Interview With Author Leslie Feast

  


 

1.      What inspired you to write this book?

We are all here trying to navigate this life and it is a battle between good and evil. Or sometimes with our own minds and upbringing, depending on our families and the country we are born into and so with these struggles and mainly to find love, I felt inspired that this book will help others deal with the many issues we all face each day and so with this story hopefully will inspire the reader to make changes and know they are not alone in this struggle to find love or answers we all face. We never know what tomorrow holds, so never give up.

 

2.      What exactly is it about and who is it written for?

The story is about a person we call Pilgrim who just can’t seem to understand why life is so difficult and decides that if there is a God, he should try and find this supreme being on the holy mountain mentioned in the bible and hopefully find what life is about and maybe see if he is loved.

 

3.      What do you hope readers will get out of reading your book?

It is my hope the reader finds that the mind or ego can trick you into believing false information because it sounds like a good thing at the time. That the only person you can trust is yourself and your own intuition. We all make mistakes but can we accept and forgive ourselves. The challenges can be life threatening but if we just hold onto the love of God, we will make it successfully to the end and maybe just find true love in the process.

 

4.      How did you decide on your book’s title and cover design?

Austin Macauley publishers offered the cover but I decided that the title was that we are pilgrims in life trying to make sense of it all.

 

5.      What advice or words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers – other than run!?

Never, ever give up, even as it may seems like hopeless. I want the reader to know that the sky is blue even if a few storm clouds block the view from time to time.

 

6.      Were there experiences in your personal life or career that came in handy when writing this book? 

These are covered in the book and as they say I had a few Taylor Swift moments and then wrote about it. I was rich once and then got robbed of all my savings and work. My love partner cheated on me while I was trying to get my life back together and the few friends I had also left. It was then that I had a spiritual experience that changed my life with the appearance of Archangel Michael who lit up my room while I was trying to recalibrate my life. It was from that experience I have written over 5 books and now work to help others find their pathway of love for life.

 

7.      How would you describe your writing style?

Which writers or books is your writing similar to?

Straight from the heart and I love books like Dan Brown writes. Only wish I was as talented as him or J K Rowlands.

 

8.      What challenges did you overcome in the writing of this book?

Nothing really, it just seemed to flow once I got started.

 

9.      If people can buy or read one book this week or month, why should it be yours?

I believe that this book has guidelines to help anyone overcome the pitfalls of life issues. It is about inspiring you to never give up and find hope even if a situation looks hopeless. There is divine help for us all, if we with a true heart ask for help. I believe it is truly given. Thank you.
