Against The Gates of Hell Virtual Book Tour with Mylow Young


Purchase at Amazon.com
About the Book


He had always looked down on those who partook and pedaled drugs which claimed the lives of many in the streets.  Now Kerby Wilson finds himself duped by his own pride and going down a very desperate path of his own.  Distraught over the death of his parents and, the murder of a fellow police officer, Kerby alienates those closest to him, pushing them away-his wife, brother, police force buddies and old friends. As the bottom falls out of his life and darkness consumes his soul, he sells all that he holds dear for an elusive state of peace.
Herby, Kerby’s identical twin brother is angry with Kerby for turning on his family, friends, and the police force and for going down this destructive path. As his heart hardens and he is caught up in his own battle of resentment and bitterness, he tries to shut Kerby out. But Rene, his God-fearing wife won’t allow that to happen. Instead she continually appeals to his conscience, reminding him of God’s unfailing love and Kerby’s need for his help.
When Kerby uses his past identity as a police officer to rob the biggest drug dealer in Philly, a price is put on his head. Learning of Kerby’s latest antics, Herby, family and friends are challenged to push past their struggles to help keep him alive and break free of his addiction.




How did you become a writer?
I don’t think a question like this can be answered in particular. I guess over the years, starting at a young age writing was my way of expression since I didn’t feel that anyone listened to me or cared about what I had to say. More recently though after going through addiction I wanted to spread the same hope in Christ that I had found. I wanted to be an inspiration… encourage others who saw no way out.

Where does your inspiration for your characters come from?
Many of my characters are real or should I say are inspired by real people (Mo-Mo in particular). For the most part though, the characters are versions of myself… where I was, where I am and where I strive to be. Almost all the characters are named after people who have been, in some way, special in my life, contributing in some way to who I am and I wanted to honor them in this way.

What are you hoping readers take from your book?
One thing I want the reader to take away is what the drug addict deals with internally and emotionally. There is such a level of shame, humiliation and a very deep sense of worthlessness. An addict seeks the fulfillment of love, acceptance and approval. That’s the whole reason to find a way to fill the void. Another is the warfare the person struggling with addiction faces on a moment by moment basis. I also want my readers to be able to identify with a character so I try to create characters that have everyday life issues… deep stuff that no one wants to talk about. But the core of my message is that God wants us to know our value to Him regardless of our life controlling issue. He wants us to know who we are in Him… that we are His righteousness, completely forgiven in Christ and fully accepted! 

If you were to write a book about a controversial topic, what would it be?
The Segregation in the Body of Christ… or, maybe something dealing with the “religious spirit” in the Body of Christ.

Most writers have a process or method for writing their books, what is yours? 
I write a lot of dialogue because I want the reader to have a sense of presence, like you’re right there experiencing the story yourself. Then I try and be as descriptive in the moments…

What is your favorite genre of books?
Used to be autobiographies… now… books that help you understand the Christ lifestyle.

Are you an avid or occasional reader?
Oddly enough I don’t read much at all anymore… hardly ever.

What are two things you want your readers to know about you?
That I am sincere, that I am human and still struggle with life, that I am an optimist with eternal hope! There is always hope… always!

If you could interview one of your favorite authors, who would it be? Why?
Wow… Watchman Nee… my favorite of all time. I would like to have known his thoughts on total surrender and holiness living in today’s society.

What is or was your dream job?
I used to work at a TV station in Philly. One of my jobs was as studio coordinator on a sports show… The Randall Cunningham Show. I got to meet and spend time with many Philadelphia Eagles team members, coaches, even the owner of the team. I also got to meet other celebrities from all areas of sports and entertainment. As far as a dream job today? I entertain thoughts of writing for a TV show that I created as well as hosting a talk radio show dealing with the more controversial subjects of life… I love to call out the “religious” folks when it comes to areas of addiction and homelessness, etc. too many wanna be or “supposed to be” Christians have some “special” ways of showing Christ-like-ness…

What new projects are you working on?
I’m always writing poetry and I’m throwing around thoughts of a book of short stories. But right now I’m doing the sequel to “Gates of Hell”.  My intention is to do a series, a progression in the lives of Kerby, his family and other characters as well as creating new ones. In it I want deal with the gang life verses manhood, real fatherhood verses baby daddies and the treatment of our women… subjects that seem to be lost in our world today.

Invisible Enemies Book Tour with Lynda Brown

About the Author
Lynda D. Brown lives in St. Louis MO. She has one married son and a beautiful grandson. This is her second book, her first book, Once I Was Lost, was released in April of 2006, and she immediately began working on Invisible Enemies, which took four years to complete. Lynda has been researching Spiritual Warfare for the last six years, and in these last days, she wants to make sure that God's people do not perish due to lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6)
As an avid science fiction fan and a lover of all things supernatural, author Lynda D. Brown’s supernatural thriller series, Invisible Enemies is creating quite a buzz in the independent publishing field. Book one, Invisible Enemies was published in 2010 and became an immediate hit in the authors local library, and when book two, Seed of Satan: Leah’s Story, Book Two of the Invisible Enemies Series, arrived in January 2012, all copies were immediately checked out by fans that eagerly waited over a year for the sequel.
Visit the Author: http://www.authorchat.info

How did you become a writer?
I became a writer due to my love of reading from an early age. I can honestly say that I read pretty much anything thing. I live by my motto, that Knowledge is Power. I didn’t pursue a career as an author until 2004, when I published my first book, Once I Was Lost, with a traditional publisher, and enjoyed the experience.

Where does your inspiration for your characters come from?
All the characters in my book are based on either my personal life, or friends and family members that have gone through some of the issues and drama that Abby and her sister Candace deal with. From the age of sixteen until 2004, I was very much into the New Age movement, reading tarot cards, creating horoscope charts for clients, drinking, getting high, etc…

What are you hoping readers take from your book?
That no matter what life throws your way, God is still in control. It doesn’t matter if you believe in Him or not, He is the Supreme Being that is in totally control of our destiny. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done or haven’t done in your life, if God can use you, He will. I also want readers of Christian fiction to read about a church that embraces and uses the power, authority and dominion that Jesus died on the cross to restore back to the church. Invisible Enemies is really about this great church, Grace Faith Temple, that’s run by a mighty man of God, who does not tolerate shenanigans in God’s house.

If you were to write a book about a controversial topic, what would it be?
Funny you should ask that, book 3 in the Invisible Enemies Series, tentatively titled, The Devil and Sister Ford, will be dealing with the lack of power in the church. Why are there so many defeated Christians not living the life that God promised each of us as heirs to Abraham? Why is the church not teaching the congregation about spiritual warfare, and how to walk in their blood bought right of authority, power and dominion? These are some of the topics I want to address in book 3.

Most writers have a process or method for writing their books, what is yours?
I have to visualize the story in my mind first, I want to know what my beginning, middle and ending will be before I even began typing. Of course, once I began writing the story, the characters take on a life of their own, and it’s very fascinating to see how it all ends. Invisible Enemies was originally slated to be just one book, but once the characters began developing, I realized that I had a book series on my hands.

What is your favorite genre of books?
Supernatural fiction. I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan, actually a Trekkie from the original Star Trek series with Captain Kirk, and Mr. Spock. Once God led me to Genesis 6 in 1997, I became hooked on all the supernatural events that took place in the Bible.

Are you an avid or occasional reader?
Avid

What are two things you want your readers to know about you?
That I have a deep commitment to winning souls for the Kingdom of God with my book series, and two, that not all Christians are quiet, stately or boring, I have a wacky sense of humor, and I really enjoy making people laugh.


If you could interview one of your favorite authors, who would it be?
Frank Peretti- He wrote This Present Darkness, and Piercing the Darkness

Why?
I would love to ask him what kind of spiritual attack he was under while writing the two books mentioned above. I had read that he experienced a hearing loss after the books came out, and I know that any time you expose the enemy’s schemes and machinations, you’re subject to all kinds of demonic attacks.

What is or was your dream job?
My dream job would be a full time author, writing screenplays and watching my books climb up the charts and hit the best sellers list while millions of souls are being saved. Runner up would be my current job,
 as a  Public Technology Assistant at the St. Louis Public Library…I help library patrons that need assistance using the Internet or our reference machines.
What new projects are you working on?

I’m currently working on book 3 of the Invisible Enemies Series and scheduling authors to appear on The Author Chat Show, my online radio show and website that promotes self published authors.

Where can readers find you?
My books are available exclusively on Amazon.com. Readers can purchase the print book for $9.99 or the eBook for $2.99

About the Book
Inspired by the Book of Job, Invisible Enemies reminds us that no matter what life throws our way, God is still in control! When God chooses Abby Harris as a pawn in his wager against Satan, poor Abby's life is turned upside down. Banned from her beloved church, Abby's hanging out with a new crew, drinking and getting high. When she runs into her sister's ex-boyfriend, they begin dating and soon she's pregnant and marries Randy Nelson. When the marriage turns sour, due to Randy's infidelities, Abby’s heart grows cold. By chance, she runs into a music producer who hears her singing, and overnight she becomes an R&B sensation. Abby plots to take her twins and leave her husband. When Randy finds out, he teams up with his ex, Candace, Abby's vengeful sister, to destroy her.

Coming Home Book Tour with Stacy Hawkins Adams

How did you become a writer?

I've been a writer since childhood, when I began by writing short stories and poems. I loved writing so much that I majored in journalism in college, and went on to become a daily newspaper reporter. I worked as a metro desk reporter in Florida and in Richmond, Virginia (where I now live), and my first and second novels were written while I still worked full-time at the Richmond Times-Dispatch. I ended my 14-year newspaper journalism career in 2006 so I could focus on writing novels and freelancing. 


Where does your inspiration for your characters come from?

A lot of it comes from the daily news and women's issues that I hear being discussed over and over. Sometimes it may come from interactions with readers in which I hear them voicing the same concern, fear or need, independently of each other. And often I'll have a particular issue I want to address, based on what I'm hearing from my readers, and I'll craft a character, or a creative plot, to help me accomplish my goal.

What are you hoping readers take from your book?

I'm hoping readers of Coming Home will receive the message that while it isn't easy to forgive, it's not impossible, and that when that goal has been accomplished, one can begin to fully live again. I also want them to see the beauty and power of sacrificial love. That isn't easy either, but it's not unrealistic, and sometimes it can be life-changing for everyone involved.  

If you were to write a book about a controversial topic, what would it be?

There are numerous topics that could be considered controversial, depending on the reader, but my goal in everything I write is to explore real issues and help the characters (and my readers) figure out how to handle those issues through a framework of faith. I've written in the past about homosexuality, teen pregnancy, domestic abuse, adultery and what could pass for prostitution. I don't shy away from those kinds of topics, but if I'm going to write about them, it's for a particular purpose -  to help my readers learn a lesson or gain a deeper understanding of a particular character's issues and needs.

Most writers have a process or method for writing their books, what is yours? 

There are two things I do every time I write a book: First, I give my main characters a life history. I write a summary of their age, their education, their birth order, their personality, their favorite colors, etc. so I can begin to understand what would motivate each person, and what he or she would likely to do in a particular situation. The next thing I do is spend time with these characters for several months, just thinking about them as if they're real people, asking myself "what if" questions, before I write one word. Doing this helps me to "know" them better, so that by the time I sit down to write, it's an easier process, because I am writing based on how the character would handle each situation or crisis, versus what I would have him or her do.  

What is your favorite genre of books?

I love a range of books. When I'm writing fiction, I tend to steer clear of novels, just so my own work remains pure. So that means I read a lot of nonfiction. I read everything from inspirational and devotional books to titles like Steve Job's biography or one of Malcolm Gladwell's book. I also enjoy books like Isabel Wilkerson's "The Warmth of Other Suns" and "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks."

Are you an avid or occasional reader?

Both! :) When I'm super busy I don't read as often as I'd like, and yet, I love and breath reading and writing. So even when I can't settle down with a good book on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and read for a long stretch of time, I'll read a chapter each night, to at least move myself forward and stay engaged. I have several books on my nightstand, and I read from one of them every night and another sometimes in the mornings.


What are two things you want your readers to know about you?

I'd love them to know that I'm sincerely grateful that they take the time to buy and read my books and often reach out to me to let me know how my characters and stories have touched them. I don't take them for granted! 

I'd also like them to know that I pray over each book, as I'm writing each chapter, so that the book will make an impact. I definitely want them to be entertained, but I also want them to finish my books feeling inspired and hopefully blessed. 

And if I can add a third thing, I guess I'd like them to know that even though I can be an introvert and sometimes shy, I actually love people and love to laugh and make others laugh. 

If you could interview one of your favorite authors, who would it be? Why?

J. California Cooper. She is so wise, and she writes in a way that teaches life lessons without preaching. I'd love to understand her writing process and what motivates her as a writer.


What is or was your dream job?

This is it! :) I started writing at age 5 and declared at age 8 that someday I would be an author. Even as a child, I had the privilege of seeing the joy and light my writing gave others, and I've always wanted to do this. I'm grateful to be living my dream. 

What new projects are you working on?

I'm working on the sequel to Coming Home. It will be released in March or April 2013, so I'm writing fast and furious these days!

Brent had cheated on Dayna and coldly said goodbye to her seven long years ago—dashing her hopes of having children or growing old with the love of her life.
Working hard to make herself successful as a hospital executive, Dayna has moved on, finding comfort in a new relationship with a faith-filled colleague, Warren.
But when Brent resurfaces on her doorstep at just the wrong time, Dayna’s heart threatens to come unglued. Why is Brent asking for forgiveness now? And why are he and his new wife, Tamara, interested in reconciliation with Dayna? The unbelievable answers begin to surface as Brent boldly asks Dayna to support him at the most crucial time of his life.
While Tamara’s heart brims with guilt, both women will discover what it means to reach beyond pain and baggage to love unconditionally, while leaving the consequences to God.
