Hello Dr. Cindy, welcome to BrandEducation! What’s your favorite word and why? It’s actually two words: “Thank you.” I say, “Thank you”. I think it is a very underutilized phrase. We throw it around all the time, but when I say it, I really mean it and take time to convey that. I say, “Thank you” by hand-writing notes and by returning favors. I practice gratitude and I let people know when I’m grateful for them. What’s the last book you read? Funny enough, the last book I read is my own: Sell Yourself: How to Create, Live, and Sell…
by Judith Kambia Obatusa I believe that life is too short to live scared, I say that now with all assurance after living through a pandemic and battling anxiety for close to two years. It was a battle indeed but one from which my life metamorphized from the larva of self denigration into the chrysalis of self awareness and now I’ve been set free to fly like a butterfly into the essence of my being here on earth. Unlike a butterfly however, human metamorphosis takes pain and discomfort. It also takes courage, the courage to do new things. During the…
Hi. I’m Lucy Pussett. My first novel, Diary of a Contemporary Woman was completed in the summer of 2021. I felt the world was crying out for a bright, engaging, sassy, sexy lead female MC! Angelique Santoro was the result of me breathing creative fire into my visions. I woke up 3am, every day for 6 months without an alarm clock and created Angelique. I turned dreams and visions into a storyboard. From here I spent three weeks exploring, developing my characters. Then, I started writing chapter 1, not until. My book is not Erotica. Its is a rare crossover…

Hello author Kaylon, what is your favorite thing about being a writer?The creative freedom. Even with historical fiction—which I want to be as accurate as possible—the characters and personal events are mine to imagine and mold. If you could tell your young writing self anything, what would it be?Pay more attention in English class and the use of commas. Your future editor will thank you. How long on average does it take you to write a book?My first book took four months and the second and third each took about six months. Once the ideas took hold, the writing went…
By Lucia Matuonto Last summer, we filled up the RV, checked our tires and went on a long road trip. We visited stunning beaches in Florida and California, mountains in Colorado, big cities like Athens and Toronto as well as a few little towns in Italy. What a great adventure! On the road, we made some pit stops and gave a ride to awesome passengers who, like us, love books, tell stories and share their experiences and expertise with us. It was a really hot summer full of unprecedented heatwaves. Themes like climate change and clean energy, and what we…
