Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was a homeless kid from Galveston, TX. I have built my dreams with drive and motivation and now teaches others how to build their dreams with their drive and motivation. I am a certified speaker, trainer, and coach through Les Brown and the Les Brown Institute. I am a best-selling author of “Keep Walking: How God Worked Through My Logic.”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
God At War. I looked around the world and saw that everyone seems to be at one. Then I realized, there was a Bible story that paralleled the way of the world today. So, I wrote the book that is both exegetical and has hidden meanings that apply to our time.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. I can see a book from start to finish. Then I know exactly how it is going to end, and then I write from the beginning towards that end. It takes me about 1 month to write a 40,000+ word book.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The Code of the Extraordinary Mind – Vishan Lakhani
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on 2 more books as well as growing my personal development and training company, ATS JR. Companies.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Nothing beats word-of-mouth. The power of our words cannot be beaten. I do also like using Facebook. It is an easy way to reach a mass of people at once.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes. Only write about what you are willing to die for people to read.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
There is no such thing as bad news. There is information and how you process it.
