J.P. Willson Once upon a time, in a land most would hope did not truly exist, a man known only as, "The Donald", ran for President.
Horrifically, he won...
J.P. Willson I don't have a set reading list, I read the things that appeal to me. With of course the exceptions being the review groups I am in although I do try and stick to the genres I prefer to read sometimes this is not the case.....
J.P. Willson Well, I am going to answer this question? Even though there really isn't any question to answer so that in and of itself must be the stupid question in "question?" No? This is, or was, the answer to your stupid question that really isn't a question, any questions? Yes I did laugh in a quizzical sort of not understanding just what in the hell was taking place kinda way....
J.P. Willson Hi Sara, well I'm not gonna say no, would you? Sure, post away, one can never get enough exposure can one. Thank you for the review also, a much different and refreshing point of view I have not had yet.

J.P. Willson I am not quite sure why you have combined romance and non-fiction into the same question, yet here's the answer anyway, maybe there is a non-fiction romance book out there? As a general rule I do not read romance novels, it's a personal thing, I just get nothing from them. On the other hand, what I read is largely non-fiction, correction-mostly non-fiction. This is also what I write, and yes I do review a fair amount of non-fiction titles that are posted to goodreads.
J.P. Willson Why yes I am, a few really. The next one to go for an editorial evaluation within two weeks will be a follow up to Through the Mind's Eye... it's called-wait for it.....How to Become A Successful (recovering) Alcoholic. Unless I change my mind and submit the other I have been working on for over a year now, it's called- A Living Hell on Earth. Also non-fiction.....I'll keep you posted.
J.P. Willson Sheriff Andy Taylor and deputy Barney Fife! Why you ask? Because it's funny.
J.P. Willson Hi Elizabeth, I just read your review and it was wonderful, so glad you enjoyed the book! I'm not sure why but I just couldn't seem to find it at first, then it was everywhere, well a few places. I think because I was still half asleep...I thank you for your kind words and certainly, feel free to post it anywhere you like, especially considering you are half way around the world, I keep forgetting that.....
Thanks again, I will keep in touch,

J.P. Willson No rush, I'm the same way. Sometimes it takes me forever to finish a book and at other times I'll read two or three at the same time. As for partying, everything in moderation, no? Being male, and having been married, I know better than to even touch the "age" question. lol, not that I have a clue anyway......
J.P. Willson Hi Elizabeth, I like the interview in the sense that we share some of the same writing ideologies- (scraps of paper all over the house, coffee and chocolate). I also wondered where in the U K you were from, cleared that up, sort of. Thanks for the mention as one of your ,"five favorite books", this means a great deal to me- yet you didn't answer the second part of the question, simply, "why". My curiosity has me, well, curious?
Thanks again, I look forward to your review....
J.P. Willson Uh.....no? Really? That's so cool. Sorry Elizabeth, you caught me by surprise there. No of course I don't mind, that would be wonderful! That is of course if you tell me the name of the magazine so I can go and buy 100 copies!!!! I am so glad you are enjoying it, it gets better (my opinion) , oh-spoiler alert, it has a happy ending!
Thank you, I cant wait to see the review.
Talk soon....
J.P. Willson Don't force it, if it was meant to be, it will come all on it's own
J.P. Willson Simply stated, I do something else.
J.P. Willson I believe for me it's the solitude. To be able to just sit and either write or pound away at the keys on the computer. Do not misunderstand I am not a recluse, it's the peace of being alone with one's inner thoughts and hopefully having something beautiful and inspirational come from it.
J.P. Willson I look, listen and engage in the world around me.
J.P. Willson I have a few things on the go right now, four actually. They range from a children's book through more creative non-fiction and additional self-help and addiction recovery related writings...stay tuned.
J.P. Willson The book itself came mostly from daily journalling while in an addictions treatment facility. It was the therapeutic value of the writing itself that was my inspiration to share this with others solely for the purpose of helping those dealing with their own issues.
