Hyphened-Nation was inspired by my travels overseas, and time spent living in the United Kingdom. Living abroad was an eye opening experience, I grew to understand certain aspects of American culture better, the longer I lived overseas. This book is about my insights, and experience of being treated as a pure American, rather than as a hyphenated one. The difference was startling, and lead me on a journey to understand why The United States is one of the only, if not the only country, that hyphenates its citizens by ethnicity before nationality.
Those same boxes we allow ourselves to be placed into as hyphenated-Americans, limit our economic, educational, societal and cultural growth. This book focuses on ways the U.S. and Europe differ culturally via media, and how a bridge might be created. I hope this book inspires you to join the movement and, “Don’t Check the Box”. Be a catalyst for positive change.
Your stories and insights will help to light everyone's path to a brighter future.

The Mind-Mess of Happiness (Author Interview)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9GJDTGSThe Mind-Mess of Happiness looks like a great guide. Can you tell us a little about it?I spent so much time searching for happiness, peace, and contentment and learned a lot about them. I especially learned that they were something that I had to work to keep once I found them. This book basically highlights some of the ways I learned to keep my peace and contentment. I just wanted to use this book to point out some of the things that are hard-wired into our brains and block our happiness, like society’s narrative of what a happy life should look like and the bad habit we have of trying to control the uncontrollable Any plans to turn it into a series?I have an idea for part two, but it is still in its planning stages. Hopefully, I will have it ready to publish by late this year or early next year. What inspired the idea for your book?The book was inspired by my life experiences and some of the conclusions that I came to. I wanted to share what I learned with others who may be in the same mental condition I was in. How did you come up with the title for your book?Well, I figure out that a lot goes on in our minds and that negativity is the default setting to it all. I decided to play on the words because you must sort through the mess in your mind to get to your happiness and then you must work every day to hold on to it. What will readers get out of your book?I hope that they will gain understanding above all else. I hope to inspire them to re-wire the way they see the world, the way they view happiness, and the way they think. They will learn that they cannot control everything, and it is madness to even try and that happiness is not based on things we accumulate or the people around us but on the states of our minds. What do you like to do when not writing?When I’m not writing I’m reading all the romance books I can get my hands on and looking after my son Where can readers find out more about your work?I am a new author so right now while I am working on other WIPs, I am also getting my social media presence together. I am currently working on my website, Instagram, and Facebook pages. Readmore

A Man Made For Marriage (Author Interview)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7L13XSN/A Man Made for Marriage looks like a great guide. Can you tell us a little about it?The book is indeed a guide to help people who otherwise need coaching. The chapters are chock full of must have information. Odd chapters speak to men while Even chapters address women. The focus of the book is to help ladies between dates, men following a break up and couples needing to level up, or leave their existing relationship. Any plans to turn it into a series?I’m more interested in the type of book this represents. I’d like to focus even more on purpose in the next book. How long did it take you to write A Man Made for Marriage?As part of a 7-day challenge, it took me about 12 days to complete this book. The goal of the challenge was to write a 5k word book, but since my term papers were that size, I decided to push myself and complete this project with 30k words as fast as possible. Earlier this year I published a book of similar size, in about 6 months. What inspired you when writing A Man Made for Marriage?As a Relationship coach, I have listened to and helped multiple couples who are in distressed relationships. I don’t like it when women cry at night which is something that started with seeing my Mother cry when I was 8. Somehow, I was branded. From then on my quest began to help ladies choose the right man. This book gives ladies a jumpstart on stress, avoidance. Since I cannot reach everybody, I decided to write this book to extend my reach and effectiveness. What inspired the idea for your book?A client and friend of our two girls asked them if I would help her evaluate an internet date who planned to fly from the west coast to the east coast to meet her. Serving as a proxy Dad, I agreed since she had already suffered a divorce after getting married as a teenager. I had previously told her, that I would have advised against the marriage, but I wasn’t asked for my thoughts. Once the young man arrived, it was clear that he was nice man, but was the wrong man for this daughter. During the session, I realized how many millions of young women might go through this without a Father to help them. This event contributed to the writing of this book. How did you come up with the title to your book?The title came from a survey with the same name. The survey is designed to give ladies a peek into the kind of guy they are attracting. The goal of the survey is to promote conversation between the couple to help them build or abandon their plans. The book matched the name of the survey with gave us symmetry. What will readers get out of your book?Readers will get coaching insights designed to provide ready to use tools. Men and women will understand the fundamentals that builds healthy expectations in their respective relationships. Heartache and headache relief is also a major takeaway for readers who implement the principals.&n... Readmore
