What inspired you to write your book?
SM: I guess I can say my inspiration for writing this book came from all the people coming to me needing advice and plans on how to live a healthier lifestyle. I never thought in a million years that the information that I give could and would be in book format.
Is there any particular author or book that influenced you in any way either growing up or as an adult?
SM: Letters to a Young Brother: Manifest Your Destiny by Hill Harper.
Is this your first book? How long did it take to start and finish your book?
SM: Yes. It took me about a month to get the book flowing the way I needed it to.
Do you write with an outline, or just let it flow organically?
SM: I wrote the book with an outline. I tried to keep it as simple as possible.
Do you listen to music when you write? If yes, is there a theme song for this book?
SM: No, I don’t need music. I like to just let my thoughts marinate lol
What are the keys to success in getting your book out to the public?
SM: Marketing, having a good following, being personable, and serving people…I believe in giving before receiving. That being said, most of the information in my book is information that I give freely on a daily basis. My goal is to share this information globally and have a major impact on my community.
What advice would you give to new authors?
SM: My advice to new authors is to be diligent, persistent, never give up, and listen to your conscience. Also, be open and willing to expand your talents and visions through other people.
How about sharing an excerpt from Ways to Stay on Track of a Healthy Lifestyle?
SM: One оf the powerful wауѕ to еnѕurе уоur success іѕ tо vіѕuаlіzе a dау in уоur lіfе whеn уоu hаvе аttаіnеd уоur goal.
