1. What really inspired you to
write your book, to force you from taking an idea or experience and conveying
it into a book? Basically as I go about my
life I keep figuring out what is important to me or working to do that. I think
about ways to play tennis and to learn tennis. Also, I keep working to find my
song, my swing and ways to help others find their swing.
2. What is it about and whom do
you believe is your targeted reader? To
families and especially to young people looking to find their song, their swing
in life.
3. What do you hope will be the
everlasting thoughts for readers who finish your book? What should remain with
them long after putting it down? As I have read this book over these last
times there is a little zen idea where one brings one’s mind back to the
present and one lets go… an emptying…
4. What advice or words of
wisdom do you have for fellow writers? To
be thankful for the opportunity to write and sort out things in our life.
5. What trends in the book world do you see and where do you think the book publishing industry is heading? Looks like it is going towards a digital ebook and audiobook direction where people are reading on their devices and possibly reading less novels. For me audiobooks are fun. Still, I like a traditional book because I can put it down when I want, there are no batteries, and I can give the book to someone.

6. What great challenges did
you have in writing your book? No big
challenge. It is just an expression of my life.
7. If people can only buy one
book this month, why should it be yours?
It is just a light little book that may help one to think. The audiobook of
this book is beautiful. When the book is read out loud slowly it is like a meditation.
