What credentials establish you as an expert in your field or have contributed to your success as an author? My life experiences have made me an expert. My ancestors earned me the right, to being a born U.S. citizen, a registered voter, and the right to the 1st amendment. Those are my credentials.
About the Book
What was your motivation for writing this book? I was angry at a lot of circumstances in my life at the time. I was angry with America for mis-educating me all these years to believe success would be identified by the stuff I could purchase and the lifestyle I could create with that stuff. Then for America not to protect my family – since we’d played by the rules – I grew angry and discontent. I was not only angry, I was bitter with the sudden death of my favorite, eldest aunt Lucy Mae, and her husband. They were killed in an automotive accident in Detroit in 2007. They were hit by several youth who drove thru a stop sign on the eastside of Detroit. Of course, none of the youth were injured. I was devastated. She was my foundation while growing up on the eastside of Detroit. She soon became my motivation. My writing became therapeutic.
Tell us some of the factors that make your book unique. The writing is unique. I say what people are afraid to say. I speak the truth.
What is the single most important thing that readers of your book will be able to do after reading your book that they could not do before? Take responsibility for helping to make the change we want in this country.
Is there local or regional relevance for your book? The writing reflects deep humanitarian concerns. Hunger and homelessness broke, affects everyone.
What emotions does your book evoke from readers? Readers will feel angry, humble, and perhaps even cry a little. But the message should open their minds to the conversation of change.
Are there any controversial elements in your book? The writing attacks politicians, our thought, and our way of thinking. Not everyone deals with the truth in the same way.
In researching your book, did you come across any surprising facts, figures or statistics? The foreclosure market created the new homeless population. There are many middle class families that are now homeless. Also, I learned how much I enjoyed be an advocate thru my writing.
What one thing about writing do you wish other non-writers would understand? I want non-writers to understand that it’s a love to put pen to paper, but it’s a business after the book is published.
What are three things you wish you’d known before you reached where you are now? Networking with media prior to book release, and creating a business plan.
What would you like your readers to take away from your book? Capitalism is not about people, it’s about money. Be careful with making emotional purchasing decisions, not by what we see, but make them by what we need.
If you could change one thing you did during your road to publication, what would it be and what would you have done different? I wouldn’t change a thing in my life. All those things make me who I am today.
What advice would you give an aspiring author? Its easy to say “I want to write a book”, keep your thoughts on paper. Set dreams, goals, and write with heart.
