About A Motivational & Inspirational Book: BookPleasures.com D Anthony Interview
Here’s the third and final installment of my Author’s Interview for “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential” - conducted by Norm Goldman, Publisher and Editor of BookPleasures.com.

Norm:
Do you worry about the human race?
D Anthony:
I’m deeply concerned on the behalf of those who legitimately cannot fend for themselves. I’m deeply concerned on behalf of the youth… the messages, values and life lessons they are receiving and the limited expectations, paradigms and the nature of the potentially life-long outlooks being set.
Norm:
Do you ever feel that you are preaching to the converted and that those who need most to read your book ignore it?
D Anthony:
Without a doubt… And I must admit, sometimes it gets a little frustrating… conversing with people unhappy with the direction their lives are headed, offering them a message they can use to begin to turn things around – and them not being willing to give it an honest try. It reminds me of an anecdote I came across, which I share in the book. A young man stops at a porch and queries an older gentleman in a rocking chair – “Is that your dog moaning… is something wrong with him?” The older gentleman responds, “Oh, he’s just lying on a nail… that’s all.” The young man presses further, “Well, why doesn’t he simply get off of the nail?” “It’s not hurting him that bad, I guess”, was the response.
So, when it comes to those who most need to read the book, my job is to endeavor to help them consider that life is both precious and fleeting, our yesterdays don’t have to define our ‘todays’ and there’s a much more enjoyable and fulfilling life waiting beyond the nail. My job is to endeavor to help them to realize that nail… it’s not going to be the one that moves.
Norm:
Are you working on any books/projects that you would like to share with us? (We would love to hear all about them!)
D Anthony:
Another motivational and inspirational book, with more stories and perspectives, is in the works – however, it’s likely to be a while before it sees the light of day. My inspirational website, http://www.somethingtoshare.com/ is due for a bit of a makeover, which should happen in the coming months. It is most definitely a great place for your readers to visit for a little perspective to help make it through the day, for those trying to deal with the loss of a loved one and for those who have inspirational life stories and poems they might like to share. SomethingToShare Inspirational Plaques are available with beautiful images of nature and uplifting messages at http://www.somethingtoshare.com/Plaques/Main_InspirationalPlaques.shtm. They are a great source for daily inspiration – and perfect for the home and office. And last but not least, I’ve begun writing a blog.

Norm:
Although you are not leaving us just yet, how do you want to be remembered?
D Anthony:
He strived to make the world a better place – and you know what… it is. He seemed truly happy and fulfilled… I guess he practiced what he preached after all. I’ll bet his mom and dad are really proud of him. What changes do you think he’s trying to inspire… and how do you think his writing is going over… in heaven? And finally, which one of his books should I read again… first?
Norm:
