I think you should support the brother because he is a great author. I have read all of his books and love them. I guarantee the read will be worth your while.
Here is a conversation to get to know the man behind the pen.
Black Wallstreets interview with David L.
BW-Can you tell us a little about yourself?
DL.- David L. is much more than an author. He is the CEO/President of his own publishing company, long time New York Knicks and Giants fan, native of planet Brooklyn, NY, and enjoys spending his free time playing Madden football on his X-box, watching re-runs of Married with Children, and spending time with friends and family.
BW- What sparked your interest to write books?
DL-Being the owner of an incredibly wild imagination sparked my interest in writing books! Instead of sitting back complaining about how a movie could've been better, I instead would visualize how to actually create a new storyline using the previous blueprint. Many storylines that I watched growing up did not have accurate representation from an African-American perspective so I created my own storylines in my head. About a decade ago, I finally began putting my thoughts onto paper and the rest is history.
BW- What do you find most challenging about writing?
DL-The most challenging aspect of writing is the promotional aspect required to make your writing careeer successful. These days, everyone is calling themselves a writer, thus opening up the market for more "fly by night" wannabes. True promotion requires diligence and time, ultimately taking away from the time required to write a novel.
BW- What made you start a publication company?
DL-I began my publiction company out of necessity because when I first began writing my first title, I sent my manuscript to well over 100+ agents and publishing companies. After ongoing rejection letters, I decided to put it out myself. Once I became a known name in the literary industry, many of those same agents and publishing houses began reaching out to me for representation.
BW- If up and coming writers were interested in publishing with you how would they go about it?
DL- Up and coming writers should visit my website at: www.totalpackagepublications.com in order to inquire about a writing career. There they will see a step by step guide on how to forward their manuscript to one of my many reviewers.
