Author Interview Tony Brassington by FreeBird Express Publishing
author of self-help, motivational, and inspirational fiction
Bio
Although
goal setting, drive and determination came natural to me right from childhood,
I began to become aware that as important as these qualities are, something more
was also required; so I began searching for answers.
In 2011, after many years
of dedicated study in the field of Personal Development and other related
topics, I set up Mind and Achievement Ltd to help people from all walks of life
to achieve their dreams and goals.
I believe
there are two fields of Knowledge, Laws of Success & Laws of the Universe,
and the greater understanding of these two sets of laws, the greater your
powers will be to manifest the things you want will be; if you correctly apply them.
Through my books, videos,
and seminars, I encourage people to set their minds for achievement, or to put it another way, the applied knowledge
of these laws will allow you to set your mind for achievement; there can be no
greater life skill.
In
2017, the first two titles in The Well-Travelled Book Series were published, 'The Avebury Ring' & 'The Greatest Fortune Teller In The World.' I have great
plans for this series of books, and I greatly enjoy writing them. I truly hope
that they will help many people with their journey through life, as I believe
they will.
#TONYBRASSINGTON Interview Questions by #FREEBIRDEXPRESSPUBLISHING
If
I am really honest about it, I think that I knew I would always be a writer
even right back in my early childhood, but I never seriously entertained the
idea. In the school years especially there is no shortage of people telling you
what you can’t do, telling you not to expect too much from life, and also too
many people making predictions about your future; I guess that all those people
must have been wrong then.
What
inspired the story lines and themes of your Well-Travelled Book Series?
I
set big dreams and goals for myself in my early teenage years, and after leaving
school I set about the task of achieving them. The learning curve turned out to
be enormous, but because I was not someone to try, fail, and give up, I spent a
lot of my life searching for answers to questions that everyone should know,
but clearly they don’t. Having found the answers that I was searching for; then
I was soon able to make real progress towards achieving my dreams and goals,
with nearly all of them now achieved and the final ones feel to me like they
are heading my way very soon. I wanted to share this very valuable
information I found with anyone who is trying to move forward in the direction
of their dreams and goals. The Well-Travelled Book Series allows me to share so
many insights relating to the Laws of the Universe, and The Laws of Success,
both these areas of knowledge are of vital importance not just in order to
reach your dreams and goals in life, but equally importantly to hold on to them
for the long term and be happy at the same time. So that is why each book in
The Well-Travelled Book Series will always include themes from Laws of the
Universe, and The Laws of Success,
The
story lines are all based in Wiltshire England and the surrounding counties,
and of course the beautiful city of Bath, because of the natural beauty of this
part of England, combined with the fact that there are so many truly wonderful
ancient sites scattered around this part of England. Everyone has heard of
Stonehenge for example, but believe me that is only a small part of the
richness of this part of the world. After that, the basic plot has to excite
me; without that quality how could I ever hope to write it.
What
is different about the Well-Travelled Book Series than other series out there?
The
Well-Travelled Book Series, are books to read and then share with someone else,
there is even a section in the back of each book for the last reader to write
in their name, the date and where they read the book, before they hand the book
to another person. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, the series
encourages people to give something; why is that important? because it is the
other side of the coin. Everything has its equal opposite, so achieving your
dreams and goals is one side of the coin; to take, attract, or manifest. So,
the opposite side of the coin is to give; that might be to give back to
society, give your best quality of service, the product you deliver might do
the giving, but in some way, you must give; or the balance in the big scheme of
things will not be right.
Also,
I have noticed on many occasions how people enjoy sharing books, even with a
total stranger, especially on holiday. This got me thinking about the life of a
book, where it travels and who read it. So over time the readers histories
section in these books will become very interesting in their own right.
Tell
us something no one else knows about you other than friends and family members?
I
have a small collection of classic tractors. A 1969 Fordson - Power Major,
which has been in the family for a very long time. A David Brown 1490, and a
4WD Case 1594. All of which mean a lot to me, and have a tale to tell as well,
but I will save that for when I write my biography, later on.
There
are a lot of people in the world that want to write
a book, but they can’t seem to get it written for a number of reasons. How do
you go about going from wanting to write a book to finally getting it written?
What do you do to keep yourself focused on your goals?
My
tip for writing a book is, write a book that excites you, that connects with
you, the real genuine authentic you. A book that fills your mind and keeps
popping into your mind many times each day.
How
do you keep focused on goals, that is quite easy; all you have to do is love
them. That means that your goals make you feel happy and alive whenever you
think about them, they are always welcome in your mind at any time of day; day
or night, on any day of the year.
I
see you just won a ToastMasters Award. What an amazing accomplishment. Can you
tell us about it?
I
have been a member of Toastmasters International for a little over ten years
now, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Many have said that Toastmasters
International is the best kept secret in personal development, and there truly
is a lot to be gained from joining a local club and taking an active part.
Toastmasters International is a public speaking and leadership organisation
where members can practise and hone these skills in a safe and supportive
environment. You will make many new friends and hear many amazing and memorable
speeches. I have been a very active member of Toastmasters International and
worked my way through their education system, picking up many awards along the
way. Recently I have been awarded the top award of, Distinguished Toastmaster
(DTM) this is in recognition of completing the highest levels of educational
achievement in Toastmasters International.
You
have 30 seconds to inspire someone and make a difference in their life. What do
you say?
Think
about and study this quote from Joseph Campbell, “Follow your bliss.”
There is so much to be gained from those three words when you truly understand
them.
What
are you working on now and when can we hope to see it?
White
Horses Live Forever, or it might just be called, White Horses, it depends on
the final draft. I am about half way through writing it at the moment. On the
surface it might appear that book is about coping with difficult people, but
actually it serves a greater purpose than that, this book is about not letting
difficult people throw you off track from your own plans, dreams and goals. The
story is set on a luxury coach trip, which visits a number of chalk white
horses on hillsides, and many other interesting ancient sites too. One old lady
is very difficult and causes all kinds of troubles for the business running the
tour. There is a kind of subtle tormenting humour in many parts of the book,
and plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way. From the moment that I
first began writing this story I always believed that it ends with a poem, and
I still think that is the case, but we will have to wait and see the final
draft to be sure.
White
Horses Live Forever, is the first of two books that I am planning to write and
publish in 2018. All that I am prepared to say at the moment about the second
book is, if I get the balance right, both sexes will be able to read it and
find it extremely funny, and the story will contain so many layers of
insightful knowledge; making the book an entertaining and rewarding read.
But
I will give you the name of the main character, Hendry Farmer, and we will
leave it at that for the moment.
