Author Interview - Why, What, How?
Why the title
Completely Whole?
Actually, in the middle of
completing my first book, this book came to mind. I had gone through a bad
ordeal, which left me broken and scared.
In order for me to write about becoming whole, I had to experience it
myself. There were areas in my own
life that I needed to confront and deal with. Those areas that hindered me from
moving forward needed to be addressed. Once God began to point out those areas
and I accepted where I was spiritually, the healing and restoration began. The process of becoming Completely
Whole is continual for any believer desiring to live, walks, and pursue a life
on purpose.
Why did you
feel this book needed to be written?
I
believe every reader might have something in their lives that continues to
either be a reoccurring issue or an area in their lives that they are lacking
or feel they have not conquered.
To be whole according to Webster is to be “free from injury or wound; to
be healed and to be physically sound and healthy.” Because we live in a world in which we experience the ups
and downs of life, we deal with heartache and pain; sometimes these experiences
leave residue that we have not been able to eliminate.
What is your main message in Completely Whole?
Completely
Whole
is one of those books that will challenge the reader to do a self-examination
of where they are as it relates to their own spirituality. This life-changing
book will help readers to transform their spirit, soul, and body through Jesus
Christ, so they can live a life of peace, joy, and fulfillment. In
Completely Whole, I offer keys to help those who are searching for answers that
can lead to a life of complete wholeness: Spirit, Soul and Body. I want readers to come away knowing
that they have the ability to live a full enriched life.
What has the reaction been like to your book?
The
reviews have been great. Those that have read Completely Whole find it to be a book which speaks to the heart.
How can this book contribute to
transforming someone’s life?
A
person is transformed when they choose to apply the spiritual principles that
are outlined in Completely Whole.
Once a person identifies self-destructive mind-sets she is able to
deal with those issues that have kept them from walking in victory.
Were there any challenges
you faced in the writing process?
I
think with all authors there are some types of challenges when trying to finish
a book. I’m no exception. There are many distractions that will continue to
pull for my attention be it, home, ministry, family and/or job. I try to bring
balance in my life so I can prioritize those things that are important. I must
set deadlines for myself and stick with those deadlines.
What can
someone take away from this book?
Completely Whole guides a reader in undertaking an internal inventory and in making necessary changes of the heart. I write non-fiction, inspirational books; so this means my books should have a lasting effect on a person’s spirit, inspiring and encouraging them to pursue passionately a more fulfilled life. I want my writings to give strength and encouragement in the time of need. Through Completely Whole, I want to engage, stimulate, and spiritually edify them spiritually.
Any words of wisdom for young writers or persons who
want to pursue a career in writing?
Promote,
promote and promote some more.
Learn how to brand and market yourself so that you are known in the
industry. Don’t think someone else
is going to promote you better than yourself. Create a marketing plan that will expand your territory in reaching readers.
