Only one week left until I get to meet and greet my friends and fans in California. It has been years since I have been to this beautiful state and I look forward to going to the theme parks, restaurants, and Venice Beach. However, this trip isn't all fun and games as I will be interviewed for a premiere television show by NBC. I also will be visiting with a very dear friend of mine that is in need of unconditional support.
PLEASE COME OUT AND JOIN ME
ONLY SEVEN DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE WINNERS ARE ANNOUNCED FOR KRONOS RISING

Tell your readers a little
about yourself. Where you grew up, where you live now, where you went to school
etc. Let them get to know the personal you.
Well, I grew up in the
heart of Prague, its oldest city part. It was remarkable how I was walking
through my life. Someone could say that it was beyond all expectations in terms
of my experiences and how things eventually have resulted. I give you an
example, as a child I didn't have a good time at the school, potentially such
experience was logically a good reason for developing the depression instead I
chose to look for refuge. Also, as if that was a miracle, next to my basic
school was a church. I had never thought that I would go inside, but that
changed when I needed the refuge. So I went inside and limitless peace and
tranquillity have immersed into me so deep. I won't forget that moment; it was
really strong.
My real studying had started when I moved to London. I did not
have an idea of what was waiting for me. However, it was an invaluable experience
to learn a great diversity of the new environment. Somehow everything was more
clear to me than ever. So I decided to start my formal education. A lot has
been done. My alma mater has become the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Los
Angeles, but before this, I was studying psychology and hypnosis.
At the same time I happened to continue with my meditation practice and workshops, it is amazing to see how people are open-minded. As I wrote in my book, ultimately I can say that I achieved my dreams. All that remains is that I want to fulfill the mission that I discovered in my spiritual searching.
What inspired you to write
this book?
I always wanted to write
since I was in basic school. The book came actually spontaneously, I felt that
I have to do that. As if this book was missing in this space. I felt that this
is a logical step. In my view inspiration is in every moment, included in every
particle. There exists source for that, imagine that you're connected with such
source. The source that is actually within. Then we don't need inspiration,
because we are part of the stream of neverending inspiration.
Where did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
I wanted the expression of
the mystery. Night reminds me of when I was exercising Tai-Chi. Over me was a
clear sky with stars and a full moon on the horizon. As if I have entered the
endless moment. The tree is representing a lot, some say the connection between
earth and sky, that means to hold the balance. Some say that the tree is
representing life. My father was in love with trees, and he saw something
remarkable on them. So do I.
Who has been the biggest
influence on you personally and as a writer?
Many personalities
influenced me. For instance, my father taught me always to be curious and
always ask. I had with my father great moments when we discussed and tried to
look into the subject more in-depth. Furthermore, among my influences was also
my experience when I was writing for the local newspaper, where I had a mentor
who helped me with my writing.
What were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get
this book written?
It was my first book
in which I intended to write more also with a set structure. The problem seemed
to be was to stay in my writing. Usually, this is what hard to overcome for
those who intend to write a book. I had a break between my writing, but as
usual, I set that as my goal. With the support of my family and friends, I was
able to finish it. So I am grateful! The following books were more comfortable
to write. It was wonderful, how much I learned about writing from other
mentors. I was determined to finish this book.

MARKETING TOOLS ARE ESSENTIAL IN LAUNCHING AND PROMOTING YOUR BOOK
Design Marketing Materials
Now
that you have your launch date you must design and create your marketing tools.
I use Art Publishing Pro to design my ads after I purchase a gig on Fiverr that
provides me mock-up cover ads. I buy one
hundred different ones because from the moment I receive them I post one a day to my social media accounts
announcing the launch of my new book.
What you have done is announced the
pre-launch date but be advised that Amazon doesn’t allow you to start the
actual pre-orders until three months before publication. I pre-launch my book
on Amazon for pre-sales. I modify the ads by placing my targeting wording on them to announce the launch, the pre-sale, exclusive contests, or giveaways, and more. I
do this because I have three months of sales before the book goes live. The day
it goes live, all pre-sales count as sales on launch day, and this boosts my book to the top. That is why
it is important not to wait too long before offering your book for pre-sale.
When you have finished that, it is time to
either create or update your author profiles and biographies on your social
media accounts. Masterfully write your bio as exciting
as you can. Use this bio to brand yourself. It goes on your website, in your
book, and on your author social media websites.
Here is a list of author pages you should
create and maintain for the rest of your author days.
