When I was a little boy. Many times the television shows that I watched would ignite in me the desire to write.
Tell us about your journey to publication.
After I had written Do You Wanna Be Made Whole I was sure that I was going to self publish. I was aware of the stiff competition in the publishing industry and I was interested in being in control of my story. However before I ventured into self publishing I had a friend with a publishing house in Chicago who suggested that I submit my manuscript to that company, which I did. They kept it for six months before deciding that they wouldn’t publish it. After that I regained my focus and prepared the manuscript for self publishing. It has been an exciting journey and I love it!
Are you a full-time writer? If so, describe your day?
No I’m not full time but I manage my own schedule most of the week and so I can set time aside to write.

Renee,
Thank you for introducing your readers to “Do You Wanna Be Made Whole?” by Bernard Boulton on All The Buzz today!
Glad to do it Ty, glad to do it! I love introducing readers to new authors/new books!
To those who have not yet read, Do You Wanna Be Made Whole, let me be one of the first to tell you that it is a good book. Pastor Boulton’s story about three men and their spiritual journeys, hardships and trials of life is one that I enjoyed tremendously. It was good to read and learn how men deal with their obstacles.
Yes, thank you Sheila for the heads up on this book, and thank you for stopping by and supporting this tour! I’m looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for introducing a new author..
Thank you for putting my book on your list. I know that you will enjoy it.
LOL! Mine is growing also Cilla!
Mr. Boulton’s novel has a very interesting history. To have written it with the intention of self-publishing and then give a traditional publisher a try, only to self-publish is truly a lesson in self-determination.
This book was meant to be released by Bernard. I’m glad that he took the time to do it.
Kudos!
Thanks Joey!
