Book: Discover Laws Of The Universe

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

Dear Readers: It is a pleasure to be able to introduce myself to you. 
What you may find interesting is that for me, becoming a spiritual writer and author was not something I had initially planned on or expected as part of my original life’s plan.
Over time my career has evolved, and one of the most fulfilling roles I’ve had is my work as an educator. I enjoy helping to nurture the growth and development of students as they work on their academic goals. I thought this was going to be the primary focus of my writing and publishing. I discovered over the past few years this was going to change.
I have been on a life-long journey of self-discovery, learning about my own spirituality and a natural ability I have to understand life from a different perspective. It is because of this ability, along with the challenges faced throughout my life, which led me to a new turning point in my life. While I still work as an educator, as time goes on I’m finding I am becoming more involved with my spirituality practice.

Q2.  What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Discover Laws of the Universe’ book?

The only challenge I faced was my own mindset concerning how this work would be received. I am not attached to any religion and I am not a traditional spiritual teacher in any manner. I do not refer to any of the traditional religious references, when I’m explaining the order of the universe, and I am not following in the same path as mediums or Law of Attraction teachers. I have my own, unique approach and method of teaching.

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

My journey of self-discovery has been influenced by the New Thought Movement from the early 1900s, along with quantum physics, Law of Attraction, and New Age teachings. I studied each to help me better understand alternative ways of viewing the meaning of life and the order of the universe. What I discovered was an interest in each of the subjects for a short time, but then I moved on as I could not connect with any of these ideals, as I still could not find the truths I was seeking.

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

I’ve lived in the Midwestern United States most of my life. The most beautiful place my spouse and I have travelled to was Alaska during a cruise. While the Pacific Northwest holds a great deal of natural beauty, for us, there is nothing like seeing Alaska. The ocean is calm and the nature is breath-taking. It was there in Alaska that I felt renewed and made a decision to take the next step into work as a spiritual teacher.

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

The process of writing a book is ongoing for me. Each of my books is based upon a collection of my blog posts. I try to write a blog post each week to keep the writing process going, especially for the unique method I’ve established. Then after approximately two years, I take the collection of blog posts, organization them, and begin to work on the new book. I don’t re-use the blog posts   word-for-word. Instead, the blog posts serve as a launching point and most get re-written for the book. In other words, writing the book requires extensive editing, with new sections added.

Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Discover Laws of the Universe’ book?

This was a process of approximately two years, from writing weekly blog posts to editing the final book and writing new sections.

Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘Discover Laws of the Universe’ book to buy?

It is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Scribd, Kobo, Apple, and directly from Bruce J, the publisher. Its available in paperback (signed by the author) and eBook formats.

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

As to the book cover, I had a specific image in mind and I wanted it to be a reflection of me as a new spiritual teacher, someone who is connected to the energy of the universe. It took some time to find the image and once I did, I hired a professional cover art designer to create the cover for me.
For the title, I wanted to reflect what I had learned up to this point in time, for my own spiritual self-discovery, and I wanted to help expand upon the field of spirituality. This was my first book as a spiritual author and I was sharing a new perspective. The purpose of denoting “Laws of the Universe” was also meant to show there is more than just one law, as I found Law of Attraction has been over-utilized to explain answers to life’s challenges and questions.

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

I typically write each week by starting with a question, often about something I want to know about for my life or my family. I can also start with a question from a reader as a starting point. In other words, I am always writing about something current and relevant to what will help inspire and empower readers.

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

The book shares a personal perspective about my journey, allowing readers to get to know about me. In addition, there’s more than Laws of the Universe explained within the chapters. There are writings designed to help provide inspiration, self-discovery, and self-empowerment. It’s also important to know that I do not ask readers to subscribe to any doctrine. Instead, I only ask readers to read and learn, and believe what they connect with as they read.
Also, I haven’t made a formal announcement yet; however, my next book will be coming out by November 2020. It will be a new book based upon the next two years of writings and growth as a spiritual writer.

Discover Laws Of The Universe

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

Hello to your Lovely Readers, I am an indie author based in the Hunter Valley, a beautiful area of rural New South Wales Australia. I live a simple live that includes my two Jack Russel puppies, Missy (15) and Little Man (13).  I spend my days either writing or making jewellery in my workshop. The two motto’s I live by are “Life is too short for bad Coffee, bad Chocolate and bad Men” and “Always leave a place or person better than you find them.”

Q2.  What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘The Tempest of Eerikki’ book?

‘The Tempest of Eerikki’ is the first book of the fantasy action adventure series ‘The Panacea Quest’. The real challenge with this book and subsequent books of the series is in keeping track of all the details.  The adage “the devil is in the detail” is true with a good fantasy novel.  Nothing worse than reading in one book the character has a couple of sons only to read in the next book or even worse the same book that the character has both sons and daughters.  While some readers may not pick this up immediately it can be disconcerting on a subconscious level. A great Editor can help with this, but I keep copious amounts of character notes that include full bio’s and backstories. I am creating this world so I should be able to keep it all straight.

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

I have a secret obsession with reading Sci-Fi Alien Romance so writers like M.K. Eidem, Anna Hackett and S.E. Smith are who I read most, and I suppose have the greatest influence over my style.  They weave tales that are entertaining and fast paced.  I very much enjoy writing to this style.  I have always found it is not the amount of words I write, its about if I am telling the story and does it entertain or touch my readers.

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

Oh well that is a hard one, I am an Aussie born and breed.  We have amazing places all over and I am very fortunate to now reside in a small hamlet in the Hunter Valley an area renowned for its Vineyards and Wineries.  It may sound very strange but If I need to say one place it would have to be my workshop. It is a beautifully converted garage that offers a perfect view of farmland with a mountain vista in the background.  It is peaceful and perfect for writing and allows for my other passion, making jewellery.

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

Not usually, I seem to have large spurts of inspiration, that give me a good story outline. These outlines have most of the basics a catchy beginning, part of the journey and drama as well as a possible ending.  From this I do like to start detailing my main characters which includes creating some of their backstory which helps me to give the characters depth.

Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘CHRYSALIS of the Creator’ book?

It was about 12 months; the book outline came to me at the same time as ‘The Tempest of Eerikki’ but there was a lot more involved with the characters and story line.  Unlike ‘The Tempest of Eerikki’ I was not sure if it was going to be a stand-alone book or part of a series.  So happy its part of a series I ended up falling in love with the characters and wanted to write more about each one of my Galactian Hero’s.

Q7. On what platforms can readers find your books to buy?

The books are on multiple platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple, Googleplus, Barnes and Noble just to mention a few in both electronic and paperback.  I am in the process of doing audiobooks and can not wait to have them available on Audible.  We can always catch up at my author website www.mariekejtreloar.site

Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Rowland, The Senator’s Son’?

I am very fortunate to have a friend who is a great photographer Peter Tyrrell.  I always had a vision that the cover should have a mysterious almost tantalising edge and of course I needed a male model with a massive set of shoulders (very fortunate that I found this in my “Secret Senator”). We took approximately 300 photos to get the right one and then there was at least twelve versions of the cover before I was satisfied with it.  Unfortunately, today the cover is the first step that will entice a reader to delve between the pages and emerge themselves in the story.
The book itself came from a ‘what if’ conversation with a friend as in – What if a respected Politician dies, leaving his eldest son with a task to protect a mysterious woman.  Who unbeknown to all is the Politian’s secret Mistress and the son falls for the woman?  The title sort of wrote itself from that story outline, hence “Rowland, The Senators Son.” The next book in the series is “Oryan, The Governor’s Man” the cover will have a similar look and feel except with a little more of a military slant.

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

I am a total genre hopper while I love writing raunchy action adventures, I always make sure there is some fairly substantial twists and turns I can never promise they will all end as happily ever after tales.
As a writer, I love the freedom that writing offers.  At any one time I usually have at least two or three stories on the go and the opportunity to switch between them is how I keep things fresh for myself.

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

Ah now let me think, “Rowland, the Senator’s Son” – I love the character of Rowland, Alexia offers him the opportunity to broaden his sexual experiences.  These encounters not only broaden his mind they strengthen his spirit giving him the courage to pursue his true destiny.
