Get To Know Author Michelle Patrice Wade

What inspired you to write this book, and what message do you hope readers take away from it?

    The inspiration behind this book was ultimately my “yes” to GOD’s call to live transparently. HE asked me to share my journey so that those who have experienced abuse, brokenness, rejection, or hopelessness would know they are not alone.

    My prayer is that readers walk away with a deeper understanding of GOD’s redeeming power. No matter what they have endured or what others have spoken over their lives, their identity is not defined by their past or by the opinions of people. Their true identity is found in who GOD created them to be.

    If my story helps even one person discover hope, healing, freedom, and the courage to embrace the life GOD intended for them, then every page has fulfilled its purpose.

Can you tell us about your main character (or favorite character) and what makes them special to you?

    Although I am the central person in this autobiography, I would honestly say that GOD is the true main character.

    This book tells my journey, but every chapter ultimately points back to HIS faithfulness. I survived, healed, and experienced victory not because of my own strength, but because GOD never stopped pursuing me. Even during the seasons when I was outside of HIS will, HE never abandoned me. Looking back now, I can clearly see HIS hand leading me through every valley, drawing me into a deeper relationship with HIM and ultimately into redemption.

    That is what makes this story so special to me. It is more than the story of a woman overcoming her past—it is the story of a faithful GOD who transforms brokenness into purpose, shame into freedom, and pain into testimony.

What was the most rewarding—and the most challenging—part of writing this book?

    The most challenging and the most rewarding parts of writing this book were actually intertwined.

    The greatest challenge was revisiting some of the deepest pain of my past. Reliving those moments required me to confront emotions I didn’t even realize still needed healing. At times, the writing process became more than writing—it became part of my own healing journey. GOD used it to reveal areas that still needed HIS touch and lovingly brought restoration where I didn’t even know restoration was needed.

    That same challenge became the greatest reward.

    As I allowed GOD to heal me through the process, I became even more convinced that HE could do the same for others. Every chapter strengthened my belief that readers could experience hope, healing, and freedom as they encountered not just my story, but GOD’s redemptive power at work within it.

    I wasn’t transparent simply to write a good book. I was transparent because I believe GOD can use my testimony to transform lives. My prayer is that every reader walks away knowing that what the enemy meant for evil, GOD can truly turn for good.

If readers could remember just one thing after finishing your book, what would you want it to be?

    If readers could remember just one thing after finishing my book, I would want it to be this: You are not your past. You are not your mistakes. And you are not what happened to you.

    While GOD does not orchestrate trauma, HE is able to redeem it. HE can use even the most painful experiences to lead us toward healing, restoration, and a deeper relationship with HIM. What the enemy intended to destroy, GOD can transform into a testimony that not only changes our lives but also brings hope and healing to others.

    My prayer is that every reader closes this book with the confidence to stop living confined by their past and to begin walking in the freedom, purpose, and identity GOD has always intended for them.

What's next for you? Are you currently working on another book or exciting project that readers can look forward to?

    I’m excited about what GOD has ahead.

    The first project I’m currently working toward is a companion workbook for No Longer Satan’s Whore. My hope is that readers won’t simply read my story—they’ll have a safe place to process their own. The workbook will include opportunities for reflection, journaling, and personal application so readers can identify areas where healing is still needed and intentionally walk through that journey with GOD.

    I’m also looking forward to writing about the other side of my story. While my first book focuses on the journey through brokenness, future projects will explore redemption—my relationship with GOD, the lessons HE taught me through the healing process, and the beautiful way HE guided my husband and me to honor HIM throughout our courtship, marriage, and shared walk of faith.

    Another book that is especially close to my heart will honor the extraordinary friendship I shared with my best friend, who is now resting in heaven. I often describe our relationship as a modern-day David and Jonathan friendship, and I hope to share the love, loyalty, faith, and impact we experienced together in a way that encourages others to cherish GOD-centered relationships.

    There is so much more that GOD has placed on my heart to share, and I pray that each project continues to point people toward hope, healing, freedom, and a deeper relationship with HIM.

Get To Know Author Angela Thomas Smith

What inspired you to write this book, and what message do you hope readers take away from it?

    I was inspired to write M.I.N.D. Your Legacy because I believe too many people are living day to day without realizing that every thought, decision, habit, and story they embrace is shaping the legacy they will leave behind. Legacy is not just what people remember after we are gone; it is what we build daily through our mindset, our discipline, our healing, our relationships, and our service to others.

The message I hope readers take away is that they have the power and responsibility to become intentional about their lives. Your past does not have to define you, your old narratives do not have to limit you, and your daily choices can become the foundation for something meaningful, lasting, and impactful. This workbook is an invitation to pause, reflect, reset, and begin building a life that speaks even when you are not in the room.

Can you tell us about your main character (or favorite character) and what makes them special to you?

   Because M.I.N.D. Your Legacy is a transformational workbook, the main character is truly the reader. Each person who opens the book becomes the focus of the journey. Their thoughts, their story, their habits, their healing, and their purpose take center stage.

    That is what makes this book so special to me. It is not just something to read; it is something to experience. The reader is invited to look within, confront what has shaped them, rewrite what has limited them, and take daily action toward the life they are called to build. Watching someone discover that they are not stuck, that they can shift their mindset and create a legacy with intention, is powerful.

What was the most rewarding—and the most challenging—part of writing this book?

    The most rewarding part of writing this book was creating a tool that can help people gain clarity, heal from old narratives, and take practical steps toward purpose. I wanted this workbook to be more than motivational words. I wanted it to be interactive, reflective, and useful for real transformation.

    The most challenging part was making sure the content was both deep and practical. Legacy work can be emotional because it asks people to examine their thoughts, choices, wounds, values, and patterns. I wanted to honor that process while still giving readers clear exercises, prompts, and action steps they could apply daily. My goal was to create something that meets people where they are but also challenges them to grow.

If readers could remember just one thing after finishing your book, what would you want it to be?

    If readers remember one thing, I want it to be this: Your legacy is being built every day.

    It is built in the way you think, the way you speak to yourself, the choices you make, the habits you practice, the stories you believe, and the way you show up for others. You do not have to wait for the perfect time to become intentional. You can start now—with one thought, one choice, one story, and one day at a time. 

What's next for you? Are you currently working on another book or exciting project that readers can look forward to?

    I am continuing to build around the message of intentional living, servant leadership, prayer, and legacy. I am excited about creating more resources, workshops, and guided experiences connected to the M.I.N.D. Your Legacy framework so individuals, women’s groups, leaders, and faith-based communities can use it for growth and transformation.

I am also continuing my work in ministry, prayer, and leadership development, encouraging others to stand firmly in faith, trust God through every season, and live with purpose. Readers can look forward to more writing, more teaching, and more opportunities to connect around healing, mindset, legacy, and impact.

M.I.N.D. Your Legacy

Mastering Intentional Narratives Daily to Build a Life That Outlives You

M.I.N.D. Your Legacy is a transformational workbook designed to help individuals take ownership of their thoughts, choices, personal story, daily habits, and long-term impact. Built around the powerful M.I.N.D. framework—Mastering, Intentional, Narratives, and Daily—this guide invites readers to reflect deeply, live purposefully, and build a legacy through consistent, aligned action.

This workbook teaches that legacy is not something created only at the end of life; it is shaped every day through mindset, discipline, relationships, healing, decisions, and service. Through guided prompts, self-assessments, reflection exercises, habit resets, narrative reframes, values clarification, and a 30-day legacy challenge, readers are equipped to become more aware of what they are building and why it matters.

The journey begins with personal ownership and reflection, helping readers define what legacy means to them and identify the impact they want their life to have. It then introduces the M.I.N.D. framework as a practical tool for transformation, emphasizing that thoughts become beliefs, beliefs shape choices, and choices create legacy.

The Mastering section focuses on the inner world—thoughts, habits, emotions, and mindset. Readers are guided through self-checks, thought audits, habit evaluations, and mindset reframes to identify limiting patterns and replace them with empowering beliefs and intentional habits.

The Intentional section helps readers clarify their purpose, values, and decision-making process. Through values alignment, purposeful reflection, and the “intentional yes and no” exercise, readers learn to protect their time, energy, and attention while making choices that reflect who they are becoming.

The Narratives section explores the stories people tell themselves about their past, identity, abilities, and future. Readers are encouraged to examine inherited beliefs, heal old narratives, rewrite limiting stories, and define the message their life is meant to communicate. This section empowers readers to see their story not as a limitation, but as a source of wisdom, strength, and impact.

The Daily section brings the work into practical action. Readers create daily rhythms, identify small legacy-building actions, and complete a 30-day challenge that reinforces mindset mastery, intentional living, narrative healing, and purpose-driven habits. The workbook concludes with a legacy letter and personal commitment declaration, inviting readers to affirm the life they are choosing to build one thought, one choice, one story, and one day at a time.

M.I.N.D. Your Legacy is ideal for personal growth, coaching programs, women’s groups, leadership development, faith-based reflection, mentorship, journaling, workshops, and anyone ready to live with greater clarity, intention, and impact.

Get To Know Author Juri Hines

What inspired you to write this book, and what message do you hope readers take away from it?

    I wrote this book as a part of the Seduction In Red, White, & Blue collaboration with Robbi Renee. That's where the 4th of July theme came from, but as far as the story, this was simply the message on my heart to deliver at the time.  You're worthy of the love you desire, and that love is worth waiting for...and healing for.

Can you tell us about your main character (or favorite character) and what makes them special to you?

   The MFC Kalyani is healing, learning her worth, and finding love after heartbreak. She's special because she's so many of us women. Most of us have experienced this at different stages of our lives. We can feel the emotions on the page rather than just read them. 

What was the most rewarding—and the most challenging—part of writing this book?

  The most rewarding part was actually finishing. This was a dream I wasn't sure would come to fruition, so holding the finished product in my hand was the reward. The most challenging part was learning to sit still and write! Two years later, I still have this problem. I'm always doing something, so I have to be intentional with my time. 

If readers could remember just one thing after finishing your book, what would you want it to be?

    I want my readers ready for the next story! 

What's next for you? Are you currently working on another book or exciting project that readers can look forward to?

    There are so many projects I am working on!!  I am hosting Vibez After Dark in Columbia, SC on July 18, 2026 as a part of Love In The Carolinas. For the remainder of 2026, I will also be a participating author at Brown Sugar and Black Romance in N. Charleston, SC on September 12, 2026 and Southern Hearts & Signed Kisses on October 9-10, 2026 in Columbia, SC. I have a few more releases coming this year, and I also received my first traditional book deal with Black Odyssey Media, so look out for that release in 2027!  I am also hosting Studio Sessions with Juri Hines where I interview others in the bookish space.
