what your book is about?
Open Your Heart for Happy Relationships – 10
Shift Keys - What Your Angels Have Been Trying to Tell You for Centuries - is a beautifully illustrated gift book
with an angel theme.
I believe that angels
have inspired the ideas that work for us, down through the ages. The book contains some of those ideas that
work. I wanted to live the Prayer of St.
Francis – “…let me sow love… where there is darkness, light….” I wanted to feel
happy and have happy relationships – but I was not. As an attorney, I always feel like there is
an answer, so I asked for help. These
are the 10 practical Shift Keys that opened my heart and made a real difference
in my life and relationships.
Why did you write
your book?
It started out as
some quick ideas on various relationship topics that I wanted to give away on
my website. Then I started to enjoy
designing around the angel theme and had the angel portraits painted. Once the angel portraits were done - it just
developed from there!
What kind of
message is your book trying to tell your readers?
Love is the answer,
but don’t mix it up with being an unselfish martyr - and -
There are simple
tools that miraculously fix some of the automatic things we do (learned in
childhood) that keep us unhappy and our relationships unfulfilling!
Who influenced you
to write your book?
So many books have
helped and inspired me. Primarily I
published the book because I always like
to share when I have learned something that works – I hoped someone would find
it helpful and that it would make someone’s life a bit happier.
Is it hard to
publish a nonfiction book?
Not today – you can
publish anything yourself, whether it has any merit or not, (sounds of
laughter!).
Which author(s) do
you admire?
I love Mary Jo
Putney for fiction and David Hawkins and Ryan Holiday for non-fiction content. I am practical, so I look at content more
than writing style or beauty in non-ficiton.
Have you suffered from writer’s block and what do you do to get back on
track?
Not really – I don’t usually write unless I really have some ideas
jumping up and down to get on the page.
What would you do with an extra hour today if you could do anything you
wanted?
Add it to some other hours I am saving and go on vacation to Europe!
Which holiday is your favorite and why?
Christmas – I love the lights, music and beauty and my heart wants to
believe in “Peace, good will to all men”.
If we were to meet for lunch to talk books, where would we go?
Let’s meet for tea at the Dorchester or Claridges in London – you pick.
What do you like to do for fun?
I love to read history and historic romance fiction, walk in nature, and
travel.
Can you tell us about your family?
I have one beautiful daughter, who is an inspiration and lots of fun, at
the same time.
What do you like the most about being an author?
I am a semi retired writer. Not
being at my hospital director job at 8am every day is
lovely!
What kind of advice would you give other
non-fiction authors?
Never, never, never
give up. Winston Churchill
Thanks so much for the interview! Eve Picquette
