What I Really Want Is… But I’m Just Too Full Of… by author Seth Lusk

Book: What I Really Want Is… But I’m Just Too Full Of…

Author: Seth Lusk

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.

“Socks and Elephant Shoes” penned by the author E.A. Crawford is a collection of poems. It takes the readers on a journey of loss, love and depression.

Overwhelming

Exhausted

And anguish of a

Breaking point.
When
Everything
Becomes too much.

Interview with author Julian Jackson

Book: Rise

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

My name is Julian Jackson, an electrical engineer and a Savannah State University alumnus. I grew up in Miami, Fl.

Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Rise’ book?

Some of the key challenges I faced when writing Rise was the time management of it all. I was in school while writing it as well as working a full-time job. So, finding time to write this and getting my creativity to flow was challenging.

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

I’m a big manga reader so authors like Eiichiro Oda really influenced my writing style.

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

If I had to pick, I would say Sunny Isles Beach in Aventura, Fl. I wasn’t a big beach goer when I was younger but when I got older and left my hometown. I grew fonder of what I left behind.

Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?

Yes, there is. Organizing an idea, researching that idea, putting together an outline, securing your copyright. All are important in writing a story, keeping it fluid, and keeping it yours.

Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Rise’ book?

It took almost 3 years to finish and, in some ways, it’s still not at its finished product.

Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘Rise’ book to buy?

For the time being you can find it on Amazon in hard copy only.

Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Rise’?

I actually commissioned an artist Reese Royce to do my cover based on who the characters were in the book. The title Rise just came from the characters prevailing from hardship RISE out of the ashes of their former life.

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

I try and bounce my ideas off my brother to keep it interesting for myself because he’ll bounce ideas right back to me. It gives me another perspective

Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?

Certain details from the last chapters of the book set up the sequel, however the ending will not.

Give Me Wings and Taking Flight by author Heidi Scheleski

Book: Give Me Wings and Taking Flight

Author: Heidi Scheleski

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

Give Me Wings written by the author Heidi Scheleski explains the mindset transformation needed to make peace with the past. I agree with the author when she has mentioned that some life events feel like physical weights on our soul. Heidi is recommending readers to learn self-compassion to live a happy life. The dark moments of our life also help us to grow. Shower yourself with the love and affection you longed for as it will revitalize your soul.

Taking Flight by Heidi guides the readers towards deep healing and infinite inspiration. To reinvent ourselves, it is important for us to reflect. In this book, the author has asked readers to write down a few things through which they will gain clarity about themselves. Various activities like writing a morning routine, learning self discipline, knowing your fears, etc will help us to improve our present and future life.

I am glad to get my hands on Heidi’s books at a moment in my life when I was feeling low and resentful. Heidi’s words have inspired me and I am feeling peaceful and happy now. I am all set to alter my life now. “Taking Flight” has given me the direction to work on myself and the “Give Me Wings” book has motivated me to do so. I am highly interested in reading more of Heidi’s work in the future. If you are interested in transforming your life then don’t miss to get your hands on these books. I am sure you would thank me for recommending these amazing books to you.

Interview with author Caleb Thornton

Book: Irreversible

Q1. Could you please tell readers about your latest book?

Yes! “Irreversible” is about a day in the life of an impulsive serial killer. He’s determined that every man he’s been with and will continue to come in contact within the future will never know how to love him the way that he ultimately wants to be loved. He was conditioned early on to think about love in a fixed way. In addition to this, he’s also dealing with something very sinister inside that he’s never properly dealt with. Killing men has turned into a coping mechanism for him.

Q2. Main character of your book Irreversible is sure that love doesn’t like him. Do you believe in love?

Haha! I do believe in love. I do. However, I think my standards and dating ideology are out of this world. A lot of the stuff that I believe in could be seen in the medieval times, or maybe even in the fifties. I want a love that resembles the American dream. You know, the husband, the white picket fence, a dog. Perhaps maybe a farm. I find that I’m not really made for hook-up culture or anything that involves sexual exploration. I must have an emotional bond with someone for anything to go anywhere. I’m a very emotional guy.

Q3. Between your plot and your characters, which is essential to you? Why?

Well, the plot is always essential no matter what. I think mapping out the plot is basically mapping out what the story is and how it comes together. On the other hand, I will say that characters are also very important to me. Every main character in my works has some part of me in them. For example, the main character of this story is a man named Frank Johnson. Frank is a serial killer. He kills men because they don’t know how to love him, or they do things that hurt him in some ways or another. I kill off men in my mind so that way I don’t have to carry the burden that they left with me. It’s sort of a coping mechanism that I use. It’s very effective.

Q4. How many books have you written so far?

I’ve completely written three books so far. Two short stories, and one poetry book. The fourth book is almost done, and I’m proud to call this one a book because it meets the length requirement and I’ve also been working on it for two years now.

Q5. What inspires your book cover design for your latest book “Irreversible”?

I wanted the book cover to depict me killing off the men in my life that have hurt me, and also the men in the main character’s life, which is Frank. The cover sort of acts as a metaphor for me, but it’s also how the main character see’s the men in his life. He sees them as useless. He sees them as garbage, hence the trash bag that I’m carrying.

Q6. What helps you relax while writing?

I have to turn everything off, even the air conditioner. It has to be complete silence, or else I’ll just sit with my legs crossed staring at my laptop. I don’t know. It’s kind of strange.

Q7. What would you tell an author that wants to publish his first book?

I would tell them to not be afraid to make mistakes, nothing comes easy, and that consistency is key.

Q8. Who are you when you’re not writing?

I can’t tell you that! It’s a secret!
