Upcoming New Indie Author

  

                  Upcoming New Author
  

     Upcoming and new Indie Author, Christopher Ty, brings a whole new spin to writing. Not only has Christopher Ty made big waves in the sea of writing from a very descriptive stand point, but his style of writing speaks for itself.
     His book For the Love of Her, http://www.christopher-ty.com/, has reached over 27 countries and is still maintaining its 5 Star rating on Amazon. One reviewer says it all when she states:

     Christopher Ty's "For the Love of Her" is an intimate portrait told from his perspective. It's very relatable, displays raw honesty and intense emotions. The book speaks volume about the content of true character, revealing that not all abused males, particularly black males, become abusers themselves. This poignant yet constant struggle of man vs. inner child desires the need for love, acceptance and self-control. I like that he exchanges a destructive mindset, for one that is constructive and productive. During the story, Christopher Ty struggles with his own self-destruction while trying to keep that ticking time bomb on the inside from detonating.
      It's epic and powerful to watch his consistent growth and hunger for change. What doesn't kills you makes you stronger, is the usual mantra which I've always found to be sorely lacking in it's context. On the other hand, either you let it kill you or you can survive the experience and reconstruct your strength while doing so. This book is a testament to that. To triumph over great adversity is the truest form of "survival of the fittest." Amazon Review.
         After catching up with Christopher Ty, I had a few questions for him and he answered in this manner.
    
         1. What inspired you to write the Story For the Love of Her?
   What inspired me was believing that I could tell my story and most of all, help others to overcome difficult experiences, they themselves may have endured.
          
          2.  Is this your first book?
     No, this is my second book. My first book is called, The Noose on the Black Community, under the name Christopher Sullivan.
      
          3. How did you come up with the title of your book?
      Well, this may seem bizarre. I've always known that I wanted to write my story. I started writing For the Love of Her, way before the book title even came. One night while sleeping, I awoke in the middle of the night and the name, For the Love of Her, would not leave my mind. So, that's how it all happened.
          
          4.  As an upcoming a popular author, what can we expect from you in the future? 
      I'm glad that you asked that question. I'm currently working on my very first fiction novel. The title is a secret but I will keep you posted. I'm excited about this novel and I'm sure many of my readers are going to find it interesting.

Amazing You!!!

      In case you didn't know, we all have this incredible ability to create the experience that is to come within our lifetime. Once this is realized, the question then becomes, are you willing to create it in order to become a better you?
     Many people go through life changing experiences simply because of something they may have desired. This is true on many levels, and when circumstances become too much for us to handle, many people are left to reap the consequences. Unfortunately, some of those consequences are more devastating than what we can handle.
     As I sat down in the barber's chair this morning to get my hair cut, my barber had a lot of things weighing heavily on his heart. He talked about his current situation and how it was weighing him down in life. I asked him if I could ask him one simple question and he said "yeah." I said, without you sharing your personal business with me, do you find that you may have brought this on yourself now that the dust is all stirred up? He answer with all honesty and said "yes." My point is this. If we engage in experiences that will cause us to tear down, what we've worked on building up within ourselves (character traits), why would we be selfish enough to engage in something that may destroy us?
     Just as the barber stated, the life experience that he engaged in was not only fortifying, but it brought him temporal satisfaction. The sad part is this...He never considered his end results and now he's having to pay emotionally. This is where the hook can be found at in life. Anything that brings about temporary pleasure (emotionally), often times will deliver having to deal with difficult consequences.
   Because of the life experience in which he CHOSE to go through, he is now left with having to deal with man made consequences. One thing about consequences is this; they are never determined by
the person committing the act.
     For example, if I start stealing, the consequence is jail. If I start committing acts of violence, then the consequence could be death. Or if I start practicing at what I wish to conquer, then my consequence will be some type of reward.
     Remember, as growing individuals that are seeking strength within ourselves, we will always have the ability to embrace wisdom and knowledge simply by thinking. Without taking into consideration our ability to "think" before acting, we will always dismiss the reality of the experience we would have allowed ourselves to engage in.
   Finally, never allow yourself to engage in meaningless experiences, especially those experiences that have the ability to arrest you emotionally. When we put our thoughts to work prior to engaging in anything that may destroy us, it is then that we construct a belief system that holds you (us) accountable to being the best that we can possibly be.
     Remember, always love yourself!!

Indie Authors: Creating Your Worth...

                                             Indie Authors: Finding Success   

      If you’ve ever wonder where to start with wanting to write your first book, just ask yourself, what topic do I desire to write on? There are many Indie Authors that have jumped onto the band wagon of self- publishing their work and many have found success while doing so.

      

     One such writer is, Christopher Ty. For years, Christopher Ty toyed around with the ideal of penning his autobiography but never put the pen to the paper. Then, after realizing that the world needed to hear his story, he started writing.

    

      After sitting down, collecting his thoughts, and outlining what it was he wanted to say, he was on his way. For the Love of Her came out in 2014 and since the inception of his work Christopher Ty has seen readers of his book from over 27 different countries.

   

    “For the Love of Her is not just simply a book,” Christopher goes on to say. For years, it was a piece of work he felt passionate about. After having gone through the struggle he was subjected to by way of the woman who raised him, his mother, he felt it was time to conquer the giant.

    

     After penning his story within a time frame of six months, Christopher decided to put his work out on the market. Within weeks, Christopher was being called to speak at book clubs, churches, and convention centers. His platform was child abuse and with that being said, he not only made big noise in the city of Augusta, Ga., concerning child abuse, but he’s even gotten the chance to help mentor youths that may have been struggling with similar issues.

   

    “Everyone has a story to tell,” Christopher goes on to say. “The only difference in my story versus your story is timing.” Not everyone wants to share stories of the past, but for Christopher Ty he was left feeling completed liberated, after bringing to life the dark places of his past.

    

      Finally, Christopher has now embarked upon another journey. He’s now in the early stages of completing his first fiction novel. The best advice he gives those desiring to write fiction or nonfiction is to write, write and write some more. Aside from that, you must also “read, read, read,” He stated. “When it’s all said and done,” he goes on to say, “We all have the potentials to pull the best of us to the forefront of our minds and succeed.”
