Why
the title Completely Whole?
Actually,
in the middle of completing my first book, this book came to mind. I had gone
through a bad ordeal, which left me broken and scared. In order for me to write about becoming
whole, I had to experience it myself.
There were areas in my own life that I needed to confront and deal with.
Those areas that hindered me from moving forward needed to be addressed. Once
God began to point out those areas and I accepted where I was spiritually, the
healing and restoration began. The
process of becoming Completely Whole is continual for any believer desiring to
live, walks, and pursue a life on purpose.
Why
did you feel this book needed to be written?
I believe every reader might have something in their
lives that continues to either be a reoccurring issue or an area in their lives
that they are lacking or feel they have not conquered. To be whole according to Webster is to be
“free from injury or wound; to be healed and to be physically sound and
healthy.” Because we live in a world in
which we experience the ups and downs of life, we deal with heartache and pain;
sometimes these experiences leave residue that we have not been able to deal
with.
What
is your main message in Completely Whole?
Completely
Whole is one of those books that will challenge the
reader to do a self-examination of where they are as it relates to their own
spirituality. This life-changing book will help readers to transform their
spirit, soul, and body through Jesus Christ, so they can live a life of peace,
joy, and fulfillment. In Completely Whole, I offer keys to help those who
are searching for answers that can lead to a life of complete wholeness:
Spirit, Soul and Body. My focus in writing is to enrich the lives of my
readers. I had a reader make this comment about Completely Whole “It speaks” and that’s what I want it to do. I
want readers to come away knowing that they have the ability to live a full
enriched life.
What has the reaction
been like to your book?
The reviews have been great. Those that have read Completely Whole find it to be a book
which speaks to the heart.
How can this book contribute to transforming
someone’s life?
A person is transformed when they chose to apply the
spiritual principles that are outlined in Completely
Whole. Once a person identifies those self-destructive mind-sets then they
are able to deal with those issues that have kept them from walking in victory.

How
do you prepare yourself when writing a book? Is there a process you follow?
Before
doing anything, I make sure I’m in a quiet area, free from distractions. When
I’m ready to write, I sit at my laptop and begin writing. Depending on the
chapter I’m working on, that determines the direction I’ll go. I am able to
write as long as there is a constant flow
Were
there any challenges you faced in the writing process?
I think with all authors there are some types of
challenges when trying to finish a book. I’m no exception. There are many
distractions that will continue to pull for my attention be it, home, ministry,
family and/or job. I try to bring balance in my life so I can prioritize those
things that are important. I must set deadlines for myself and stick with those
deadlines.
What
can someone take away from this book?
Becoming
Completely
Whole is an internal inventory and focuses on making necessary
changes of the heart. I write non-fiction, inspirational books; so this means
my books should have a lasting effect on a person’s spirit, inspiring and
encouraging them to pursue passionately a more fulfilled life. I want my
writings to give strength and encouragement in the time of need. As they read Completely Whole, I want my writings to
engage, stimulate, and edify them spiritually.
Any words of wisdom for young writers or writers who
want to pursue a career in writing?
Promote, promote and promote some more. Learn how to brand and market yourself so
that you are known in the industry. Don’t think someone else is going to promote you better than yourself. Create a marketing plan that will expand your
territory in reaching readers.
