Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My first published book, Pour Me Another Cup: Mystical Writings to Illuminate Your Soul, came into circulation June 2019. Presently, I am working on two books: Balancing the Stones: Mystical Writings to Wake Up the Soul and The Ultimate Story: The Mystical Evolution of Our Life. The launch date will be in 2021.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
What inspired me to publish my book at this point in time, is I feel humanity’s consciousness is at a critical point in history, balancing on a very thin line of choice in deciding what kind of world we want to live in. Do we want to live in a world of fear and bondage or love and freedom? It is in our hands, individually and collectively. Pour Me Another Cup offers the opportunity to begin or reinforce a new shift of awareness by offering dynamic and profound insights on every page.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My habits are writing early in the morning, usually 5am- 7am. I do spend a lot of time in nature for inspiration.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Many authors influenced me, from the ancient texts of Patanjali Sutras and the Tao to I Rumi, Hafiz, Kahil Gibran. Contemporary authors such as Deepak Chopra, Esther Hicks, Neal Donald Walsch, Joe Dispenza and many others are a regular read for me. I do read fiction books as well, but not too often.
What are you working on now?
Presently, I am completing my next book, Balancing the Stones:Mystical Writings to Wake Up the Soul. Hopefully, it will be ready for the editor by the fall. Also, the next book in line is The Ultimate Story: The Mystical Evolution of Our Life. This book is about 90% complete. My plan is for both books to have a launch date in 2021.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I promote my book through my website and business facebook. Also,
author talks to groups and libraries have been a big part of the book’s promotion.
I have accounts on Instagram and Linkedin and post events and quotes from my book and I have donated books to my local libraries and organizations.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
1) Make time almost everyday and write-no judgement, just write.
