Interview With Author Sam Riley
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Sam Riley, and I’m a wellness dietitian and nutrition researcher dedicated to helping people heal naturally through food and lifestyle changes. Quick Fix for Fatty Liver is my debut book, inspired by years of working with people struggling with fatty liver, weight gain, and low energy. I wanted to share practical, science-based steps anyone can use to restore their health naturally.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Quick Fix for Fatty Liver: Heal Your Liver Naturally with Easy Food Swaps and Home Detox Tips for Better Energy and Weight Loss. I was inspired to write it after meeting countless people who were told they had fatty liver but didn’t know what to do next. Many felt scared, confused, and overwhelmed by medical advice that seemed too complicated to follow. I wanted to create a simple, comforting guide that explains what’s really happening inside the body and shows how everyday foods and habits can make a huge difference.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write early in the morning when everything is quiet and my mind feels clear. I usually start with a cup of green tea and soft background music to help me focus. I also keep a notebook nearby to jot down new ideas whenever inspiration strikes even if I’m in the middle of cooking or walking.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve been influenced by several great authors who focus on health, wellness, and natural living. Books by Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Michael Greger, and Deepak Chopra have inspired me to approach health with both science and compassion. Their work showed me that healing the body isn’t just about medicine it’s about lifestyle, balance, and mindset.
What are you working on now?
I’ve just finished my next book about Intermittent Fasting and how it can naturally support weight loss, boost energy, and improve liver health. It’s a follow-up to my previous work, focusing on practical fasting schedules, meal plans, and science-backed tips that anyone can follow. My goal is to help readers build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This is my first time using AwesomeGang, but I’ve heard great things about how it helps authors reach more readers. I’m excited to see how it goes.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write from the heart, not just from knowledge. People connect with authenticity, not perfection. If your book solves a real problem or inspires hope, it will find its audience. Stay patient, stay consistent, and never underestimate the power of your words.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard is: “Progress is better than perfection.” It reminds me to keep moving forward, even if things aren’t perfect yet.
What are you reading now?
Right now, I’m reading How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger. It’s an inspiring book about how food choices can prevent and even reverse disease.
What’s next for you as a writer?
My next goal as a writer is to publish more health and wellness books that focus on natural healing and simple lifestyle changes. I want to build a collection of practical guides that help people take control of their health.
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?
If I were stranded on a desert island, I’d take The Bible for strength, Atomic Habits by James Clear for motivation, How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger for health inspiration, and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle to stay mindful and peaceful.
