Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was about 11 years old when I joined my first book club. I have enjoyed reading, researching and learning ever since. Whenever I sensed that I would be required to wait somewhere, I would always take some literature along to read. During my legal career, I became quite comfortable writing contracts, position statements and memoranda. Just now I have started writing books. My genre is nonfiction on topics of global interest. I have now written one medium sized book and one shorter book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first book is entitled “Light Astonishes Time.” My latest book is entitled “Truth and Reconstructed Truth: amidst covid, freedom & conspiracies.” During the year of 2020, all of us have been bombarded by this story and that story about the upheaval in society. I decided to go back in history several centuries to study the development of how truth managed to disintegrate into reconstructed truth. My latest book traces two worldviews through the centuries in the context of gathering, analyzing and disseminating information.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I studied both engineering and law. I thus tend to be analytical in a practical way, as well as philosophical in a contemplative way. I do not just seek answers to questions. Instead, I also try to understand the thought process, the rationale, behind opinions and conclusions. Where experts in a particular discipline come to different conclusions, I conduct thorough analytics on both positions to ascertain which offers the more credible rationale.
Practically speaking, one of my most unique writing habits is that I often get inspiration between 2:00 am and 4:00 am. I would get up and scribble a few notes. I could retrace those inspirations the next morning as long as I could decipher at least every third or fourth word from my scribbles.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am just learning the business of writing and promoting books. I am by nature an introvert and so I do appreciate the support of writers and readers. The vibe and energy that seems to flow from the awesome gang is very encouraging.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
An endeavor is most worthwhile when it came with a sacrifice.
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 could not figure out how to craft some mode of transportation from some island trees, then my mind would definitely drift to my philosophical side. Such being the case, I would want daily reassurance that I am not alone; that there is some entity bigger and greater than my little island. I would want to be assured that some entity bigger than and external to my problem is still dwelling with me. I would want literature from different eras of human history. I would want to read Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Thomas Aquinas and King Solomon.
