Interview With Author Ray Ray
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
As a writer, I hold prominence, chuckles! But I take pride in considering myself an experienced individual in the realms of business, religion, cooking, teaching, and higher education. My repertoire encompasses a wide array of talents and fascinations, some of which are deemed unconventional by my spouse and companions. Likewise, I possess an unyielding commitment to pioneering, constantly searching for novel methodologies to transform the industry. During my moments of relaxation, I find solace in absorbing literature, composing prose, and luxuriating in harmonious tunes. My published works on Amazon exceed a count of 30. Feel free to conduct a search and discover them.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It is titled Breaking the Stigma, my latest publication and it delves into the depths of my mental health journey, providing an insightful account of my personal battles and triumphant recovery. With the sincere hope that those facing comparable circumstances will find solace within its pages, I aspire to empower readers to conquer their own adversities, just as I have triumphed over mine.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, indeed, if considering writing in unconventional locations such as the restroom, the car park, or during the late hours of the night, then I do engage in such practices. Occasionally, I find myself awakening at approximately 3am to engage in writing endeavors, taking advantage of the serene atmosphere within the household, as the children are soundly asleep.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have been profoundly influenced by various books, such as Mark Mason’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Eddie Jaku’s The Happiest Man on Earth, Adam Grant’s Think Again, and Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power.
What are you working on now?
“The Divine” is the title of my current literary work, it is a thought-provoking piece delving into the diverse perspectives on the perception of God among various religious beliefs, as well as exploring the enigmatic complexities that surround the multifaceted essence of the divine being.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Sometimes I use Bookbub and sometimes I use Booksy’s Bookbargain to promote my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Well, I’m a new writer myself, so I need some advice (chuckles)! But seriously, writing in today’s world comes with a lot of challenges, but when you feel like giving up, get yourself a writing instrument and write whatever comes to your mind.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do what makes you happy life is short my dad always say that to me growing up.
What are you reading now?
The monk who sold his ferrari by Robin Sharma.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Really, I can’t say precisely what’s next, but I plan on just working and releasing new books to the market to get that money up.
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?
My first will be “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” and then “48 Laws of Power”, “Think Straight” by Darius Foroux, and “Think Again” by Adam Grant.
