Featured Interview With Anthony Brown
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a retired teacher from a community college and was born and raised in a small town located alongside the Ohio river in Jefferson County called Steubenville until I was 18 years of age. Then I moved to California throughout my entire adulthood. I am currently residing in Mansfield, Ohio.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I didn’t know that I really liked reading until a later age in life (37). However, I always had a fascination with writing. I can remember that in my early 20’s I would carry around a notebook and pen and capture the moments of life as they happened. I guess there was a young writer always in me somewhere that was waiting to blossom.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors are Sue Grafton, Stephen King, and Danielle Steele. My favorite genres to read are action, both fiction and non-fiction. Who inspires me to write? People doing everyday things fascinate me. I find that people being people motivates and inspires me to be creative.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is “From Park Bench to Park Avenue” and it is my autobiography. It describes in detail what it was like being raised in a single parent household, witnessing violent behaviors, and learning to navigate life with little to non-coping strategies. A change happened once I had a 1:1 meeting with God and my life took on a dramatic transformation that rocked me into an existence that was never known to a person like me before. In the end, I found myself led to develop a program to help other homeless people find their way home.
