What do you read for pleasure?
I do read a lot but not for pleasure per say because I believe that anything I read should have a positive impart on my life or daily tries in life. Any book at all should not be read by anyone. Its impartation positively should be the core.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
I prefer reading on a laptop so I can do some research too as well
Describe your desk
Apart from my pc, my desk is full of Christian books and opened bibles.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Dansoman a suburb of Accra, Ghana. In terms of writing I had no interest; I rather had interest in soccer and was one of the worst readers in class. What actually gave me the enthusiast in writing was my calling as a Priest five years ago.
When did you first start writing?
In my early calling life as a pastor, I started having visions and revelations consistently which led me to writing them down. Later on i started putting the pieces together which then became complete books. All this began five years ago.
What's the story behind your latest book?
The main story in my new book has to do with the restoration of the earth and the Rule of Christ of all Nations
What motivated you to become an indie author?
After analyzing the extent of spreading the word of God through printed books throughout the world, I realized it would much slower and expensive. Online selling and distribution would be much cheaper and faster. With more readers preferring e-books to printed books these days, I just hard no choice than to flow with it.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
With distribution on various book stores and libraries online, Smashwords brought life and meaning to my ideal plan of reaching many with the truth of God's message.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
When lighted candle is put on a table it brightens the room and sends darkness far away. When I write, I believe i'm sharing what I have in my possession with others and this makes my happiness complete
What do your fans mean to you?
Those who hear the word of God and put it into practice are my brothers and sisters, as such I remember all of them in prayers.
What are you working on next?
My next book is called Sharpen your Spiritual Sword. Anyone who gets hold of it shall make exploits. With scripture barking prayers and the right prayers for every situation, nothing shall stand your way.
Who are your favorite authors?
Moses, King David, King Solomon, Isaiah the Prophet and Paul the Apostle. Then Kenneth Hagin, David Oyedepo and Dag Heward-Mills. Books written by these people keeps me rising forever.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
I just cant wait to see the sunset every morning, the practical walk with God and His guidance to meet with His promises daily sparks the fire in me to rise each and everyday.
