Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grow up in one of the five boroughs of the City of New York, the Bronx's lower ghettoes. As a child my sanctuary was the library and the Catholic Church, to escape the poverty, crime and filth. I was taught the Catholicism of Christian beliefs. The Church and faith has been attacked due to hidden crimes of some priests, so I was lost and did not have respect for the religious aspects of this sector and started a faith journey of my own. I researched different faiths and the new age, all leading to an awakening of a deeper spiritual understanding. That religion was not the answer, the answers lay with each one of us and our connection to a higher force, be God, Jesus or other saviors. I felt the world lack spiritual understanding and needed material to awaken their inner light to start their own journey to fulfillment. Thus spiritual fantasy stories being born from my childhood experience and my wild muse. Written for entertainment and maybe to hear a message to light the reader's own flame of light and bring a smile to their faces. Thank you for stopping by and may the Smashwords authors be your light in the darkness.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Sharing and helping others to find answers to questions about their spirituality. Help others who feel lost, alone or misunderstood by society about themselves, ideas or beliefs. I believe there is a supreme being or divine spark unseen and seen surrounding us. We are never alone, we are loved, for we were create to live, breath and believe the impossible is the possible on a amazing planet. Our purpose to bring gifts to humanity and experience divine love on Earth and in the afterlife. We are teachers, mentors and one family living a spiritual existence in a human vessel. We are here to help raise consciousness and used the arts such as writing to express these messages, and never to give up. The greatest joy is to know someone benefited from my knowledge and sharing what they gleam be it love or another emotion though my creativity.

  • Temperature: Dead and Rising on May 21, 2011

    The cover attracted this reader to want to read what was between the covers. Thinking it was another zombie book, I was pleasantly surprised by the writings and incorporation of all sorts of characters from vampires, werewolves, ghosts, even the Sac squash creature, oh don't forget the shift changers. The book borders on horror but there are comedic scenes in it. I read one to my teens and they went off to debate making up their own fantasy characters. The sarcastic twist on life in general keeps the reader entertained and compels them to want to complete this short story. The lure of wild insane lusty sex about to occur and proof, The tricks and devices to contain the characters are genius; golden handcuffs, liquid portions, and other trinkets. The traitors following their enemies. The fighting scenes. The visions of horrific death, makes the reader's heart race. The addition of other characters being hunted and the action scenes make this book worth the purchase price alone. The element of chase keeps the rider anticipating the capture or rescue of the heroesas they are chased into hid-outs. The conclusion is powerful yet leaves the reader wanting more. 4.5 stars if possible. 4, can't mark .5 star. In the author's words; The coming trial looked bleak. There were only so may ways that a you dismember a body, unless Mathyas was busy dreaming up new and crueler ways to deal the sentence out. Bo would not put it past him to try out new twisted torture to liven up the crowd. This is a keeper and should be stored in your library. A book to take out to chase away the blues at the same time get your heart racing.

  • Cavalier's Call on Jan. 15, 2012

    An amazing tale of the 14th Century Portugal Independence Cavalier's Call by Grant de Graf is an amazing 14th Century tale of the spirit and atmosphere that preceded Portugal's Independence. The Amazon pitch describes the story as: a court room drama that penetrates some of the deepest secrets of royal protocol. João de Aviz, the infante, leads the battle of the downtrodden against the experienced and wealthy prosecutor, Don Antonio Esteves. When João is forced to flee the palace with the woman that he loves, the daughter of his most bitter opponent, Ines Peres Esteves, matters intensify. Cavalier’s Call is a woven tapestry of the history of Portugal’s fourteenth century kingdom with enthralling tales of its struggles towards independence. It highlights the daily rituals, traditions and lifestyle of the times. The colorful characters, the infante/royal son, second in command for the throne, makes this novel a highly suspenseful read, as it describes the rise of a kingdom in perilous times. The story opens with the royal bond between father and the infant (royal son), ostensibly being groomed for the future throne. It is a fast-paced, heart-stimulating action adventure from beginning to end, where father challenges his son in life’s experiences, and teaches him the skills necessary to protect him and serve his kingdom, with pride and justice. It highlights all of his accomplishments and his rise to power. The novel is a complex and gripping tale, as the author describes in his YouTube trailer (link below). The father’s and the son's mentors accomplish their mission to educate the infant in all the skills necessary to become a powerful ruler and to win Portugal’s independence. He is brought up to believe that he is to rule the Portuguese kingdom with loyalty, trust and authority, as a true royal king would, in empowering his territory. The author focuses on some focal developmental points that are experienced by the royal son in becoming a leader, by including conflict with foes, rafting mighty rivers, fencing, horsemanship, and other events that protect the country's honor and loved ones. He stops at nothing to achieve victory. The story line includes a compelling theme of a blossoming romance with a fair maiden. However, there are obstacles in the way. Will João win his princess or lose her to a conquering mate? The reader senses the peril, as the main character and his friends fend for the weak, while they fight and challenge their foes. João continually strives to capture the woman's heart of his dreams and to deflect other challenges in his path. The question that perseveres is that with all that he has to confront, will he or will he not be victorious? Will he be a son that his father would be proud of? In all, it is a delightful story about the 14th century and life of a royal empire: Viva Portugal and her independence. The author has the flair of penning his words to absorb the reader's mind in the scenery and actions of the story with highlights of the daily lifestyle of royalty during those times. This extends to accounts of serving one's country, to the intense training necessary to become a strong military leader, mixed with glamour and romantic visions of capturing a fair maiden's heart. The historical fiction work was elegantly written, to the extent that I felt as though I was hypnotically journeying with the colorful characters from the novel, the infante, a fair maiden, the courts, the generals and their companions. I was part of their adventures and shared in the emotional development of the main character, from child to adult, from loyal patriot to almighty knight, from prince to future ruler of a powerful kingdom, which was always under threat and that needed capable personalities to defend her, against the threats of those times. The YouTube Cavalier’s Call trailer describes the novel as a historic novel celebrating Portugal's independence of 1385. The story captures the mood and spirit of the era that lead to the Age of Discovery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aepOBq5bPMc&feature=BFa&list=UUZbBcEcOpMGuWOh-2Zisnxg&lf=plcp https://www.facebook.com/cavalierscall?sk=app_4949752878

  • When God Whispers Loudly on March 01, 2012

    Silence is Golden; Listen to the wind and trees, your mind, messages everywhere. In the Author's words;“ How does a promotion compare with this: to see my children grown and successful: committed to God and enjoying the peace only He can bring—to see my wife, cared for and surrounded by them, a loving family knit so close together? If I’d been promoted, it could in no way have added to this great treasure.” “Yes, I will tell them. I will call them, and I will tell them this same message I’ve been telling you for so long…this message you chose not to hear. Why did you ignore me, dear child? I told you every day, and showed you in a thousand ways, but you were too busy to listen. How loudly must I whisper before you hear Me?” They’re instructions, not memories—God sent me instructions in my dream. " Above paragraphs are some of the written words by this author in this short enlightening story about listening to your inner conscious, to be still and know I am God. This author wrote a brief story about how a father worrying about his family was engrossed in the earthly realm obsessed with earning the money to pay for shelter, food and clothing for his family. So involved he missed the spiritual messages surrounding him every day, calling out for his attention. Until a promotion is taken away and he is angry at God for his misfortunate and being distracted gets into an accident. Not to give any spoilers this reader will tell you to read to the conclusion to see the transformation this father and family go through suffering through the darkness to come into the light. This author should develop this narrative into a short story or spiritual messages. The masses definitely need substance today to fight the fears and doubts in all our hearts. As a reader if the author develops his thoughts into more concentration messages I would read his works. There are hints of other works in the future. It was light reading and an introduction to other works and his internet site; http://terreldor.net/ He is talented enough to write his thoughts and developed them into stories similar to Chicken Soup for the Soul. I give it four stars because it is not a book yet. But hints there are other books are coming to Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook, Smashwords.com, iTunes, and other fine outlets: As a reader I will be looking for them.

    In the author's words; “About noticing things, like my being cold. It was very nice of you. I was wet and cold, but my having a bad day is really not your doing. My life is going downhill and today I hit a new low.” She had a forced flippant tone to her voice, but he couldn’t see her eyes as she arranged her coat on the back of the chair. Underneath she had on a flowing blouse with an abstract pattern of browns, black and white, topped off by a black velveteen vest. Her outfit reminded him of a gypsy. The waitress topped off his coffee. “Could I have some coffee, too, please?” she asked the waitress, before turning back to Jake. “I didn’t catch your name earlier.” “Jake Hardy” he stretched out his hand automatically. Marian wondered how her life had taken such a sudden turn. She felt like she was being blown in a new direction by forces beyond her control, like in a dream, only she knew she was awake. She felt a twinge of regret when they pulled into the driveway of an old gray house with peeling paint." These are two paragraphs out of this delightful story about choices people made every day. The Pastor Jake could of pass up Marian, a young woman standing in the pouring rain and was lost and angry at life and the Almighty. He could of splash her and went on his way. Some inner voice tugged at his heart and he stopped and picked up the lost child, woman with many talents and assisted her to pick up her life and give her opportunities in his choir and church that opened doors for her and help him learn about his own insight as well as others.

When they arrived they were in for a rude awakening and met shady as well as kind hearted people and learn many valuable lessons in their journey to discover happiness and many moral lessons away from home and when they returned to the kingdom, they had to prove who they were.

  • Velvet Dawn (The Red Velvet Trilogy) on Nov. 23, 2012

  • Huna, Ancient Miracle Healing Practices and The Future of Medicine on Feb. 15, 2013

    As a reader and an individual ill with physicians diagnosed as progressive MS, I was looking for an inspirational book,about Eastern Health, not Western. Tired of all the misdiagnoses, the surgeries and all the side effects of the medications. I started to research ancient healing practices. Huna, from Hawaiians and ancient times practices, is an natural healing energy we all have ingrained in our vessels and minds. Thus the saying mind over body, can be the great practitioner of healing an illness, condition or maintain good health. As I read through the book, alot of the concepts and knowledge rang a inner bell in my conscious and as a reader and patient I can testified that my mind has been negative lately and that it does affect one's health. There are some very informed knowledge in this book, and it can be a refreshing starting guide to take charge of your mind and help your body heal or increase your vitality instead of asking and crying "Why Me?" It has techniques and information to tap into a hidden source to improve your health, and helps one to look forward to discovering more about yourself, as a person and patient as you shed the negative shadows and skeletons out of your mind and give the body and being the strength to recover from many years of abuse. It is written by a physician and it is recommend that you do not stop taking medications or visiting the doctor, but integrating this Eastern theories in your schedule. In the author's words; "The Huna concept of illness matches very well the work of psychoneuroimmunobiology researchers. We are our thoughts. In 1637, René Descartes, the father of modern scientific theory from which modern medicine arises wrote, 'I think therefore I am.' He was not trying to prove that we existed but in writing this he opened the door to recognize that our thoughts are import and that they do in many ways shape us and the life we live. Our thoughts can either heal us and help us grow and evolve or they hinder us and hurt us, mold us in a way that causes illness and leads to more and more suffering. The Huna master recognized these hurts, pain and dysfunctions as important causes of the illnesses we humans suffer. Clearly, Huna works both for self healing and for facilitation of the skills and capacities of all physicians. It empowers us to positively affect our own life and body through how we live and what we think. Huna can and does also demonstrate how illness and disease can take hold of us and undermine who we are. With a deeper understanding of Huna we can see that illness is an Intelligent act of the body in response to our thoughts, feelings, emotions and lifestyle. As we will soon see, illness is most commonly, but not entirely, mediated through the stress mechanism. For our faulty beliefs and lies act against us not only on a cellular level but through the tension they create in the body, stress." As a reader I highly recommend this book for all interest in maintaining and improving your mind, body and spirit to be united and bring balance back to your being.
  • Destiny Unfulfilled on April 25, 2013

    Destiny Unfilled by Seight Byproxy, and edited By Stephen L. Wilson It is a short novella. It describes the scientific methods how the human beings were created and over time their DNA was transformed form one level of energy to higher levels of energy and knowledge. The masses are being monitor from a higher being and species. S8 is their relay technician and observer. The other character in the story is the controlled vessel, a human who was to be call as a messenger. It is written as a laboratory experiment, yet to this author it was an alert that the earth is under the microscope and if the solution is not resolve then doom's day may be around the corner. It explains that earth is an observation station and that the One is among the masses, and he or she needs to be in contact with the higher realm to prove that humanity is worth saving and allow to exist to move into the higher dimension. That the one will be advanced in all fields of education, physics, laws of metaphysics, mathematical, and other advanced studies, of telekinesis, and paranormal sixth sense awareness. Have an open mind to all the distorted beliefs of the religious beliefs and the corruption that plagues the earth. He or she will question all decisions made by governmental and national leaders and protest against the cruelty of wars. They will be able to tap into non- definite unseen energies forces to move the planet toward a higher awakening. That the supernatural occurrences from the crop circles to other unexplained occurrences happen through the energy forces hidden in the universe and is utilized by higher beings as a test, to bring the One to come to them. The higher beings walked among humanity before civilization began and when the experiment went wrong, and the energy decreased, negative energy and regression actions came from humanity, instead of expanding their minds, then the human race was extinguished and some survive, to continue the experiment with alter genetics, to be more advance then the rest of humankind. The threats on the horizon like the Y2K of 2000 crash and the 2012 end of the world may of pass but if humanity does not cooperate with the aliens and they cannot find the One residing on this planet, the experiment will fail and so will the existence of the human race. It is an interesting concept that a force above the 3rd realm we resided in is controlling the experiment and if the One, the earthly master does not come of hiding with all gifts intact, to save the masses, Doom's day may not be that far off. In the author's words: "Humans are the only hominid to have 23 pairs of chromosomes. All other hominids have 24. It is clear that this is due to the fusion of two chromosomes in humans. They are fused together end to end, creating a unique chromosome with equally unique properties [Figs. 2, 3]. Little is known by the MNO colony regarding the function of this odd union. The ability to manipulate specific DNA was a result of the hybrids’ scientific technology - i.e., S8’s use of energy so that the Anunnaki science would advance the MNO experiment toward The Objective. The Anunnaki were programmed by S8 to create this technology. By fusing the chromosomes of all humanoids, the hybrids knew that the creatures would then possess empathy, compassion and trust, among other traits useful for mass mind control." This reader believes that transforming DNA's reconstruction is occurring, as birth defects are a reality, why then not the ability to untapped the dominant mind and discover a secret code ingrain in our DNA structure and may be waiting for the right sign, may it be spiritual or an alien sound. This book is definitely a topic to investigate, for you never know what lies beyond the unseen. Life continues on, and energies as well as intelligence may be the answer and key that may unlock the secret. Be daring and venture into reading this and other works and open your mind to all, and become prepare just in case.
