  Speaker 4: thing they want to do in life, you know what
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, And presually being Austin wasn't my thing that
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I want to do at first, But like I say,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: coming down, never been reading in the world and stuff
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: like that, and I came down and read my first book,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: and then I said the book to the night I
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: got in through the reading, so I came across the
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: book with a guy moved off to across rating. He's, uh,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: we know today, you know, and uh, you know. So
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I read a day and I'm looking at this story
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, man, we're late. We see them there
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: in the industrys ucross rating, you know, doing the same
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: things and stuff of that nature. And in my mind,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I tell you if he could do it. So my
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: mind wasn't known like being the best author of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: job said that. My mind was on, Hey, I get
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: this money, up raised me a lot to get out
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: the penitention, you know what I'm saying, because I feel
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: like that didn't take a change. So that was my
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: main objective, and into when I got into another thing
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: that you know, the way people reacted to my work
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: and maybe you're like, you know that. I mean, took
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: a bit more buses saying it no one move went
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: to another one more went to another indent. Is I
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: got any anything that I can read?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So my understand is that you also have created or
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in the process of creating your own publishing company.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Can you tell me a little bit about that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Well, just of course I like said about that, uh
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: firs of my post governor woman that I'm working on
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: standout for and the behind it is holding mine and
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: the reason I got there is like no to hold
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: hold to one, how is to keep them? So I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: want to with the knowledge, uh story, the storyline, you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the character and things makes because you know, over time
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: it's been a stigma and a stereous type of fact,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And I want to break
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the type of a couple of coaching company and not
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: frank diversity between the face, but frank diversity being the
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: genre I'm saying because I want to be like the
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: first author that came. So I'm saying it can in
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: the same household we got Chris. You've got people different ages,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: different genres that they want to you know, read different genres.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: They can reheard nonfiction, children book, Patsies right on it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: So I'm not I'm not playing for myself in the box,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So I'm pretty much like
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: being diverse always run up the glove. So I want
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: to pick up people along the way that can be
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the same way too.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Now that is interesting. I know a lot of authors
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: are starting to reach outside of the box. And the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: reason why they're doing that because they want to not
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: be placed that they are an urban book author or
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: they're a poetry author. They will start out in their
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: genre and then start to brainsch off. So I see
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of authors doing that. How how do you
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: get your ideas? Where did they come from? Is it
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: from things that you have done in your past or
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: other situations have seen?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: How do you get ideas for your stories?
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, both of my ideas a couple of experiences. You know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: thinks that nature, things that have seen keep out being around. Uh,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: maybe TV shows, movies they sparked idea. It might be somebody,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: particularly in the neighborhood that I grew up with. Maybe
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: an old lady. You know, everybody got a Miss Spurrell
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: in the neighborhood. Everybody can and got candy. You know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: you could just the characteristic life what people can relate on.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Now, that's good. A lot of authors do that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: They use their they use what they see and what
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: they've been through and then evolve it to catch that audience.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So I know, you say you don't want to be
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: placed in the box of a certain genre.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: But if you had to choose one genre.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: If they were to place you in a box, because
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: you know, as in library's bookstore and all of these
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: other entities, they do put it in categories.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: What category would you want to be placed in? And why.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: You're going to be true? But the main one that
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: you know, uh, I change is transition as man. It
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: probably be.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Help okay, self help okay? And why self help.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Because so you know, learning over the year of seeing
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: different people over to given things. Uh, dealing with mental
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: health relationships, you know, the division of the black home, Uh,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: the divisions of the community, things that nature. I have
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: a lot to say, dealing with sociology. You know what
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, kind kinds of things in the mind that
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: what makes people think is what mad people do that?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, And uh, I had one
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: of them. I'm in the props of marine kind of
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: independent in it more than the value or to buying nations.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: You know. So it's like a self help like trying
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: to bring infected the black community in the black home.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: You know, no, pretty much mass like how I was
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: when we was coming up. We see you know, two
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: parent homes. You know what I'm saying, because so many
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: cheers about that. They don't have to not fortunate enough
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: to have the father and the mother in the same house.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: So they did it with certain characters, and he didn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: win that environment. So I want to kind of change
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: that up. Give people understanding. Why do you think that?
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I can see that. I can see that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: So I know our time is limited. So let's talk
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit because I know I'm gonna tell y'all
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: we got an exclusive.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: So on November second, I wouldn't say that's today.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have U so Norther come back and he's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: gonna tell us about his new novel, Flowers of E.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So can you give us a little bit of what
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Flowers of E is about?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Overall? But it is a fly to a little story,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: you know, it's it's diffice like everybody's looking for love,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: you know, everybody want to be loved and like everybody
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: want to and he's dealing with two characters are going south.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: I think they got a personal thing that happened in
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: their life that changed the whole life. Like one head.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I guess I better hand a mission you know a
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: thing relationship that you So I don't want to spoke
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: to the to the readers that each canter around the
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: same thing not even knowing each other before they meet
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: each other anybody, that they'll never find love again. So
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: that's no one can place to let the other one
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: the working place to love or the other. So they've
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: come to a more where they see that you know
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: other still there.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: So on my show we do things like visual aids.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I would ask the author if you can
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: choose a certain person from a certain uh walk of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: life to be a certain character in their book, they
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: would tell me who it is.
• 12:52

• 12:53
  Speaker 2: You have four main characters. You have two best friends.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: One is named Kendrick one the other name is Carlos.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: And then you have the two female friends. One is

  Speaker 3: Snap, I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: l O cool J.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And I would say, because Kendrick is very smooth and
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: he's very business minded. But what would you say he

  Speaker 4: I compared him like that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I would say Chante Moore.
