Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Nonhlanhla Annah Thusi, based in South Africa. I am a born again Christian, a very simple and friendly person who always have a smile, the best make up that suits any person. So far I have self published three books, two inspiration books and my latest title which falls under fiction.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Silent Tears, it is actually a true story. In this book I reflected to where I come from up until to where I am today to see if there’s any difference. I am still at my humbling beginnings and starting to question my journey if I am on the right track and this book is kinda like a comfort to me that, I am doing my best, so I am challenging readers that: “if you think you are a failure reflect back into your then you will realise that you’ve got it all right.”
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes… It always get me into trouble with my friends, they can’t keep up with my long unnecessary texts.

What are you working on now?
My fourth title Beyond the clouds there’s the sun which falls under non fiction, Inspiration and Bibles
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am using different platforms on the internet and most of them are free, but I must admit that it is difficult to promote your own book unless if you are multitalented.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
