What is the most challenging part of being an indie author?

What is the most rewarding part of being an indie author? The most challenging part of being an indie author is getting others to see the vision that is birthed within you. When you don?t have others backing you or you don?t have the big name to match, it takes more time for others to buy into what you are writing.

What made you decide to become an author?

?I like to talk a lot! I figured if I can put all my thoughts and ideas on paper it will become more valuable to those who read my books.

When did you begin writing with the intention of becoming published?

I started writing my first book If You Apply These Principles in 2008. Then I went on to get published by the company Lulu.

Please tell us the titles of your current book (s): And give a brief synopsis?

-If You Apply These Principles: God Is More Practical Than We Think (2008) I used a lot of Bible Scripture from the book of Proverbs on the practicality of God and how God require work to be done on our behalf to be successful.?

-It?s The Woman You Gave Me (2009) how we can get past blaming others for past hurts and disappointments from parents, friends, spouses, and situations. Notice how the blame game started with Adam and Eve in the garden. Since the beginning of time it?s been an issue even until today.

-WISDOM: Preventing Problems before they happen (2012) Refer back to question number one for synopsis?

What one positive piece of advice would you give to other authors?

Don?t quit when things get tough and get connected to others who have the same goals as you. Networking with other authors is a powerful tool. Also support other authors and understand it?s not always about you and your work.

Tell us about your journey to publication.

For me it was tough because I didn?t know any other published authors when I wrote my first book. I just did the best I could and let the cards fall. But as time went on publishing became easier.

What next for you?

Wisdom: Preventing Problems Before They Happy by Shon Hyneman is a book that anyone from any walk of life, any age or any race should be able to relate to. Mr. Hyneman gives advice or tidbits of wisdom in various points of life that, ironically, will have readers thinking, that was/is me.

In a roundabout way, Mr. Hyneman? brings to the forefront ways we may subconsciously see the ?signs? or those ?red flags?, but somehow miss them. This in turn has the reader looking back, after a certain situation, wondering why they didn?t see that sign, because it was certainly there.

The author uses simple, easy to understand and common sense wisdom such as taking out the trash. I love that he knows if the Mrs. is going to be upset if you don?t take out the trash, there will be an argument?and he knows to keep peace in the home, the trash had better get emptied.

Shon touches on subjects from marriage to being single; from seasons to business. In each of his wisdom bits, Mr. Hyneman gives supporting biblical scripture and narrates his writing as if he was talking to any one of us. It doesn?t get any simpler than that.

I loved this book and can?t wait to read the next title from Mr. Hyneman. It is my hopes that there may also be a co-authored project from both Mr. and Mrs. Hyneman.
