Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an author, singer, content creator and a publisher. Along side, I do ghostwriting for people and blogs.
I have ghostwritten about 8 books and self published 3 in my own capacity as an author. I do ghostwriting because sometimes I want to share ideals on subjects that are outside the niche am known for.
It is a great pleasure and delight to be on this noble platform.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Mindset of love and happy people,” is my latest book.
I got inspired to write this book after I encountered someone I deeply admired but realized the person was insecure — insecure because she felt she wasn’t good enough.
I could very well relate because at a point in my high school education, I felt the same.
I realized most of the problem has to do with our mindset. So I decided to study the subject so that together with my experience, I could be of help of others who feel the same.
Stress and depression is killing people more than most killer diseases does.
This book is my story of how I overcame low self esteem.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I do. I don’t consider myself a prolific writer.
I usually write when am inspired to share on a subject.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love reading, and have hence devoured a lot of books. It would be hard to pin point particular books since almost all the authors and books were influencing in different ways.
But just to mention that Brain Tracy, Myles Munroe, Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie have been a great influence on my writing carrier.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on promoting my new book, “Mindset of love and happy people.” It’s a message every home needs to hear, I believe.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I just discovered this site, “awesome gang. com.” I honestly think it’s the best so far, judging from how easy it was to find my way around it.
I haven’t explored much of other platforms, however, yet. I love the author interview session.
And it’s even amazing that they offer free services.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I would recommend this site for new authors looking for great platforms to market their books.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Your words can make and unmake you.
What are you reading now?

What’s next for you as a writer?
I intend starting my next project around the comments that would come from the review my latest book, mindset of love and happy people.
