What motivates you to write? 

Any writer that starts writing to get rich is most often disappointed. No, most writers write because it’s impossible NOT to write. The stories build up in your head and the developed characters come alive and won’t let you rest until you write down what they are telling you.

And I know that everybody has a story which will please someone else. So, I write mine.

Yes. This is the crucial point that makes most writers doubt.

Every writer has their own idea of what a successful career in writing is, what does success in writing look like to you?

Success for me is when my audience or readers identify with my writing and can’t get rid of my books. Among other things, when the same books hit Amazon’s bestseller list, the same books can help a lot of people and my books will be cited by people for reference.

Tell us about your new book? Why did you write it?

My new book “CONVERTING FEARS INTO CONFIDENCE” is an interview exposing the truth about cancer with an expert oncologist and hematologist Dr. Med. Thomas A. Walter. 

When it comes to cancer, how can you segregate FACTS from MYTHS?

It doesn’t help to be bombarded with jargon and medical terms we are not familiar with.

With all the available information online, it can be confusing and stressful, especially for someone ill. 

I, myself, faced cancer in 2013 and dealt with it successfully so I wrote this book or interview to help people that are sick of the disease of cancer and their family who are fighting to find reliable information online to get rid of the fears they are having and gain confidence.

This is my goal.

If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone dead or alive, who would you ask? 

Hum, I never think about this before so I’ll give you the answer next time

When you are not writing, how do you like to relax? 

Reading, enjoying playing with family and friends, watching movies and traveling.

What do you hope people will take away from your writing?

To get rid of the fears of cancer and gain confidence in this 21st century.

How will your words make them feel? 

They will change their perspective on how they view it as a fatal disease and in fact listed as one of the leading causes of death in the world.
