Why should you really read my books?A Story by Julius J.E. ThompsonHere is why I write?Sometimes, I put myself in the psyche of a reader who scrolls
over the book list on the Amazon website or stroll down the Barnes & Nobles’
bookstore isle. What makes the reader click and purchase your book on a website
or pull a copy down of your novel from the bookshelf? I ask
myself, “Why should you really read my books?” I want to develop a great
yarn in my novels. My books are filled with hopes,
dreams, challenges and fears that make us human. That is my philosophy in crafting
novels. I
knew when growing up I would be a writer. From an early age in Winder, I was a dreamer,
walking down the dusty red clay dirt roads of the Bush Chapel section, of this
small Northeast Georgia town, while watching the cars motor on the Hog Mountain
Road. One day, when I moved to New York City travelling
on one of those trains called the Silver Comet, I would see the world outside
of this small southern town. It’s been a journey that I’ve told in newspaper
articles and now as a published author. Here are
reasons why you should really read my books. 1.
Writing
from the heart and Personal Growth! There are so many rewarding challenges
in writing a book. By expanding your philosophy and sharing it with others,
you’ll find inevitable growth. You will learn so much more about yourself and
others you will want to write another book while you are completing
the first one! We write not just to
change the world, but to create a new world. This is a perspective I share in
my body of written works. I develop new ways of seeing the world and how our
experiences shapes us mentally. Some people run and exercise, some people play
sports, but I write to create healthy mental moments for myself and my reader. 2. Books to help people reach their writing goals! Do you know what it’s like to go out
and sign books? I do. It’s an exhilarating experience that only a few people
understand. Once your book is published, the door of opportunity will fly
open. You will meet people you never thought you would. Further,
people will want to work with you and learn your story. Books form a unique
perspective of experience and knowledge to help others avoid the errors and the
mistakes you failed to overcome in reaching your goals. For
example, Jumpstarting Your Inner Novelist is a self -help book based on
nine years of teaching Creative Writing at Atlanta’s Evening at Emory
University Writers’ Studio, writing five books and going through the treacherous
publishing process. People
should read, learn and use the knowledge I present in my non-fiction books and
how the characters overcame problems in my fiction books to learn and grow as writers
and readers with a broader understanding of the world. 3.
My
Books of fiction based in real places, especially the Julius J.E. Thompson Trilogy! It is a good feeling knowing people are
buying my books. Not only that, but those sales can lead to bigger
opportunities. I write to entertain and tell a good tale in my novels. There is nothing to lose and everything
to gain in writing a book. Personally, it has been one of my greatest and most
rewarding achievements in life. I create characters that build
relationships, face challenges, overcome fears and live their lives in my
novels. I want to create teachable moments, but in entertainment form that capture
and keep the readers’ attention. This is the best way to share an idea or
story that matters. And if it matters to you, maybe it’ll matter to others. Because the book you actually write is better than the one floating in
the dream world of your mind. In conclusion, you should read my books
to see characters living their hopes, facing challenges, overcoming fears and
working hard to reach their dreams.
