How did you come up with ideas for this book?

At the grieving period of my life when I lost my wife, I was looking for someone to come to my rescue, but help didn’t come as I hope it would. After waiting and seeing my life slowing going down, I decided that no one is coming, so life ended up what I made it out to be. The idea for this book came to me in an unusual way. I was sitting at the computer one day just putting some thoughts down about my past experience of what I went through, then one thing lead to next, and this book was established.

Who are your main character(s)?

The main characters in the book are Carl Mathis, and his three sons Jaron, Carl JR and Torrey Mathis.

• Did you have a favorite character(s)? Who and why? No
• Did you have to do quite a bit of research for this novel?

I did some, but because this book was about my experience, it was like researching me.

What do you hope readers will learn/discover from reading Life is what you make it: seven steps to moving forward?

I hope the readers read the book with an open mind and be ready for changes! Great things are in store for every life that yearns for the Truth, and when you embrace it, the way you see life will completely change for the better. Remember: it's all up to you. One can accomplish anything he/she puts their mind to.
Okay, a not-so-fun question. How important are reviews to you as a writer?Reviews are very important, because this tells me what at lease some of the readers are saying, plus it gives value and credibility to your work.
