MY JOURNEY FROM BANKING TO INSURANCE TO WRITING

MY JOURNEY FROM BANKING TO INSURANCE TO

WRITING

I have spent a lot of time on this blog advertising my books.

Today I will tell you something about me.

It occurred to me that readers want to know why I have written multiple genres.

In case you have now started to follow my blog, I will bring you up-to-date.

I have written 5 Memoirs, 3 Children's books, 3 Romance, 7 Science Fiction, 3 Self-Help, 4 Mysteries, 1 Conspiracy Thriller, 1 Psychological thriller, 12 Poetry books, and 8 Christian Books.

I have also compiled 7 Anthologies and 6 Magazines for the How to Write for Success Literary Forum, of which I am the Founder, and for The International Chamber of Writers and Artists [CIESART], as National President for Trinidad and Tobago.

I published 60 books and I cannot give details of each one, but I will try to generalize and be brief.

My first book was a memoir of my near-death experience with cancer. I am Cancer Free was a No. 1 bestseller and won an award for Health and Fitness from Reader's Favorite International.

That success spurred me on to write another.

I wrote My Life as a Banker and that book was popular with many of my former banker friends who were interested in the changes that the bank made over the years, changes in the bank's attitude towards its employees throughout my working years, and the important roles I played to bring about changes.

The book won second place in Bio's/Memoirs in Metamorph Publishing Summer Indie Book Awards 2016.

I continued writing and penned a book titled Retirement is Fun. In that book, I wrote about my new career in Insurance where I qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table six times in a row. I also described my many travel adventures around the world. From the great reviews I received, I was inspired to continue writing and I wrote my Father's Memoirs, and my Travel Memoirs.

Since I had no more memoirs to write I tried Children's books, moved on to Romance and won more awards, and then I delved into Science Fiction.

My science fiction novel ZEEKA CHRONICLES also won an award in Reader's Favorite International.

After such great success, I wrote HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS and it was another winner. I followed up with How to Write for Success II, and Self-Publishing Tips.

My imagination began to give me ideas about Mystery novels, Conspiracy theories, and Psychological thrillers and I wrote more books.

Poetry suddenly seemed very attractive and I wrote 12 poetry books which were all bestsellers upon New Release.

Because of the chaotic state of the world, I suddenly got an urge to write Christian books and I wrote eight of them, four of which are poetic.

It has been an exciting journey for me, organizing and participating in book signings and book fairs.

I have won Literary awards in the USA, Peru, Kazakhstan, Seychelles, Nigeria, India, Romania, Argentina, Ukraine, Morocco, Philippines, Oman, Hong Kong, Portugal, Uruguay, Indonesia, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Switzerland, Italy, Sri Lanka, Austria, Russia, Germany, Syria, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Chile, Egypt, Honduras, Mexico, Pakistan, Cuba, China, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Bosnia, Trinidad and Tobago, and the UK.

I also received several awards from CIESART Spain.

In 2024 I was honoured with the PLATO AWARD by CIESART.

The values highlighted by PLATO are Wisdom, Temperance,

Courage, Justice, and more.

I am an advocate for Peace, Suicide Prevention, and Against

Domestic Violence.

In three mind-blowing episodes, the author weaved the first story, THE GIFT OF LOVE, to introduce Barry as an amateur detective. In THE AXE MURDERER, which is well written in the author's humourous style, Barry faced many obstacles to identifying the real perpetrator, as there were others who fit the profile. Readers are taken on a rollercoaster ride to capture the real culprit. The end is surprising.
