Interview with author Shechinahglory Tucker

Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.

A1. My name is Shechinahglory Tucker, and I’m the author and founder of Shekinahglory Press — a creative faith-based publishing imprint dedicated to healing, self-discovery, and purpose. Through my writing, I combine personal experience, spirituality, and transparency to help others embrace their true selves and walk boldly in God’s purpose for their lives. I’m also a visionary entrepreneur, filmmaker, and creative who believes that every story has the power to transform hearts.

Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing your book A Pure Heart With NO Boundaries?

A2. The biggest challenge was revisiting the emotional places that inspired the book. Writing about healing and self-forgiveness required me to confront my own pain and growth all over again. There were moments when I had to stop, pray, and give myself grace to continue. Balancing vulnerability with purpose, learning what to share and how to share it, was both the hardest and most rewarding part.

Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?

A3. I’m honestly not much of a reader, which is why I find it so ironic that God led me toward becoming an author. But when I did read growing up, I loved books like The Giver and Petey. Both were emotional, visionary, and deeply heartfelt stories that stuck with me because of how they made me feel. As for authors who influenced me, I’d say my childhood friend Damere Holloway. He’s a very inspirational person, and his creativity and determination continue to motivate me in my own journey as a writer.

Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?

A4. I’ve always loved beaches, especially Virginia Beach, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head Island. The ocean is calm and peaceful, and each of those places holds beautiful family memories for me. My second favorite place is the open road. As a truck driver, I love seeing different sceneries and finding quiet moments to think, pray, and write. There’s something about both the road and the ocean that remind me of God’s peace and endless grace.

Q5. What inspired you to write the book A Pure Heart With NO Boundaries?

A5. The book was born out of a season of healing and reflection. I had gone through experiences that tested my faith, my love, and my identity, but through it all, God showed me that true strength comes from staying pure-hearted even when life hardens you. I wanted to create something that would help others heal the same way — through honesty, forgiveness, and faith.

Q6. How long did it take you to write your book A Pure Heart With NO Boundaries?

A6. It took me about two months to write this book. God had already given me the clarity and vision for how He wanted it laid out and what needed to be said. Once I started writing, the words just flowed because the message was already placed in my heart. It wasn’t about rushing — it was about obedience and letting God guide each chapter.

Q7. On what platforms can readers buy your books?

A7. Readers can find A Pure Heart With NO Boundaries on Amazon, and soon it will also be available through IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble, and directly from my official site Shekinahglorypress.com, where signed copies include a pen, bookmark, and QR code for exclusive film access.

Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title A Pure Heart With NO Boundaries.

A8. The cover was inspired by one of my personal drawings. It reflects the duality of purity and pain, the beauty that comes from brokenness. I wanted the design to feel spiritual and timeless. The title came during prayer; it represents a heart that loves freely, forgives deeply, and isn’t limited by past wounds. It’s not about being naïve, it’s about being brave enough to stay open.

Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

A9. I stay connected to real life ,to the people, emotions, and spiritual lessons that shape who we are. I don’t write from imagination alone; I write from transformation. I also take breaks to breathe and create visually, through art, poetry, and short films, so that when I return to writing, my voice feels renewed and alive.

Q10. What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?

A10. “Write even when you’re healing.” That advice changed everything for me. You don’t have to be perfect or have it all figured out before you tell your story. Sometimes the most powerful writing comes from the middle of the journey, not the end. Be honest, stay faithful, and let your story do what it was meant to do reach someone who needs it.
