Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
My early years were chaotic. We moved to many places, and had to deal with difficult situations. Things settled down by my early teens, and life became more normal. My relatives were always close, and that was a welcome support. I studied theology and physics. My first two books, Chaos Rising, and The Rhysu Alternative, are in The Erstallius Chronicles, the sci-fi series I began in 2015. I enjoy hiking, playing the guitar, and a good game of chess.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing your book “Lawless Tradition”?
I have never found writing to be a challenge. Writing is hard work, but I have always enjoyed the process, and the joy that comes from a phrase well stated.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
I read mostly Science Fiction in grade school; Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, with an occasional foray into Early American literature; Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage is still fresh in my memory. In the Non-fiction arena, Paul A. Laviolette’s, Genesis of the Cosmos, and Secrets of Anti-gravity Propulsion, pulled me into the deep investigation of things not commonly known.
My journey through the Bible has been mostly academic, but I found the popular works of Michael S. Heiser and Gary DeMar very insightful. Two books that helped change my path in life were The Genesis Flood: The Biblical Record and its Scientific Implications, by John C. Whitcomb and Henry M. Morris, and Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, by Dr. Michael Denton.

I began February 4th, 2023
Q7. On what platforms can readers buy your books?
Currently, worldwide on Amazon. Lawless Tradition will be published later this August.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Lawless Tradition’?
I had created the cloud scene in Vue for another project a few years ago, and thought it would fit well on the cover. The title was influenced by the premise of the book. The muck of lawlessness that has overwhelmed Christendom throughout its turbulent history has polluted the traditions established by Jesus and the Apostles.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
With fiction, the key is to create an intriguing plot, with enough well-defined characters to keep each chapter engaging. With non-fiction, the key is evidence; always support your premise with hard facts; facts that may not be clear to your readers.
Q10. What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
Keep writing. The result may differ from what you expected, but will be better than you ever thought possible.
𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: H is for Hereford 📚 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Elizabeth Richards ✍️ . .
🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: “H is for Hereford: A Little Cattleman’s First ABC Book” written by the author Elizabeth Richards and illustrated by Dall E Ai Program is an interesting Children’s Book. This is an alphabet book for cattle enthusiasts of all ages.
The author has included various cattle, their origin and uses. Dexter, Holstein, Kerry, Limousin, etc are the various types of cattle. Kids will learn the alphabets from A to Z or they can learn about different cattle.
The beautiful AI Watercolor images made this book more interesting. The Glossary given at the beginning of the book is helpful. It is an insightful read. I haven’t come across a book earlier with different cattle. Parents should add this book to their children’s bookshelf. I had a great time reading this book. Farm lovers would love this one for sure.
Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
I am a Swiss native Life adventure spirit, based in California, and am a corporate consultant, international teacher and transformational speaker, life coach, and evolutionary consciousness guide. I help high-performers (or those aspiring to be) overcome achievers’ burnout, repair challenge relationships, and boost productivity. With expertise in performance and positive psychology and communication, I maximize individual and team performance in a way that creates whole-life success. My unorthodox approach blends wit and reflection, enabling personal and spiritual growth through new habits, next-level mindset, and boundaries. In my new groundbreaking book, “Gliding You Home: A Dolphins Dream of a New Earth,” we explore unlocking spiritual potential for fulfillment. As an evolutionary guide, I help individuals from all walks of life. Shared insights and teachings open new pathways for change and help individuals tap into their spiritual potential, creating greater unity on Earth.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing your book “GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth”?
Once I was able to get out of the way, the book and Dolphin’s wisdom pretty much flowed through me like a wave, and sometimes what felt like a gush of water. LOL. The Dolphins’ energy is very loving and playful, but simultaneously quite directive. With that said, taking consistent time to become meditatively still and let go of the intellectual chatter and corrections thereof, but simply surrender and trust the process became a daily practice, and leaped to another level I had not known before.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
The teachings of Jesus Christ. Eckhart Tolle, in The Power Of Now, Barbara Marciniak, in The Bringers of the Dawn, and Earth, Abraham Hicks, Jeff Foster, in The Deepest Acceptance, Oriah, in The Invitation, and Celestine Prophecy during my early beginnings, by James Redfield. Khalil Gibran, in The Prophet etc.. And all those who chose to speak up, and whose written and spoken words became the action of their teaching, including my own parents.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
I’m very fortunate where I grew up, as there is lots of variety and a place for nearly every mood. Nature’s earthy and vibrant landscape shines through the entirety of Switzerland. Lucerne is a very beautiful city, and Bern, the capital of Switzerland, still has the aura of ancient times, with its cobblestone streets, going back to when it was founded in 1191, and joining the Swiss Confederation in 1353. The internationally known village of Zermatt, and home of the Matterhorn, has amazing hiking trails, and offers a paradise for those enjoying skiing and outdoor adventures, with gastronomy and nightlife to match. In my early teens, I found my first moments of connection and belonging, peace and stillness, overlooking the mountains, in the forest right above where I grew up in Brig-Glis.
Q5. What inspired you to write the book ‘GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth’?
This journey has been solely guided through the profound love and wisdom of the dolphin consciousness (and my willingness to surrender to ego constraints), whereby spiraling-me-open to another dimension and become their vessel during a time of debilitating symptoms, feeling that I had reached my physical limits, and the dolphins’ resonance had picked me up and glided me to the other side returning to never be the same. Still connected to the joyful dolphin consciousness, and despite hesitation but their persistence, I agreed to help them share their wisdom and secret knowledge with you, too.
Q6. How long did it take you to write your book ‘GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth’?
From start to publishing, it was about a year. Just as soon as I was able to hold their energy and become the funnel for their dynamic and vast energetics to come through. The outline and topic titles appeared immediately. They were very clear about what they needed to say, and that it was a book about evolution and unity consciousness, desiring to reach as many as possible.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘GLIDING YOU HOME – A Dolphins Dream of A New Earth’?
The dolphins gave me the title from the get-go. The book cover itself needed to encompass color and vibration (including all the illustrations on the inside of the book, closely working with an artist depicting the words, energetic activations, movement, and flow). Including the feeling of the world as One, belonging, and feeding on the premise of interconnected, interrelated, and interwoven communication and unity consciousness among all sentient beings.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
Relatability, despite the subject matter, is always very important, and the ability to draw in the reader to become part of the “story,” instead of staying on the outside while reading it. The invitation, to dive deep into the calling of one’s own soul and evolution (your own and humanities evolution), for the greater good of your own life and all those whom you serve. Taking breaks and being easy about it, while creating a certain playfulness (meaning, not taking it all too seriously), allows it to elevate to a higher plane without getting too heady.
Q10. What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
Trust What comes forth or pours out effortlessly and easily through The voice of your higher and intuitive-self and gut wisdom.
Please introduce yourself so that the readers will get to know you better.
Hello, my name is Faith Spencer. I have authored multiple children’s books, however, “CLUCK THAT” holds a special place in my heart. From a young age, I have been passionate about storytelling and art. In fact, during fourth grade, I even attended art classes at the University of Irvine. Despite earning an associate degree in Graphic Design and a Ph.D. in Marketing, I never imagined myself becoming a children’s book author. However, as a grandmother and homeschool teacher, my perspective on life has changed. It has always been a dream of mine to write books, although I originally envisioned myself writing a novel. ha ha .. In 2018, I wrote “Discover the Power of “I Am”: Children’s Mantras” and from that moment, I realized that my passion lies in both writing and art.
What is your inspiration behind your book “Cluck That”?
The book Cluck That features several sources of inspiration. The character of Sassy was influenced by my daughter Ashley’s attitude, while the idea of raising a chicken came from my son and daughter-in-law. There’s even a point in the book where a sign reading WPFRD appears, which stands for the fire department where my son works. The Polakof House mentioned on the sign is the direction of their home, and Kona is their German shepherd who appears at the end of the story with my daughter-in-law. The motivation to bring the story to life is my granddaughter’s love for chickens and her strong sense of self at just four years old. I wanted to address the issue of bullying after my son with autism was attacked by his aggressor and had to be pulled from public school to be homeschooled. It was enjoyable to draw inspiration from my family for this book.
When did you realize you want to be an author?
As a child, I had a fascination with writing that I didn’t fully understand until later. I recall being on a movie set with my parents, watching as my dad explained the reasoning behind the lines he had written for the actors. It was then that I realized how much vision he had for his work. Despite this, I never considered writing seriously because my sister and I would act out our elaborate storylines while playing with Barbie dolls. That was our outlet for creative thinking. Looking back, I wish I had kept some of those stories as inspiration.
Please tell us something about your book “Cluck That”?
“Cluck That” is an empowering story that aims to help readers realize that it’s okay to be different in our own unique ways. We should always stay true to ourselves and be authentic, as this will help others appreciate and like us for who we truly are.
For which age group is your book “Cluck That” suitable for?
Initially, I wrote the book for children between the ages of 5-10. However, it seems that people of all ages are finding it enjoyable. I had the pleasure of reading it to a teenage boy who was kind enough to listen. As I read, I observed his face lighting up with giggles and smiles. My husband also shared it with his coworkers, who appreciated my choice of words.
What is your favorite Quote?
Wow, that’s a tough question. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this book and had a lot of fun doing it. However, if I had to choose one that I believe would resonate with readers of all ages, it would be “I love this farm and I am ok to be me!”
What do you like the most about your country?
I am grateful to live in a country where women are given the freedom to express their opinions. I appreciate the existence of laws that protect our right to free speech. Unlike Mary Ann Evans, who had to conceal her identity as George Eliot, I’m fortunate to feel comfortable using my own name.
What suggestion do you want to give to parents of little readers regarding a reading habit?
A great way to promote reading skills in children is by inviting them to read with you every day. When reading a book with a large print, it can be helpful to point out each word as you read. Repeating a child’s favorite book can also be beneficial, as well as reading stories with rhyming words and repeating lines. Discussing new vocabulary words can also help expand their knowledge. Books that include bright pictures can help keep your child interested. LASTLY Take your time with them because they won’t be small forever. You’ll miss these moments one day.
What does literary success look like to you?
Success, to me, is receiving a copy of my book in the mail and reading it to my beloved grandchildren. It’s a moment of pure joy when they exclaim, “You wrote this for me!” and I get to reply with confidence, “You Betcha!”
Lastly, who is your inspiration in life and why?
Wow, this is a tough question. Although my parents have always been a great support for me, I have to admit that it is Judy Garland who has helped me through all the ups and downs of life. It’s her quote “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
My name is Hannah Gaudette. I am a homeschool graduate from the northeastern United States. I started writing at age eight, and, well, never stopped! Aside from writing, I enjoy video editing, creating ambience videos, and working on my family’s farm.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing your book “Fate of a Prince”?
Right away, when inspiration struck for the novel, I knew something was missing. A big piece of the puzzle, which didn’t come into place until several weeks later when the true protagonist of the story, Kyden, popped into my head. Finally, the story began to take shape.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
Early on in my writing, I was hugely influenced by Jaye L Knight’s Ilyon Chronicles. I soaked up her work like a sponge and it greatly improved my craft. I was also positively influenced by Nadine Brandes’ novels and Tricia Mingerink’s Blades of Acktar series.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
The ocean! I don’t live very close to it, but I visit it whenever I can. It is the place on earth that makes my heart sing. The salty smell in the air, the energy, and the beautiful ambient ocean sounds are soothing and beautiful.
Q5. What inspired you to write the book ‘Fate of a Prince’?
The Christmas song “Forevermore” by Chris Tomlin sparked the initial inspiration, ironically, since the novel is a YA fantasy and has nothing to do with Christmas. Nevertheless, that is where it began. It was then influenced by BBC’s Merlin, as fans of that show might be able to tell.
Finally, I felt that the story had a unique opportunity to explore traits like honor and loyalty, and feature a beautiful friendship.
Q6. How long did it take you to write your book ‘Fate of a Prince’?
I actually wrote the first draft in five or six weeks, which I was very excited about. The rest of the process, however, took close to two years.
Q7. On what platforms can readers buy your books?
Both my books are available on Amazon, and the sequel to Fate of a Prince will be there as well!
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Fate of a Prince’?
The title actually came about as a working title only, but it stuck! The cover was originally designed by an individual I hired, but events conspired to prevent the completion of the project. I had to find a new designer and come up with a slightly different concept. I found Miblart, thanks to another author’s recommendation, and I could not have been happier with their work!
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
Pacing the flow of the story is very important. Every scene has to matter, either to the plot, character development, or both. For myself, I benefit greatly by writing in multiple POVs (alternating between characters in different chapters). Fate has just two POV characters, but switching between them was very refreshing each time because of their distinct internal voices.
Q10. What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
I think the most valuable piece of writing advice I’ve been given was quite recent. In short, art should provoke an emotional response. And if that response is negative, it’s okay. Writing, and art in general, should not be a vessel by which we try to please other people. It should be a vessel by which we tell the truth: expose darkness, share light, and not shy away from things that are hard to talk about.
