Interview With Author Alecia Hill
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello, I’m Alecia Hill, an author passionate about weaving tales that explore love, self-discovery, and spiritual growth. Among my collection of books, you’ll find “Lost in the Shadows,” a mysterious journey unfolding in the shadows of the human experience; “Crowned by Love,” a tale delving into the transformative power of love; “Married Celibate and Saved,” an exploration of relationships and faith; and “Single Celibate and Saved,” a guide to navigating the single life with grace and purpose. With each book, my goal is to inspire readers to live authentically, embrace love, and find salvation in their personal journeys. I’m dedicated to using my unique voice to make a lasting impact on those seeking inspiration and enlightenment.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“The Intuitive Way,” draws its inspiration from a deep fascination with the untapped potential of intuition and its profound impact on our lives. Penned by Penney Peirce, the book serves as a guiding light for individuals seeking to harness the power of their innate intuitive abilities in navigating the complexities of the modern world. Intrigued by Peirce’s insights into the realms of energy, consciousness, and heightened perception, I found inspiration in the practical wisdom she imparts. “The Intuitive Way” not only offers practical exercises to develop intuition but also weaves a narrative that encourages readers to trust their inner guidance. In a world often dominated by logic and rationality, Peirce’s work serves as a refreshing reminder of the transformative potential that lies within our intuitive selves, sparking a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No, not really.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The authors and books that have influenced me span a diverse range of genres and perspectives. Don Campbell’s work, particularly his book “The Mozart Effect,” has been inspirational in highlighting the profound impact of music on the human mind and creativity. Penney Peirce’s books, such as “Frequency” and “The Intuitive Way,” have deepened my understanding of intuition and the power of tapping into one’s inner wisdom. Jamal Harrison Bryant’s writings, especially those centered around spiritual and motivational themes, have resonated with me for their uplifting and empowering messages.
These authors have collectively contributed to my appreciation for the arts, intuition, and personal growth. Their insights and perspectives have played a role in shaping my own approach to writing and the exploration of diverse topics. I draw inspiration from their ability to convey complex ideas in accessible and meaningful ways, which has motivated me to communicate my own ideas effectively in my writing.
What are you working on now?
Currently, I’m immersed in the exciting journey of crafting a book that delves into the intricate realm of turning one’s talent into a multimillion-dollar business. The pages are alive with strategies, anecdotes, and practical insights gathered from my own experiences and those of successful entrepreneurs. It’s not just a guide; it’s a roadmap, offering readers a blueprint to navigate the challenges and capitalize on their unique skills. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to unlock their full potential, seize opportunities, and transform their talents into thriving ventures. From cultivating the right mindset to leveraging digital platforms, each chapter is a step toward realizing the dream of not just monetizing a talent but building a sustainable, lucrative enterprise. Writing this book is an exhilarating endeavor, and I can’t wait to share these transformative insights with fellow dreamers and doers.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
In my journey as an author, I’ve found social media to be an invaluable tool for promoting my books. Platforms like Instagram and Twitter allow me to connect directly with my readers, sharing snippets of my writing process, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging in meaningful conversations. The instant feedback and sense of community fostered through these platforms have been instrumental in creating a dedicated readership. Additionally, maintaining an author website has proven crucial. Not only does it serve as a centralized hub for my work, but it also provides a professional space where readers can learn more about me, access exclusive content, and easily find information about my latest releases. The website acts as a dynamic tool, complementing my social media efforts and offering a more comprehensive experience for those interested in my writing journey.
As I navigate the ever-evolving landscape of book promotion, I’ve discovered the power of book promotion websites. Platforms like BookBub have provided me with targeted exposure to a broader audience. By strategically leveraging these services, I’ve been able to secure discounted promotions, reaching readers who might not have discovered my work otherwise. The increased visibility on these popular book promotion platforms has translated into heightened book sales and garnered attention from readers who are genuinely interested in my genre. The combination of social media engagement, a well-maintained author website, and strategic use of book promotion websites has been my winning formula for reaching and resonating with a diverse and enthusiastic readership.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
To aspiring authors embarking on the exhilarating journey of bringing words to life, my advice is to cultivate patience, perseverance, and passion. Writing is a craft that evolves with time and practice, so be patient with yourself and the process. Embrace rejection as a stepping stone toward improvement, and let it fuel your determination rather than dampen your spirits. Persevere through the inevitable challenges; the first draft may not be perfect, but it’s a crucial starting point. Allow your passion for storytelling to be your guiding force—write about topics that ignite your enthusiasm, and your authenticity will resonate with readers. Stay open to feedback, continually refine your skills, and remember that every word you pen is a step forward in your writing journey. Most importantly, savor the joy of creating, and let your unique voice shine through. The world awaits the magic only you can weave with your words.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever received came as a gentle yet profound reminder: “Embrace the journey, not just the destination.” This timeless wisdom underscores the importance of savoring the process, the ups and downs, and the lessons learned along the way. It encourages me to appreciate the growth, the resilience built in moments of challenge, and the beauty found in the ordinary steps that lead to extraordinary destinations. This advice serves as a guiding principle in both my personal and professional life, urging me to find joy in the present moment, celebrate small victories, and trust that the journey itself holds immeasurable value..

What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, the road ahead is an exciting tapestry of new stories waiting to be told and fresh ideas waiting to be explored. I’m currently immersed in the creation of a novel that ventures into uncharted territories, blending elements of mystery and introspection. The allure of pushing creative boundaries and delving into unexplored themes propels me forward. Additionally, I’m eager to continue connecting with readers through various platforms, sharing insights into my writing process, and engaging in meaningful conversations. Whether it’s through articles, blog posts, or the next book on the horizon, my commitment is to offer narratives that resonate, inspire, and, most importantly, spark a connection with the hearts and minds of those who join me on this literary journey. The future holds a tapestry of possibilities, and I’m thrilled to see where the pen leads next.
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?
If I were to find myself stranded on a desert island, the thought of having only a few books with me is both daunting and thrilling. I would undoubtedly bring “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” for its timeless narratives and poetic brilliance, providing both entertainment and intellectual stimulation. To feed my spirit and offer solace in isolation, I’d choose “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, a philosophical gem that encourages introspection and finding one’s true path. For a touch of humor and escapism, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams would be my whimsical companion, offering a lighthearted perspective on the absurdity of life. Lastly, I might bring “The Survival Handbook” or a practical guide to aid me in navigating the challenges of the island, turning an unfortunate situation into an opportunity for learning and resilience.
