INTERVIEW: Beau Henderson

Flurries Unlimited (FU) caught up with author and financial advisor, Beau Henderson (BH) for a one on one chat about his work, writing and upcoming projects. Here's what we discussed.

FU:  How did you get into financial advising?

BH: I was planning to be a psychologist after graduating from the University of Georgia.  My father passed away before I started graduate studies and I spent a year immersing myself in financial matters to help my mother navigate dealing with the loss, my dad's small business and the family finances.  This experience created a new passion for helping others through financial planning.
FU:  And the self-help industry? 

BH: I've always been a big believer in personal development and coaching has always been a role I've integrated into the financial advisor/client relationship.  The books and The RichLife Show on radio have been platforms to help me share the RichLife philosophy of building both a life and financial plan that are congruent with one's definition of a meaningful and fulfilling life. 
FU:  What inspired your unique philosophy on financial advising?

BH: By dealing with over 3,000 clients I learned that the lie of chasing performance on investments that is marketed to the masses is not the key to financial and life success.  Rather, certainty for success comes from two places: 1. Strategy- Building the right strategy specific to your unique goals, vulnerabilities, and personality.  2. Behavior- Exhibiting the proper investment behavior over time (Doing the things you should do and avoiding the things your shouldn't do).
FU:  What kind of responses have you received to it? Give us the good, the bad and the ugly. :-)

BH: The holistic and life planning approach resonates with the clients that I love to serve.  The RichLife brand has grown from an idea I shared with clients 8 years ago to a radio show, 5 books, coaching, training, a team of RichLife Advisors and coaches and more.  I focus on what I believe in at my core and share information that adds value to the people who connect to my mission, message, and philosophy on success with both money and life.  

FU: You've written so many books.  Which is your favorite and why?

BH: The RichLife - Ten Investments for True Wealth will always hold a special place in my heart.  It is the core foundation that the RichLife brand and message has been built on.  The pursuit of lifelong growth while living a healthy, wealthy, fulfilled life on purpose on the journey.  Plus, it was my first full-length book that took this idea I'd been sharing for awhile and made it tangible in a way that I could share and spread the idea of living your unique definition of a rich and meaningful life.

FU: So what is on the horizon?  What are your new projects? When is your next new release?

BH: Wow, so much! The Roadmap to a RichLife officially launches 8/23/2016.  Behind that I'm launching a new radio show in Atlanta, GA and will be releasing the next book 13 Steps to Retirement Success January 2017.  I'm probably most excited about writing a financial literacy course to release Spring 2017 for middle and high school students with the goal of distributing that course to one million students throughout the United States.  I believe that if young people have access to this information on basic financial literacy that they will be able to more successfully navigate many of the pitfalls most of us have faced along the way in life school.

INTERVIEW: Ann Marie Bryan

FU: There are so many different genres to choose from, what inspired you to write faith-based romance?

AMB: I believe that genre “beckoned” to me. I am a Christian and I enjoy reading romantic stories so it was a natural fit. My inspiration to write comes from God, my family, friends, readers and fellow authors. I desire to tell great stories with fascinating characters to show the awesome power of God in the lives of people and places.

FU: Can you tell us a little bit more about your company, Victorious by Design?

AMB: Victorious By Design embodies all that I enjoy doing. We deliver top quality professional writing services, comprehensive personal and professional development programs and exceptional performing arts (dance) services to meet the unique needs of individuals and organizations. We are dedicated to providing innovative and comprehensive educational products and services to inspire, foster and promote continuous development and growth in individuals and organizations.

FU: How do you manage to juggle running it with your writing?

AMB: Thanks for asking this very important question. Truthfully, there is no easy answer to this question. For sure, we make time for the things we want to do and the things we love to do.

The short answer is that I have a great, small team that helps and a very supportive family. I schedule all my activities as best as I can. This includes my writing time. At this time, I am scheduled to write one book per year and there is a timeline for that. I must have my next book ready for the first round of editing by early fall if I am to make my release day which is usually sometime in February/March.

FU: You've written so many books. Which is your favourite and why?

AMB: I love each of my books for different reasons. However, I am a bit attached to “Unforgettable, My Love Has Come Along” because it is loosely based on my own love story. My courtship and wedding were unforgettable so I knew that I had to use ‘Unforgettable’ in the title. I did not want it to appear as if I was just sitting around and waiting for my husband to turn up at my door. Hence, the rest of the title, ‘My Love Has Come Along.’

FU: They say that every character has some of the author in him/her. Which of your characters is most like you? In what way?

AMB: I am most like Annalisa in “Unforgettable, My Love Has Come Along.” As I previously indicated, this novel was based in part on my personal experiences as I embarked on the journey from singleness to my amazing wedding day. I drew on some of my experiences, encounters, feelings, insights and interactions to give this fictional story life.



FU:  So what is on the horizon? What are your new projects? When is your next new release?


AMB: I am excited about my writing journey, and I am thankful for the opportunity to share with others. I believe in working together, the exchanging of ideas and sharing of resources, so I hope that my writing adventures take me all over the world to share at conferences, seminars and workshops.

Currently, I am writing the 3rd book in my “Encounters of the Heart” series. This novel will detail the story of Chandler Peynard. It will be released in early 2017.

FU: Thank you so much for talking to us. Any parting thoughts?

AMB: Stay victorious!
FU:  Great advice!

INTERVIEW: C.A. King

The team at Flurries Unlimited (FU) was fortunate enough to grab a quick chat with author C.A. King (CAK) about her life as a writer. This is what we talked about.

FU: There are so many different genres to choose from, what inspired you to write a fantasy series?

CAK: Finding something that makes me happy. In that regard, everything and nothing inspires me. I have a bad day and close my eyes. I can travel to a world where things are just a little brighter and get lost there for a while. I want to share that with my readers. When they need to forget about the present even for a few minutes, I want them to be able to grab one of my books and smile again.

FU:  Losing those who are close to you is a serious blow. How would you say this experience influenced your writing?

CAK: I am an avid day-dreamer. Closing my eyes one day, this world evolved in my mind. I saw the characters, how they moved, how they interacted. Each one came to life. It was a world I wanted to run away to. A place I wished I could live in.

FU: What did you do with yourself during your long hiatus?


CAK: At first I cared in home for family members with cancer. After they passed, I went through depression. I still suffer to this day, but have learnt to cope with medical assistance and my writing.

FU:  You've written so many books. Which is your favourite and why?

CAK: Frost Bitten is my favourite. I love putting a different twist on things and the holiday season gave me the perfect opportunity to do that. I find it interesting how different groups decide which is their favourite book.

Fan favourite is Book Two: A Halloween's Curse (my favourite to write)

My favourite is Book Three: Frost Bitten

Beta reader's favourite is Book Four: Sleeping Sands

Book Five holds the highest surprise factor.

FU:  They say that every character has some of the author in him/her. Which of your characters is most like you? In what way?

CAK: Since I daydreamed myself into the world, none of the characters are like me.

FU:  So what is on the horizon? What are your new projects? When is your next new release?


CAK: This fall the sixth book in my series comes out. That is the final book. You can expect a spin off series, but the main plot of this series comes to an end.

I have been asked for a cookies and treats cook book, which some of my characters may help out with. I am hoping it will be ready before December.

I have two brand new series underway. The first, Tomoiya’s Story, is an alien/vampire tale. The second Mer-Alliance, is you guessed it, mermaids. Both looking at 2017 dates.

I also have a blog of interviews which will continue and I am writing a weekly column for Books & Quills Magazine.

FU: Thank you so much for chatting with us

CAK: Thank you

INTERVIEW: C.A. King

The team at Flurries Unlimited (FU) was fortunate enough to grab a quick chat with author C.A. King (CAK) about her life as a writer. This is what we talked about.

FU: There are so many different genres to choose from, what inspired you to write a fantasy series?

CAK: Finding something that makes me happy. In that regard, everything and nothing inspires me. I have a bad day and close my eyes. I can travel to a world where things are just a little brighter and get lost there for a while. I want to share that with my readers. When they need to forget about the present even for a few minutes, I want them to be able to grab one of my books and smile again.
