Interview With Author Lisa Hopkins
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a 55 year old woman, I have written one book entitled Triggered ReActions Conquered…. I do a podcast every second and fourth Wednesday of the month. I would like to become a speaker on a big stage with many people, earning viable income, I want to be the voice of those who may not have one. I’d like to teach people how to conquer everything that makes them feel like they are nothing. I want to be the light that shows that people don’t have to live in darkness.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
What inspired me to write in my book was the fact that I had gone through so many horrific circumstances, and I wanted to put my pen to paper so that, after my words got on the paper, I could be free. I was inspired to write this book also, because there are so many people hurting and not having a way out of horrific situations. Many people stuff things in and I want to be the one to help bring those things out.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I would not say that my writing habit is unusual, but any time a topic drops into my spirit. I start writing notes automatically to get ready to turn it into a poem. It could be a word or phrases that no one would ever think to write about.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I really like the ratings of James Patterson, and many of the authors that write hot and steamy books with sexual content.
What are you working on now?
Right now I am working on a poem book, I have not decided how many poems will be in the book, but at the end of the year, the last day of December, I will end my poem writing, and proceed to starting a poem book. I think I’m going to call it, mothers poems, unless, God gives me another idea for a title. Nothin
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My best method for promoting my book, is just merely telling people about the book and giving them the information to make purchases. My book is on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and is sold on many distribution websites, it can also be found in Walmart.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
For any new author, my suggestion would be to learn about web design, making commercials, flyers, and getting your brain out there the best way you know how. It would help to be skilled annoying this information because it helps you to feel confident that you can do anything that comes along with being an author.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice that I have heard is to be the change individually that the world would like to see.
What are you reading now?
Right now I am doing a book club, with my own book and will do four or five more books of others to come.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Next, I will be publishing a poem 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?
I would bring one palm book, a mystery book, and an inspirational book that will help me along the way
