Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Jeremy G. Woods, and I am a 2009 graduate of the University of North Alabama. I currently live in Dallas for job training, and I will be moving overseas in the summer of 2015.
I am the author of 4 books, and 2 of these books have recently been combined into a fifth book that is about to be released.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book called “Faith Without Borders” is a combination of the book on prayer I published in 2012 and the book on missions I published in 2013. I am passionate about missions, and prayer is a topic we so desperately need to learn more about, and I know that those who are interested in missions also are interested in prayer since they go hand-in-hand.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to get rid of writer’s block by going onto the next work and writing on it until I get stuck again. This means I have plenty of unpublished manuscripts, but it allows my writing to feel unforced.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
David Platt is very inspiring on his missional books. He writes on a topic that is needed, and I think that his ministry is inspiring to many.
John Piper is a very solid writer with a great grasp on the Bible. I highly suggest his books, too.
What are you working on now?
I am hoping to publish a mystery trilogy sometime in the near future. The first book has already been published (it was my first book to publish, in 2009). I have about the same number of pages in both of the sequels to the book, but I am not nearly done with them.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Facebook groups and Goodreads groups. I also have ads that I put on sites as well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. Even if you don’t publish the first book you start to write, keep at the practice of writing as much as you can.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again” -Anonymous.
What are you reading now?
As much as I want to read and write right now, I am currently unable to spend as much time as I would like.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am about to be published by a publisher (the other four books were self-published).
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 Bible
Let the Nations Be Glad, By John Piper
Les Miserables, By Victor Hugo
Counter Culture, By David Platt
