Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘An Everlasting Truth’?
I love the color blue, particularly the shade of a Robin’s egg; it is my absolute favorite, and I wanted to express that on to my cover, which publishing house did an amazing job of creating my wish into reality. I also love the golden wisdom of the Word of God, that is why I chose gold letters, and I wanted feathers in the cover as well, reminds me not to take myself so seriously and also as a tribute to the angels that God sends to us for guidance, protection, and that surround us daily.
An Everlasting Truth was inspired by Jesus Christ because he is they way, the truth and the life and His Word is endless, everlasting.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I am inspired to help others daily; I put down on paper my thoughts and I want others to understand how my thought process and God allow me to be inspired on a daily basis. A healthy mindset is very important. I like to think that I may be able to simplify for others what I once thought was super complicated and can now easily discern. I hope and like to think my readers appreciate that.
