What is your favorite quote or excerpt in the book? My favourite excerpt is the one where Syeira realises she loves Wil, because at the same time as her heart knows itself, she also knows they can’t be together. With great courage, and no hope, she tells him this in the kirkyard, in the middle of a storm. It’s also the moment Wil realises Syeira loves him – and he finds this confusing: “I regret anything I have done to pain you, Syeira, but I do not understand.” “I know.” Her low voice was audible only because the driving rain…

Hello Beatrice, you wrote about your tough transitional phase that led you to write your book; can you tell us more about that? During the birth of Mindless Behaviors, I was in a rough place. I was working 90 hours a week, running a business, with aging parents needing more assistance, demanding friendships, and my imitate relationships went down the toilet. I realized that I wasn’t living the life that I wanted but something that I was working against. My back was against the wall, and I didn’t know where to go but within. I needed to know what happened…
This is a book of short stories of everyday human emotional experiences. Stories of profound loss. Stories of great friendships. Stories of growing old with a dog, of going to war, and of course, stories of deep romantic love. I hope the stories encourage the reader to do some introspection on what it means to be human. I believe the poems, like all art, will mean more to some than to others. Find more at: www.garysmithauthor.com Twitter; @g_smithauthor Facebook; The Willing by Gary Smith@GSmithAuthor

The pace of life is steadily increasing. The list of daily tasks that need to be completed continues to grow longer and the pressure of time slipping away makes people stressed and anxious. People’s perspectives shift away from thinking about others, creating distance between them and the rest of the world. This distance causes people to lose touch with the basic human values that everyone shares and that assist in developing meaning and connection in their lives. Integrity, kindness, compassion, and love are gifts that go dormant when people cease to use their power to cultivate and nurture them. The…
