00:34Hey guys, it's me, Yaya Diamond with Dream Chasers Radio
00:37I am trying to be good, I am definitely trying to be good
00:41But I don't think I can't be good
00:43I think I have like this permanent bad streak
00:47But it's okay, because I'm bad at interviewing, what?
00:52You go, girl, that's what we say
00:55That's what we say, right, Maggie?
00:56That's what we say, baby
00:58That's right
00:59That's right, we bad
01:01Super bad, huh?
01:04I'm telling you what, and I think, I thank, and I am so grateful for Reggie to be here today
01:10Thank you, Reggie, for being here with us
01:12And thank you for the book, The Missing, Missing Toe
01:15Look at that
01:16I got that in my hand right there
01:18It's physical and it's fair
01:21Thank you so much
01:22You know, I had you on the show the last time
01:25Let's kind of go back a little bit
01:26And you were here for which book the last time?
01:29It was a successful formula
01:32You know, motivational or self-help book
01:35You know, to show you if you get yourself like in any hot water or something
01:41You know, you can help yourself out of it
01:43And it's like, basically, you know, it's a book
01:46Like, whatever lane you choose in life is
01:49You know, you work it out
01:52Hopefully it's the right lane
01:53Because at the end of it, it comes rewards, not repercussions
01:57Yeah, definitely
01:58I agree with you
01:59I agree with you
01:59What was the name of the book?
02:01A Successful Formula
02:03That's right, that's right
02:04And we're going to go ahead and put that in the link in the description
02:07So that people can actually go and see that interview as well
02:10And also check out that book too
02:12Because we want to make sure that people know you're a proficient writer
02:15Come on
02:16I mean, did you ever think that you was going to be doing like more?
02:19How many books do you have?
02:21Well, with the poetry book coming out, this will be my fourth book
02:24You go, boy
02:25You so bad
02:27This will be my fourth book
02:28I said, I don't know, something just hit me, you know
02:31You know what?
02:32It just happens that way
02:33When all of a sudden it's like, you know
02:35I want to do this
02:36Like me with me
02:37It's not right
02:38But I want to remodel my entire house
02:41My husband thinks I'm crazy
02:42But I'm going to do it
02:43I'm going to remodel my whole house
02:45And so these are just things that hit you
02:48That you're like, hmm
02:49I think I want to do this
02:50And you just do it
02:51There's no excuses
02:52As you get older
02:53It's like, I'm just going to do it
02:55And it's not a complex challenge
02:58Something like the duty
02:59Because also do
03:00Like you said
03:01I write polls too
03:02Mm-hmm
03:03I know
03:04I know
03:05Wow
03:05Wow
03:06So let me go ahead
03:07It says
03:07The missing mistletoe
03:08Are exhilarating fables
03:11About Christmas experiences
03:13In writing a moral wrong
03:15All end on a high note
03:18Life is rough
03:20But we have to navigate through difficult times
03:23That is beautiful
03:25Absolutely love it
03:26So there is more than one story in here
03:29For your enjoyment
03:31I actually love it
03:33When people write different stories in one book
03:37Because you get different perspectives
03:39And you have
03:41It feels like you got more
03:43Than what you really have
03:45You know what I'm trying to say
03:46I absolutely love that
03:48I absolutely love it
03:48So tell me about
03:50The missing mistletoe
03:51And the name and the title
03:53Well
03:54I just
03:55The title
03:55I just
03:56I don't know where it came from
03:57I just thought about it
03:58I said
03:59I would try to relate the title
04:00Of that
04:02Symbolic of Christmas
04:03So I chose
04:04I chose
04:04You know
04:05The mistletoe
04:18Mm-hmm
04:19The sky is not the limit
04:21In other words
04:21The deep line
04:23Has not been drawn
04:24In the sense
04:25The views keep mounting up
04:26And it's been almost
04:27You might as well say a decade
04:28Oh my gosh
04:30Wow
04:30Wow
04:31The enchanted snow forest
04:32That is actually
04:34The very first
04:37Story in this book
04:38And then after that
04:39You have the forest avenue
04:41The house withstanding
04:43The grumpy old man
04:44A Christmas conundrum
04:47Shelby
04:48Two worlds
04:49A Christmas miracle
04:51Eight
04:52There are eight
04:53Eight stories
04:55In this beautiful book
04:56I mean
04:57Wow
04:57Why eight stories?
04:59Did you have more stories
05:00And you just chose the eight?
05:03It just stuck with me
05:04At the time
05:05You know
05:05Because it's not easy
05:06Writings
05:07I said
05:07Eight
05:08Let me
05:08Let me try eight
05:09I said
05:10I think
05:10That's
05:11You know
05:11Significant
05:12To try eight
05:13If I had some more
05:14It didn't come to my mind
05:16So I said
05:17Eight
05:17Eight would be sufficient
05:18I got you
05:20I got you
05:20I absolutely love
05:22What you've done though
05:23I mean
05:23You have not limited
05:25Yourself
05:26And you've really put up
05:28An amazing product
05:31And put your all into it
05:33What was it like
05:34To write eight short stories
05:36Though
05:36For one book
05:38Yeah
05:38I looked at some of the other
05:40World famous authors
05:42Who wrote these short
05:43Christmas allegories
05:44And it hit me one night
05:45You know
05:45And I said
05:46I put in my
05:48Perspective
05:48About Christmas
05:49And life in general
05:50I said
05:51Let me give it a go
05:52And I like the fact
05:53That they all went
05:54On a positive
05:55High note
05:56You know
05:56They're optimistic
05:57You know what I'm saying
05:58Definitely
05:59I mean
05:59You know
06:00Life has to be optimistic
06:01Even when
06:02It doesn't look like
06:03It will be
06:04We all get through
06:06You know
06:06We all get through
06:07And we're all going somewhere
06:09And
06:09Yes we are
06:10To tell you the truth
06:11I do believe
06:12That regardless
06:13Of where we end up
06:14We all end up
06:15On the
06:16The last moment
06:17Of our lives
06:18Reflecting back
06:20You know
06:20Do you have anything
06:21That you regret
06:22Not doing today
06:25I think
06:26Yeah
06:27It's about writing
06:28Because
06:28Like see
06:29I didn't
06:29I took some writing courses
06:31When I was in college
06:32But
06:32At the time
06:33It didn't hit me
06:35But now
06:35When I look back
06:36I said
06:36If I can
06:37Go back
06:3845, 50 years
06:39I would major
06:40Like maybe
06:40Get a masters
06:41In creative writing
06:42Oh
06:43That would be amazing
06:44You know
06:45That would be
06:45Kind of cool
06:46Have you ever
06:47Tried to
06:48Think of
06:48Maybe an honorary
06:50Masters
06:51Because you are
06:51Author
06:52You're an author
06:53I mean
06:53You're already
06:54A creative author
06:55You're already
06:56A creative writer
06:57Wow
06:58I think
06:58That's a good point
06:59I'm glad
07:00You mentioned that
07:01I'll look into
07:01That an honorary
07:02Masters
07:03Thank you
07:03Oh yeah
07:05Definitely
07:05Definitely
07:06You have to
07:06Definitely
07:07Do that
07:07I mean
07:08Because
07:08To me
07:09It's one of
07:09Those things
07:10That if you're
07:11Already doing it
07:12Then why go to
07:13School for it
07:15Right
07:15That's it
07:16You got a point
07:18Great
07:18So I'm going to
07:19Look into that
07:19Honorary
07:20Yeah
07:20Please do
07:21Please do
07:22So give me
07:23A synopsis
07:23What is your
07:24Favorite story
07:25In The Missing
07:26Mistletoe
07:27Okay
07:28Well
07:28The Enchanted
07:28Snow Farms
07:29And actually
07:30A Christmas
07:30Conundrum
07:31Is my favorite
07:33One
07:33Because you know
07:34What it's about
07:34It's about
07:35African Americans
07:36You know
07:37It was during
07:37The Renaissance
07:38We
07:38You know
07:39You had a lot
07:39Of African Americans
07:41And you know
07:42On display
07:43During the Renaissance
07:44There
07:44And it's about
07:44A witch
07:45You know
07:46She falls in love
07:47With this
07:48This guy named
07:49Chester
07:50But his interests
07:51Lie elsewhere
07:52And you know
07:52Obviously
07:53She's a jealous
07:54Witch
07:54She like
07:56Kidnaps his
07:58Fiance
07:58And you know
08:00Chester looks into
08:01It and all like that
08:02And you know
08:03He knows that
08:06Tree
08:06Yeah she's the witch
08:08She won't leave him alone
08:09So he pursues her
08:10And ultimately
08:12She's going to try
08:13To kill her
08:14Her fiance
08:16But guess what
08:16The ending is deep
08:18Because Chester
08:19Confronts her
08:19You know
08:20Tree
08:21And they both
08:22Wind up killing
08:23Each other
08:24What the heck
08:25Oh my goodness
08:26Oh goodness gracious
08:28I'm just saying
08:29Oh gosh
08:31Okay
08:31I wanted to read
08:32Something really quick
08:33In here
08:34And you know
08:36I think this is
08:37Kind of cool
08:37But I wanted to read
08:38Something that really
08:40Kind of takes you there
08:41Like I like your writing
08:43Because I can picture
08:44Where I'm at
08:45In the book
08:47I'm in the forest
08:48Or I'm somewhere
08:49You know
08:50So let me just read
08:51This really quick
08:51It says
08:52It was pitch black
08:54At night
08:55Night was beneficial
08:57To them
08:57The evil ladies
08:59Were thrilled
09:00They did their
09:02Dirty works
09:02And not get caught
09:05It was
09:06It's just
09:07One of those things
09:08Where it just
09:08Kind of takes me
09:09To like these ladies
09:11These evil ladies
09:12I don't know
09:13A cover of witches
09:14That's what it was
09:15A cover
09:16Yeah
09:17And I
09:17In the corrupt
09:18Cave
09:19Right
09:20Yeah
09:20In the corrupt
09:21Cave
09:21Yeah
09:22And I'm like
09:23Oh my gosh
09:23This is crazy
09:25I mean
09:26It just
09:26But you know
09:27You know
09:28You got to read
09:29The story
09:29To kind of get
09:30To the end
09:31A lot of people
09:32Tell me
09:32Oh you know
09:33Yaya
09:33You shouldn't
09:34You shouldn't
09:35Read the end
09:35Of the story
09:36I
09:36You know
09:37I'm a backwards
09:38Reader
09:40I'm sorry
09:41I read the last
09:42Chapter
09:42I always read
09:44The last chapter
09:45Because to me
09:46I want to know
09:48What happened
09:48Because I
09:50Am the inquisitive
09:51Person of
09:51How did they
09:52Get there
09:54I want to know
09:55The history
09:56Of the whole thing
09:58A lot of people
09:59Say oh you know
10:00Don't tell me
10:00The plot of the story
10:01Don't tell me
10:02The ending
10:03Tell me the ending
10:05I want to know
10:06Okay so now
10:07That I know
10:08The ending
10:08How did that happen
10:10How
10:11What were the
10:12Circumstances
10:13That got me there
10:14What were the
10:15Circumstances
10:15That happened
10:16During the whole thing
10:17I mean
10:17I can just
10:18Imagine
10:19The ups and downs
10:21Of what I'm missing
10:23I like to feel
10:24Like I'm missing
10:25Something
10:26And so
10:27I think that
10:28What you've done
10:29Is putting these
10:30Short stories
10:31Takes people
10:31Through it
10:32So fast
10:33But will you
10:34Ever write
10:35One of these
10:36Entirely
10:37I mean
10:37Have you ever
10:38Done that
10:41You mean
10:42Just one story
10:43Just on a book
10:44Yeah
10:45Not really
10:46I could have
10:47Like I said
10:47A Christmas
10:48Conundrum
10:49Or
10:50I thought maybe
10:51Like the
10:52Enchanted snow
10:52Forrest
10:53But you know
10:53On the very
10:54Last chapter
10:55About a Christmas
10:57Miracle
10:57I like that one too
10:59You have
11:01Danny
11:01What's his name
11:02Oh Emmett
11:04His father
11:05You know
11:05For almost
11:06Four Christmases
11:08He's been receiving
11:09Nothing
11:09Because his father's
11:10Overseas
11:11Fighting the war
11:12On terrorism
11:12And his mom
11:13Raises him
11:14You know
11:14And he's like
11:15You know
11:16Frustrated
11:16He's
11:17You know
11:18He's a little
11:18Disappointed
11:19The other kids
11:19Get their
11:20They're toys
11:22He doesn't have his
11:23And you know
11:25His other buddy
11:26That his name
11:27Is Ben
11:28They happen
11:29To experience
11:30The shame
11:31You know
11:31They have the same
11:32Experience
11:33And they hear
11:34Like there was
11:35Like a man
11:36Down at the
11:36You know
11:37One of the local
11:38YMCA branches
11:39You know
11:39And they
11:42You know
11:42They want to go
11:43Down there
11:43It's Christmas Eve
11:45And you know
11:45They walk on
11:46The snowy streets
11:47And all like that
11:48And when they
11:49Get inside
11:51They go up
11:52You know
11:52They knock on the door
11:53And a big burly man
11:54Comes in
11:55And you know
11:55He's like
11:56You know
11:56He's normal looking
11:57But then there's
11:58Other kids
11:59You know
11:59A room
12:00That's
12:00You know
12:01Vibration
12:01Sit around
12:02With children
12:02Don't have stories
12:03Or anything like that
12:04You know
12:04Or toys
12:05You know
12:05And you know
12:07For the short of
12:07For the time
12:08The man
12:09Transforms himself
12:10Into Santa Claus
12:12And he takes him off
12:14And to
12:15You know
12:16The North Pole
12:17Because they never
12:18Return to their real world
12:19That's their blessing
12:21They get toys for life
12:22You know
12:22Oh my gosh
12:24Look at that
12:25Who did the artwork
12:27I think
12:29The Regency Publishing
12:30They published it
12:31You know
12:31Yeah
12:32Nice
12:34Nice
