“Good Morning Henry: An In-Depth Journey With the Body Intelligence” penned by the author Tanis Helliwell is a must read.
In this book, the author has mentioned how practicing a neutral-positive approach helps a lot. That way our soul is able to download information to help us solve a problem. I really appreciate the author’s thoughts on non-attachment which is different from detachment.
This book reminds the readers that our answers lie inside us and searching outside ourselves for answers and happiness is misguided. Writing style of the author is unique. Cover photo of the book is lovely. The way this book is written in the form of conversation made it more enjoyable to read.
I got my hands on this book when I was suffering emotionally. This book guides us how we can work with our body intelligence to heal deep-rooted physical, emotional and spiritual suffering. Quotes by famous personalities in the book uplifted me. Signs of spiritual transformation mentioned at the end of the book is something I really appreciate. If you are ready to take the journey of healing or spiritual transformation, go ahead with this book.
Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hi I am Angela Morrell. I live in Florida now but am originally from Texas and have also lived in the LA area for a few years. I love to travel and often do so around the states via RV and have been to see every major league baseball park because I’m a bit of a baseball lover. I started writing as a kid but had no encouragement so I didn’t really give it a go until later in life. This debut novel is actually a rewrite of one I started 30 years ago.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘L.A. Dreams’ book?
Starting over from a finished novel many years ago was tough. I re-read it and knew it needed a total re-work, but I still loved my characters and think I did a much better job at bringing them to life this time around. I work a full ltime job so I really only have time to write during down time and days off.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
Janet Evanovich – I love how she writes simply and to the point. She’s not afraid to be bold and put herself out there. I admire that.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
Las Vegas and New York City. I love to be in places that have a pulse 24/7 and a variety of exciting things to do so that every day can be different no matter how many times you visit.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
No, it formulates in the back of my mind as I go about my daily life then I write notes about the beginning, middle, end and character traits that I put together later.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘L.A. Dreams’ book?
30 years or 1 year depending on how you look at it.
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘L.A. Dreams’ book to buy?
As of right now Amazon, Kindle and will have Audible version available by mid June.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘L.A. Dreams’?
The cover…when I think of palm trees I think of when I originally moved to LA and I was awestruck by the variety of palm trees and beautiful beaches. And for the title: Cory, (the main character in the novel) dreamt of success and stardom in LA since childhood and I guess I secretly do too in some form or fashion.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I tend to stay away from formula writing and instead have quite the genre bend to most of my writing. It’s honestly a little bit difficult to put me in a single category as a writer. I have yet to decide if that is a good or a bad thing. As of now, it simply is and I’m going to let it be.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
This book was originally written in 1993 and I think it was kind of an outlet for my huge crush on Diana Ross. This was years before I was ready to admit that I might like women. There are hidden Easter Eggs (little things that are associated with her) throughout the story.
Rise penned by the author Julian Jackson is an action packed thriller. Main characters of the story are two kids: fifteen years old CniDaria (Ni) and twelve years old Ty. Story started with Ty watching buildings in front of him on fire. People are dying and soon fire would reach his building. Ty and Ni escaped their building and even left Sierra Leone and reached Robertsport, Liberia.
One day, Ty met a guy who knows their parents. Ty and Ni found out that their parents knew that slaughter would happen. Still, they left Ty and Ni out to dry. So, the kids took revenge by murdering their parents. Ty and Ni are getting trained to become assassins. A man named Lucius is a trained assassin and he is the mentor of Ty and Ni now.
Plot of the story is interesting. It hooked me to the story and kept me on the edge of my seat. Story is captivating and one wouldn’t feel like putting it down without finishing it. This book is full of action and thriller lovers would enjoy reading it. Language used in the book is lucid and I enjoyed every bit of this story. Go ahead with this book.

Q1. Could you please introduce yourself to the readers?
Hi, my name is Ethan Arabov, I am a singer/songwriter/author based in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I’ve been writing for a couple of years now but my first book ‘Truthful Tammy’ happened by accident. Trying to get the ‘creative juices’ flowing for a song I was trying to write; I had just started typing away. When it was done, I had sent it to my sister who suggested I make it rhyme, so I did.
Q2. Could you please tell readers about your latest book?
My Latest book is called ‘Siara and the Seashell’. It is a story about a fish who would hide in its shell afraid of being judged or how the (sea) world would treat it. Thinking it was not good enough to be seen but little did it know how beautiful it was once it came out of its shell.
Q3. How many books have you written so far?
I have written quite a few that are still being worked on but I have three that are currently published on amazon.

I wanted to show that Siara was surrounded by her friends knowing she is being supported through her journey.

I can definitely relate to Siara as well as the friends. It has taken me some time to break out of my own shell and have been there for friends going through the same.
Q6. What helps you relax while writing?
I love having some inspiring instrumental music, a cozy corner helps as well!
Q7. What would you tell an author that wants to publish his first book?
Go for it! I have had a few people ask me to help them out and I have pointed them in the right direction in terms of where to start. If someone has a motivational story to share that can change a person’s life then do it!
Q8. Who are you when you’re not writing?
That’s a good question! I like to say I wear many hats. I sing, write, own a bit of real estate, I have my own jewelry line as well. A dog dad to two white huskies and enjoying the beauty that life has to offer.
Book: What I Really Want Is… But I’m Just Too Full Of…
Author: Seth Lusk
Available On: Amazon
Language: English
Rating: 4.5/5
“What I Really Want Is… But I’m Just Too Full Of…” penned by the author Seth Lusk is the book that suits my reading taste.
In this book, Seth has shared about many experiences from his life. As a life coach, he provides support and guidance to others. The author has mentioned that we come into this world without a ‘how to’ manual. People around us who guide us also don’t have any such manual. They are also figuring it out. Sometimes, we start following others in life without even questioning why we are doing it. Many times we want beautiful things in life but we full ourselves with the temporary fixes. The result of this is that we still starve for the thing we really want.
Instead of looking for validation and acceptance from other people, we should detox ourselves so we could move towards internal acceptance that is more rewarding. Seth has very well explained how joy is not in the ‘happily ever after end goal’ but rather is in the obstacles, fears we face. Joy is in the choices we make to get what we truly want in life.
As a debut author, Seth has done amazing work in this book. I am impressed by the knowledge/experiences that he has shared in this book. Cover photo of the book is nice. I was able to relate with some of Seth’s experiences. I loved the buffet line example. This book has really inspired me to take steps towards a life of fulfillment instead of being happy with the temporary fixes. Language used in the book is easy to understand. I like to recommend this book to every other reader.
