeked behind the financial curtain and saw the game that is played that most of us working class people have no idea of. Not having a solid platform to let people know, I wrote my book.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of the book is: Money Plain and Simple; What the Institutions and the Elite Don’t Want You to Know. As an educator, one realizes that there has to be a systematic process to learning a subject. My book is written for the ordinary person to build the basics of the subject of Economics in a ‘everyone needs to know this’ way. I kept the book very short and simple to break this complex topic doable for most people.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write how I think. Sometimes, I think faster than I can type and when I go back to re-read, I wonder how I mess up! Some of the book had to have researched information and I knew what I wanted to communicate, then researched the subject to provide the necessary facts and filled in the blanks.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Holy Bible
Robert Kiyosaki; Rich Dad, Poor Dad & Fake
George S. Clason; The Richest Man in Babylon

What are you working on now?
We are working on the message of the book in different languages. We just released the book in Spanish; Dinero, Simple Y Sencillo that has been released 25 March. We are in the editing phase of the book in Portuguese (Dinheiro, Direto & Reto) and hope to have it available by mid-summer.
Additionally, I blog weekly to explain the economy as it affects the ordinary person.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
www.moneyplainandsimplebook.com is the best way. From there, one can download the first chapter of the book and purchase if so desired. My blogging page is there as well with plenty of content that is in the plain and simple format.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write your book! I found that as a new author, I needed more and hired a book coach. They are very reasonable and will help you take your book to the level that is needed for others to enjoy.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I have come up with my own wisdom phrase and it is: “Be humble and always remain teachable”. I have learned that I don’t know everything and if I think I know something, I could be wrong. That is tough to acknowledge about yourself.

What are you reading now?
The Wealthy Gardener by John Soforic

What’s next for you as a writer?
My mission is to warn people of the dangers of our monetary system. I will speak, blog and translate this message to get it to everyone around the world.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Holy Bible
Survival: How to Survive on a Deserted Island: Survival Island Guide Handbook 101

Susan Hopkins 

Interview With Author Susan Hopkins

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve made so many wrong choices in my life, made so many stupid mistakes – haven’t we all. I would give anything if I could press ‘rewind’ and ‘do over’. I realize, as I sit here looking at the dust on the skeletons in my closet, that my life story is not a pretty picture. I know I can’t turn the pages of a ‘choose your own adventure’ book, go back and make a different choice and see where I would be today. So, all I can do is embrace ‘me,’ the good, the bad and the ugly and turn it over to God, my heavenly Father, my higher power, so He can take ‘my ugly’ and turn it into something beautiful for someone else. Maybe you too can learn from my mistakes and make a choice to walk down a different road. I hope so.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I am a senior citizen and I am living my dream. I have always wanted to write and now I have two published titles on Amazon, and three journals. In 2021, I published my first book entitled: SPIRITUAL HEALING: When there are no known medical solutions, dare to believe that all things are possible for the Great Physician. I overcame perfectionism by just getting it out there, but I knew it wasn’t all I wanted it to be. After having it professionally critiqued, I revised the cover, the title, and added about 80 more pages of more detailed and personal information. I am well pleased with this book and have since republished it as a revised version.

I have lived a life and then some. I have an intimate relationship with my heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit and in simple faith asked Holy Spirit to teach me about healing of the mind, soul, body and spirit and so He did. The book is full of stories of healings and miracles that have become an everyday occurrence in my life. I want my reader to know that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. So many churches teach that healing is not for today and I want them to know the truth.

MY JOURNEY TO FREEDOM from abuse, codependency, faulty beliefs about Christianity to a personal encounter with the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD, [Book One], focuses on the time period from April 1970, one month before my sixteenth birthday, to April 1980, one month before my twenty-sixth birthday. On April 18, 1970, I walked down the aisle at a Faith at Work Conference, invited Jesus into my heart and gave my life to God. On April 25, 1980, I renounced Christianity as I knew it, had a personal encounter where I received an invitation to become a disciple of Jesus, was baptized in the Holy Spirit, and introduced to my heavenly Father.

If I knew then what I know now is the name of my website, and I use this term many times during the introduction as I attempt to teach my reader the difference between religion and true Christianity. During my encounter, my heavenly Father told me that all He had ever wanted me to be was ‘myself’ and so I left the church that day with the intention to do just that. It’s been an interesting journey!

MY JOURNEY TO FREEDOM from guilt, shame and trying to be ‘good enough,’ to living and resting in the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD [Book Two] will focus on lessons learned as a new creature in Christ, a baby Christian learning to walk as one led by the Holy Spirit, as a born-again, spirit-filled daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Immediately after my encounter, my husband and I, with three children under the age of four, moved into an unfinished home, in an unorganized township, where we had no running water, plumbing, telephone, electricity and very little money.

When we drove in the lane God told me that He was taking me into a concentration camp experience. I was not impressed and asked if I was going to lose my faith. He answered, “Did Corrie Ten Boom lose her faith in the concentration camps?” I replied, “No, her faith grew stronger.” “Exactly,” He responded and that was that. I have many a story to share about the years we spent living on this property, farming the old-fashioned way with wood heat, Naptha gas lights, propane fridge and stove, chickens in my living room, stooking sheaves, antiquated equipment and a thrashing mill. It was a walk of faith to be sure. It is my hope this book will be released in 2022 and I can’t wait to get it finished.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My Journey to Freedom [Book One] is written hand-in-hand with Holy Spirit …

When I started to put pen to paper, I felt strongly that my part was to write my story, and the Holy Spirit’s role would be to teach both you and me. Believe me, I have been more surprised than anyone with some of the truths He has taught me as I wrote this book. When He gave me the title headings, my mind would be filled with ideas and scriptures that I thought should be in the chapter. I would be ‘chomping at the bit’ to write and Holy Spirit would ask me not to because there was too much of ‘me’ that would influence the direction of the chapter … and so I waited.

I had to learn how to write as directed by Holy Spirit. First, He instructed me to just sit and write my thoughts according to the title given to me for the first chapter. At the end of this exercise, I expressed my disgust and discouragement confiding in Holy Spirit that I felt what I wrote was lifeless and boring and that no one would want to read what I had written. He said to me, “That’s okay, now I will take what you have written, and I will turn it into something that not only will people want to read, but the words within these pages will transform their hearts and minds.”

So, we began to put this book together. The chapters are my stories in somewhat chronological order with scriptures and/or other quoted material to support the text. Sometimes I would find myself stepping into His role – making a statement that would cement the lesson I had learned so my reader would understand. Almost immediately, I would find myself unable to write. It’s as if someone had turned off the tap and my thoughts simply stopped flowing. Then I would remove the sentence where I had over-stepped, and the thoughts would start flowing again.

I know that since I am an organized person with a basic ability to write that I could have drafted a table of contents and written this book, but without Holy Spirit it would have been of ‘me,’ or what is commonly referred to in the Bible as ‘works of the flesh,’ which would not benefit anyone. For this reason, I encourage my reader to ask God for discernment and wisdom as they read because I am human and like anyone else can make mistakes. In addition, because we cannot grasp spiritual truths with our natural mind, I trust that my reader will prayerfully seek God’s help to understand the truths I have shared.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
At the beginning of every chapter, in My Journey to Freedom [Book One], there is an introduction. I have never seen a book written this way. However, it seemed important to Holy Spirit that certain spiritual truths be introduced to prepare the heart and mind of the reader to absorb the content of the actual chapter. I find these truths connect each chapter in a way I never dreamt possible.

At the end of every chapter there is a section called ‘meaningful reflection’ where Holy Spirit gives me liberty to step out of the time frame of the story and share life experiences and/or other information to support the topic addressed in the chapter. Thought-provoking questions make up a good portion of this section.

In addition, I recommend books, movies, YouTube videos, and/or a variety of online resources which I have come to trust because I know these will help the reader to better understand the spiritual truths being taught. If any material was quoted during the text, then the endnotes finish off the chapter.

With both the Spiritual Healing book, and this one, I indent scripture references, use bold chapter headings frequently throughout the text of each chapter, and bold words within the text to highlight certain truths. I also choose to add space between each line and use larger font. I had no idea how all of this would impact my readers who are seniors who struggle to read books when the font is too small.

In addition, several friends who struggle with severe ADHD have raved about the fact that the style of writing described above, and the content itself, helps them to be able to read when they simply cannot maintain attention on a page with too many words. They tell me once they start reading they can’t put the book down, because their brain is constantly stimulated and keeps them engaged, so that excites me.

I have spent the majority of my Christian life ministering to those who are outside of the walls of organized religion. I have been called a “normie who cares” by many in addictions and recovery. That means I am a normal person – I have never smoked, gotten drunk, taken illicit drugs, and I love them unconditionally where most of the time they feel judged and put down by church-goers and religious people. I will do whatever I can to give these precious individuals a voice because they have lived lives that you and I could never imagine and they deserve to be recognized for all they have accomplished. Most have never known the love and support from family and association with others until they found their way into twelve-step recovery groups and treatment centers. The lessons they have taught me are plentiful. I will do what I can to give back. They are the people who have inspired me to love as God loves.

What are you working on now?
Right now I am focused on learning how to market what I have written. I have created an effective website, designed a business Pinterest page, and will soon be producing a series videos for my YouTube channel. I have been attending seminars, webinars and summits for years and it’s time to start implementing what I have been learning. Believe me it was more interesting to sit and listen, than to tackle the technical issues I am facing every day since I made that decision. However, I am always thrilled when I am able to master the challenge of the day. I am almost 70 and wish there were more hours in a day because I simply cannot do as much as I could in my earlier days.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I was going to invest in Amazon Ads but decided not to. Using promotional sites like Awesome Gang (I think this one is the best yet and I am not just saying that for brownie points), Bargain Booksy, The Fussy Librarian, BookLuver.com (a close second) are so much less expensive and are helping me to reach a very targeted audience.

My Journey to Freedom books are written for women who have and are still walking a similar journey to mine – abuse, codependency, and faulty beliefs about submission and expectations of women who keep them in prisons without bars. Not everyone wants to read a book supported by scripture references. So these venues give me a better way to find the right kind of reader for my style of writing.

I have spoken with the executive director of a local women’s shelter. She has purchased my book, first for herself, and then to see how she can promote me as a speaker. In my current promotion, I am donating all profits from the sale of the sale of the paperback book to a charity in Pakistan for women. I am encouraging people to buy a book, even if they don’t want to read it, to support them, and then donate it to a local women’s shelter. I have produced a companion journal and an ebook and these will be priced at 99 cents during the promotional period.

I really like GoDaddy for my Website. It is affordable, easy to build and navigate, provides protection and security, supports an email marketing campaign with analytics, and I am able to add PayPal as a method of payment on my site. My monthly cost is in the neighborhood of $75 a month and that’s an amazing cost when you think of what websites can charge. I am using Google classroom for a course I created and this is also available for less than $10 a month.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
I will answer this question in a round about way, but basically I would encourage new authors to self-publish using Amazon to get started. The support staff have been amazing, have answered every question I have asked and I could upload and upload and upload until I had perfected the manuscript or the cover to meet their requirements.

I have created a course called Let’s Write Your Testimony. I had a guinea pig student who wanted to take the course while I was creating it and I was thrilled to have her feedback. She tells me it was so beneficial to her that she paid me even though I wasn’t asking for payment. Since then she has been inspired to start writing her own book and has three chapters done. One piece of advice I found invaluable that I passed on to her, is not to edit while you are writing. One must simply allow the free flow of ideas and deal with editing later.

For those who enroll in my four-week course, I will produce an anthology called Stories of Hope so they can have an opportunity to build a writing portfolio. I would suggest to any writer that submitting their work to an anthology is a great way to get started, to get recognition, and all of the contributing authors will shares in the marketing so again that is a great way to build an email list and a following.

I asked a friend of mine to write the preface for My Journey to Freedom [Book Two] because he has an amazing story of recovery. He was so excited about being asked to do this, that once he started putting pen to paper he has kept writing and intends to write his own full length book.

So now that I have mastered how to do my own book covers, how to create an ePUB file to produce an ebook for Amazon KDP, and how to produce a PDF using Word to meet the requirements of producing a paperback book, I can’t wait to help others get published too. I have acquired every tool I need and will be glad to share what I have learned and help those who want to self-publish. In addition, soon I will be able to pass on the pros and cons I have learned while promoting my books.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I woke from a dream the other day so I began to journal what I believe will be the last chapter of My Journey to Freedom [Book Two]. The most important lesson I have learned during my lifetime, is to take life one day at a time, often one step at a time. I seldom know the destination, but as I take one step in the direction I want to go in, the next step will unfold before me. If I choose not to take that step, the next step remains hidden and elusive. I also feel it is necessary to prepare one to expect setbacks and difficulties because this journey of life requires patience and perseverance and I wouldn’t want to see them quit before reaching their goal.

I was taught how to play an online solitaire game called Eight Off. The person who taught me always dealt another hand if the aces or smaller cards were at the top of the pile because he knew he would not be able to beat the game. I have learned how to beat that particular game regardless of how difficult the cards appear to be. It is reinforced learning whenever I need to remind myself that if I just play the next combination of cards in front of me, even if it doesn’t make any sense to the end result, I almost always beat the game. The principle really works!!

What are you reading now?
My mind never stops, although I have quiet times when I sit and pray. I will start watching a Christian program and my mind starts downloading information for another chapter in a variety of books that are on my mind to write. I try to shut down my thoughts and watch a movie after 9 p.m. and the movies I choose are a treasure chest of information that will probably find their way into a meaningful reflection for the next book. I read and listen to other writers and learn from their writing and publishing experiences. I read countless pages of information about every book promotion I am interested in investing in. I journal extensively and take notes when I am listening to others sharing their stories. I collect books like someone else collects candy and will never have enough time to read them all. I love my life – it is full and abundant.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I recently moved to be close to my aging mother when her partner died. I have chosen to get rid of most of my material possessions and am living in a room in a large home with four college students. We are an all girl house and the girls are studious and respectful and we are amazed that we all get along so well. I do what I can to nurture them, provide rides when necessary, keep the house tidy, but otherwise make sure I mind my own business. Their parents are very happy to have a responsible adult in the home.

So I spend the majority of my time in my room focused on writing and publishing and marketing. I want to write a book to teach churches how to give a hand up versus a hand out which would revamp the way they handle their food banks.

I have a six month program to help Christian leaders bridge the gap between those inside and those outside the walls of the church and keep everyone safe in the process. This will become a course or a book or both because it seems the best way to market each module.

I can’t wait to create my own audiobooks because I am missing an entire group of people by not having this option for them.

In addition, after My Journey to Freedom [Book Two], I am going to start writing in a workbook fashion so my readers do not become dependent on me but rather learn how to hear the voice of God for themselves and find their own unique journey rather than trying to emulate mine.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Gosh, I would so miss the internet! I would have to bring a Bible and a concordance to help me find scripture references. Then I would bring pen and paper so I could make use of that quiet, undistracted time to write my own books.
