Interview With Author Kyle A. Stone
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
The one I recently published is my first!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Values We Hold Dear: Inspiring Stories to Reconnect America. I listened to some of the recent narratives espoused by media and others that I questioned regarding American history. I researched a lot of primary sources to discover the narratives were false, and told a friend. My friend recommended I write a book.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to get up early in the morning to write. I get more written that way. I don’t think that’s unusual though.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Well…this is hard. My readings have been all over the place, from business, leadership, and technology to military history, biographies and spiritual/self-help.
Holy Scriptures, Embraced by the Light by Betty Eadie. I am a huge fan of the Tom Clancy series. I like self-help books like the Millionaire Mind by Dr. Thomas Stanley, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, the Power of the Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy. Various work on the brain. Various works on leadership like Leadership Lessons of the U.S. Navy Seals by the Cannon brothers. For fiction, I like The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien. Books by George Orwell like Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
What are you working on now?
I’m thinking about extending the Values We Hold Dear Brand to a series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m new and learning. I’ll let you know when I figure it out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be prepared. When they said there would be ups and downs emotionally while you’re writing a book, they meant it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Breathe, no one’s going to die.
What are you reading now?
Self-Publishing With Amazon Ads by Bryan Cohen.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Turning my work into a course, or a coaching platform. Working on the next work on Resilient Leadership for Youth.
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?
Holy Scriptures, SAS Survival Handbook, Lord of the Rings (Series), The Power of the Subconscious Mind.
