Today, The Spotlight is on Shon Hyneman, Author, Radio host and Mentor
Welcome Shon to the Spotlight.
Tell us a little about yourself. I am a Husband of ten years, Father, Mentor and Owner of Never Again
Ministries which promote Marriage Enhancement and Holistic Relationships. My
Wife and I host the Doctor of Love Show on Three different stations.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp? In my latest
book WISDOM:
Preventing Problems before
They Happen the overall message is to help people cut back on making bad
decisions. Don’t get me wrong, we all make mistakes but if there is someone who
can mentor us from making bad decisions, apply the wisdom that others give to
you.
What is the most challenging part of being an indie
author? What is the most rewarding part of being an indie author? The most challenging
part of being an indie author is getting others to see the vision that is
birthed within you. When you don’t have others backing you or you don’t have
the big name to match, it takes more time for others to buy into what you are
writing.
What made you decide to become an author? I like to talk a lot! I figured if I can put all my thoughts and ideas on paper it will become more valuable to those who read my books.
When did you begin writing with the intention of
becoming published? I started
writing my first book If You Apply These
Principles in 2008. Then I went on to get published by the company Lulu.
Please tell us the titles of your current book (s):
And give a brief synopsis
-If You Apply These Principles: God Is More
Practical Than We Think (2008) I used a lot of Bible Scripture from the book of Proverbs on the
practicality of God and how God require work to be done on our behalf to be
successful.
-It’s The Woman You Gave Me (2009) how we can get past blaming others for past hurts
and disappointments from parents, friends, spouses, and situations. Notice how
the blame game started with Adam and Eve in the garden. Since the beginning of
time it’s been an issue even until today
-3 Are Even Better (2010) eight week workbook for married couples and benefits
of God being the head of your marriage. The title came from the book of
Ecclesiates 4:12 we discuss topics from money, sex, how to affair proof your
marriage to blended families
-WISDOM: Preventing Problems before they happen
(2012) Refer back to question
number one for synopsis
What one positive piece of advice would you give to
other authors? Don’t quit
when things get tough and get connected to others who have the same goals as
you. Networking with other authors is a powerful tool. Also support other
authors and understand it’s not always about you and your work.
Tell us about your journey to publication for me it was tough because I didn’t know any other
published authors when I wrote my first book. I just did the best I could and
let the cards fall. But as time went on publishing became easier.
What next for you we are hosting our first “3 are even better” Marriage Retreat in Payson,
Arizona this fall and the release of my new book WISDOM: Preventing problems
before they happen

Good article Paulette. I can appreciate Shon's title to his book. If a persopn is discipled and develop discipline they can avoid a lot of problems.
Thanks for the visit
