03:05oh thank you thank you that would have cost you a lot of money
03:08so tell me how did you get started i mean when did you know
03:15that you knew that this was what you were gonna do uh well i've been a writer since i was like in
03:21middle school you know so i just been writing little novels and little short stories and stuff
03:28like that and i knew i was gonna be a little something when my mom i had back in the day i
03:34kind of wrote down this little thing and to this day you know my mom used to tell me
03:39man you should have wrote a like a book book about it but i had my first little book i ever
03:46wrote was freddie versus jason before the movie even came out what no way yeah and then my mom was
03:52like man i think you need to like write something yourself or whatever you see this book that you
03:58wrote when you were younger it came out in a nice movie so you know i just after that after she told
04:04me that i just started doing my thing did you sue them no i couldn't sue them because i was a kid
04:09i didn't know about all that stuff i was i was like 13 on your book like was it based on you okay
04:15to be honest i don't know you know um i wrote it when i was younger and i actually lost a copy
04:21of it i wrote down this little notepad and i lost it um so i i can't say but they took it
04:28they stole it they found your dog pad hey maybe you never know you know i i bet somebody else
04:35thinking the same thing as me you never know that's why you got to release stuff when you
04:38when you do it yep you got to copyright that sucker making sure it's good my gosh so let's just go
04:44down the line i'm gonna i'm i'm just not gonna do this one first because that one is just gonna get
04:48me all excited it's all i'm getting on get all you know which one it is it's just gonna get me all
04:53excited i wanted to talk about the hope and the guardians first because this is one of the books
04:59that actually jumped at me first when uh when i received this in the mail not too long ago tell
05:05me about this book and what brought this this book on for you um the book is pretty much about um this
05:12little boy who you know it's good versus evil type thing um god versus the devil type thing um but
05:20i got the idea i was actually talking to my stepdad one day and he was just telling you know i'm saying
05:25we we like talk about sci-fi and fantasy and stuff like that and you know when i'm talking to people
05:32sometimes they might say something that trigger something for me to write or whatnot so he said
05:37something and it triggered me to come up with the idea i was like you know god versus evil or whatever
05:44um but it's pretty much about this little boy who he was born into the world and he was inscripted
05:52with a tattoo on his arm the tattoo contains 10 different guardians who protect him on his way to
06:01pretty much save the world from total destruction so the devil released this entity into the world who's
06:09trying to destroy everything and then hope's job is to stop it from coming to pass wow so he has
06:16all these things coming at him his father um end up turning evil because his mom i don't want to say
06:23too much but something happened to his mom and his father ended up turning evil so his father was coming
06:29after him because he found out about the boy having you know the tattoo and gifts and stuff like that and
06:34then on top of that he's dealing with the evil entity that the devil brought forth so he just has
06:42these guardians who pop up at different times when he's younger that's pretty much what's going on in
06:46this book they pop up at different times when he's younger to kind of help him so you know he don't get
06:52killed or nothing like that wow that you know your books are not thin dude
06:58another how i mean does it just come all at once i mean how does this happen for you because i mean
07:08i'm looking at this and you said this is not
07:10this is writing this is writing tell me how does this happen for you how is your process
07:22okay so my process is is like i said usually it comes from me talking to somebody and they say
07:28something that triggers an idea and then i once i get the idea then i start writing a bunch of
07:34different notes so i'm writing different stuff that i want to be in that one specific book
07:39so when i'm writing you know i have an idea of where i want it to go but when i'm writing i
07:46actually take pieces of my note and insert it so i don't get stuck like a writer's block oh i got
07:53you i got you that i got a notepad full of notes of just specific things about what i want to happen
07:59in the book so you know when i get to a certain point i can copy and paste it somewhat that is so
08:04cool like i never thought about that i would have been like i don't have nothing in my
08:09brain i mean you know pen to paper it's like blank for the first time it's like the air goes in one
08:17end and comes out the other end it is it like my process is kind of crazy too like i actually on my
08:24on my laptop i got like 20 books that i have not written yet i do my own graphics cover designs so i
08:31make a cover for it i make a synopsis for it so that way when i need a next project i just go pull
08:37from something that i already have oh my gosh like this one yeah that actually that book came to me um
08:45i was actually in la a while ago and the girl that i went with she was actually telling me about her
08:53friend who was dealing with a married man oh so she was telling me all this different stuff about the
08:58situation and then i was like that'd be a good story you know because it's always somebody out
09:04there dealing with married men or women trying to be mistresses or people trying to blackmail people
09:09or whatever the case may be and i put all that in the book oh goodness oh goodness that's trifling
09:17like you know that yeah heartless just heartless my god okay we got to go to the one that makes me the
09:24happiest i heard the story behind this one and this is literally a guide it's not a story it's a guide
09:36hold on a second i don't think they get it
09:43yeah men yeah all right just saying just saying all right
09:48because you can't i mean i have the experience of knowing that 99.9 percent of the time men just need
09:59to be told what a woman wants don't try to hint babe i'm hungry okay go eat
10:11it's like they are so like straightforward that you gotta be like babe i want to be romantic tonight so you
10:18need to take me out i was thinking about this nice little italian restaurant down the block
10:22are you in the mood for italian are you in the mood for chinese or are you in the mood for burgers
10:28or steak i mean literally that's how it has to be am i wrong am i wrong about this well you know
10:38everybody is different you know some people was taught how to do certain things like when i was younger
10:42i was never taught stuff so i used to read a lot of books and i used to read different romantic things
10:47that you could do for a girl um flowers you know balloons prizes and stuff like that so i kind of just
10:55start implementing it in my relationships and then i just got better and better i learned more and more
11:00as i went through and that's kind of how the book started are you single
11:13oh wait that is that is not good i'm involved you involved yeah okay that's okay i'm not trying to get
11:21you anything like that don't don't get me wrong but what i am saying is that um a gentleman like you is
11:27usually not single someone who understands the complexities of a woman and when she speaks out
11:33loud and when she's speaking to you there are two different things going on there you know what i mean
11:38but like women like to hit because they want to be swept off their feet you know and this here is a swept
11:45off your feet book for the men who don't know how to sweep okay i'm just saying beautiful absolutely
11:55gorgeous i will be gifting this to my husband i'm not lying to you i will be giving this to my husband
12:03okay that is going in the that is going definitely in on his pillow babe look at this
12:13but we're talking today about the bigger one the main big
12:18book i don't know what to call it it's but it is 27 2075 branded tell me what made you
12:31what i mean there must have been a lot of notes going on there did you have like a notebook that
12:38was full and then you wrote it according to the notebook because to me the process that you have
12:44is like beautiful until you get to something like this tell me what happened it's the same process
12:53yeah because because you know on the iphone you have a little notepad in the phone
12:58i never use that thing when you get i lose my notes yeah so i i do a lot on the go because i'm
13:04always working you know i got my own business and stuff so i'm always working so i'm gonna go and
13:09i think of something i write it in a notepad what i like about that is i got an iMac so i just
13:15transfer it over to my iMac into the notepad oh that way when i'm writing on my laptop you know i can
13:21just copy and paste certain things that's why i don't like you so much you gotta work smart not
13:27hard right that's what i'm not right come on i just yeah yeah but this is beautiful so tell me i mean
13:33this is the latest it is out today yes it's out today oh my gosh congratulations we are doing this
13:40on the day that it actually comes out so i have to release it today yeah yeah so the good thing
13:46the good thing about today is since it came out today i have a free download for ebooks right now
13:53just today though after today you know it's gonna be a charge but if you make it today and you
13:58able to get the ebook you can get it for free the ebook is for you you guys take my take my advice
14:06get the book i'm gonna say get the book this you know there's nothing like having the book in your
14:13hand you go sit down in a nice corner of your house i mean and you read and you have it tangibly
14:22um i found that ebooks are good but staring at that computer or that tablet that whole time the
14:29blue light can really affect your eyes but if you truly have this you can take this anywhere to the
14:37train station to the bus you can get into the uber you can you know lunch time you can read a little bit
14:45it's it really does help with your mind to actually escape from all of the stupidity excuse me
14:51the things that are going on in this world today but definitely 2075 so um tell me about this book
15:00tell me what people should expect when they read this book okay so what i did with that book is um
15:08i actually took you know i like dinosaurs but when i see stuff about dinosaurs it's always going to a
15:17different planet and you're running to these vicious dinosaurs and they're trying to kill you or
15:21you got stuff like jurassic park where dinosaurs trying to kill you it's always about the dinosaurs
15:28trying to kill you so i want to do something different because i'm that type of writer i'm
15:34always looking for something different so what i did was i actually the story is based around uh scientists
15:42who figured out a way to brand dinosaurs to you she tapped into a dinosaur um what do you call it
15:50spiritual world and she's able to brand the dinosaurs to you at a years of 10 years old
15:57so everybody that turns 10 they have a ceremony the dinosaurs get branded to them but the thing about
16:05it is they don't pick the dinosaurs the dinosaur picks the person so it's a pretty interesting
16:13concept and it's a little different you know and a dinosaur pretty much he's there to protect them and
16:19you know they have to learn how to coincide and work together and stuff like that so the evil lady who
16:27created all of this um the god the little boy max he was actually branded in this book at the beginning
16:33you'll see it um he was branded with the strongest dinosaur i actually laid the names of the dinosaurs
16:38are the still the same but i actually labeled them with numbers so 275 is actually the number
16:46of that dinosaur that max has and then there's the the lower the number of goals the the less strength
16:54the dinosaurs have so he's branded with the strongest one and then the scientists who created all of that
17:01she was actually the one who did the ceremony and she seen that he got branded with that dinosaur
17:07specifically so she figured out a way to the brand anybody and rebrand so they can get the specific dinosaur
17:17because you can't get that specific dinosaur when you get branded because you can't choose what you want
17:24so she figured out a way to the brand and rebrand the same dinosaur to a different host
17:29oh my gosh wow you know i'll have to say this
17:34this imagination it has gone through some terrible losses i think a lot of people are losing their
17:46imaginations because of maybe you know you got um all of the technology today you got the ai um how
17:55important is it to keep your brain and your imagination going so that you could do this without
18:02you know just between you and the grammarly or whatever else to help you like edit you know what
18:08i mean but to do things like this you definitely need your imagination what is that like for you
18:15to be able to use your imagination without having to use ai without having to go to any help um even if
18:23you did but i'm talking about in the beginning i'm talking about your notes you know i mean like that
18:27that whole principles of the imagination and where the story actually originated
18:35um i would say imagination is a powerful thing because you can pretty much think of anything um
18:43my imagination comes from a lot like i said from speaking to people and then a portion portion of it
18:48comes from me actually i like i watch a lot of movies and a lot of tv shows and stuff like that
18:54so i can be watching something a specific thing and then i could be like oh what if you did this
19:00you know so the imagination is really a powerful thing because you if you think about it you use
19:07it in the world all the time because a lot of people who start businesses they have to imagine something
19:13they have to want it to go a certain place and they have to put down those key factors they want in
19:19order to succeed and that's the same thing you do with your book you imagine it you put down the key
19:24factors that you want and then you proceed right so imagination is it's a powerful thing it is and you
19:33definitely have one i mean even down to the realization of men you know you know but i absolutely love this and
19:43you have other books and if people can get this on amazon i really wanted to say that it is such a
19:52pleasure having you on the show first of all it really is i've seen so many different people that have
19:58um you know been authors and have done so many amazing things but to do a big book like this takes some
20:08i mean a lot of dedication how long did it take you to write this book um i would say probably about
20:15eight months yeah um but the thing is i don't just write one book like right now i just finished this
20:22project and i i'm actually working on two other books which i'm like 14 chapters in so i i multitask
20:30with different books so that way i'm not focusing too much on one and get wore out with it
20:36certain days i might work on that book certain days i might work on that book so it's not like i'm
20:42constantly focused on one book that keeps my mind fresh too and it's not getting wore down just from
20:48focusing on one project yeah oh my gosh wow so you do have another book that i do see on amazon it's
20:55called replenishment um yeah it is uh and then you have um all of these books here
21:05i absolutely love this and you're working on more books yeah i'm actually working on guardian part two
21:11and i'm working on how a man should treat his woman part two but it's gonna i need that book but it's
21:17gonna be called how women should treat her man oh yeah well i mean you know what i have to say this
21:23i have to say this and if i'm wrong i'm wrong men are very romantic and they want to be romance too
21:31but they like to be romancing the things that they want to do like i i'm like i like other things he
21:38likes other things and when we come together we like some mutual stuff but for the most part his
21:45romance is all about him well that's that's the thing that okay so going back to how a man should
21:54treat his woman it's set up in a way that men or woman pay attention to certain things about their
22:03partner yeah when you first learn and you first meet somebody you're gonna learn so much stuff about
22:08that person because they're gonna tell you everything so it's your your turn to take notes
22:14so things that may not seem important you know those are the things that are gonna
22:19have you create something really romantic for that person in the future yeah so for example
22:25i had i might have put it in the book i can't remember but i used to date this i was in a relationship
22:31with this girl and she was telling me how she had she used to have a cat a black and white cat that
22:36she loved or whatever but something happened and she lost it or died or something so i i remembered us
22:44having that conversation so one year on christmas i actually bought a little baby black and white cat
22:52and i put them in a box and i put them in a box and i sat them in a in a room by itself so after we
22:59finished opening gifts i was like i think i was like i hit something or whatever so she was like what
23:06i was like i hear something i think is it i think it's over here so we walked in the room and oh that's
23:13what it is and she opened the box and she almost cried her eyes out she wanted another cat so bad and
23:19she was so in love with the cat she had but it's just you know i'm saying taking those things that
23:24people tell you and you yeah to reality and use it to your advantage yeah yeah yeah and it's you know
23:31it's it's a give and take too because it's you may not like a lot of the stuff that your husband does
23:36and vice versa you may not like you know taking your girlfriend to the nail parlor i mean i don't know
23:41maybe the nail salon is where she wants to go maybe she just fantasized about getting her brows done
23:47for the very first time i mean it's not something you really are interested in but it's something
23:53that's romantic and it does pay off gentlemen you do get kudos and ladies you do too you know so these
23:59books are available amazon plus the other one as well i don't have that one in my possession however
