Q and A for Lift You Up
James: When
did you begin to write?
Henry:
I began writing this book in 2008, after having first began writing a
novel. I was persuaded to write this book by a good friend, and
ultimately I listened to him.
James :
What made you think of publishing a book to share with others?
Henry: I
felt the public was entitled to know more about the man represented the
heartbeat of America for at least thirty years. This book starts where
all others have stopped.
James: So
far what is your worst criticism/attack, and how have you overcome it?
Henry:
Some people say that the things I wrote about, that they’ve known
already. But my response to that is instead of a third or fourth party
reporting as to what happened, I was THERE. I saw it, I lived it, and I
bring a unique perspective.
James: How
did you come up with title of your books?
Henry: I’ve
had about ten different titles for the book. A friend came up with this
one, and I think it resonates the best. In actuality, he was an
IMPOSSIBLE Act to Follow.
James: Is there anything else you would like your
readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have
not mentioned above?
Henry:
Take some time in appreciating the cover art and the photographs.
Particular attention was spent picking the right artist, the right style of the
art, as well as time-consuming effort selecting the right photos for the book.
James: Is
there any other advice which you would like to share with our readers?
Henry: The old adage comes
true, “time heals all wounds,” and writing the book after 30 years of distance
and reflection was a very good thing. It gave me an entirely new
perspective and enabled me to create the rhythm that hopefully entertains and
doesn’t lecture or preach.
Thanks for having Henry here and wishing him all the best.
Look forward to hearing from him again.
