Connect - How To Know If He's Really Your Man

by Dawn Burnett

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Self-Help (non-fiction)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

INTERVIEW:

1.    What or who inspired you to start writing? I was inspired to write Connect, How To Know If He’s Really Your Man after experiencing the dysfunction in the dating world and listening to numerous strangers off load on me their dating disconnects as if I was a columnist for a popular dating newspaper.

2.    What elements are necessary components for this genre. Anyone who is in the dating scene will be able to connect with the material in this humorous self-help dating manual.

3.    How did you come up with your idea for your novel? I came up with the idea for Connect after spending time in Beverly Hills, CA when a complete stranger offloaded on me and asked me my opinion of her dating a married man.

4.    What expertise did you bring to your writing? After experiencing my share of the 85 “breakings of the bread” yes meet ups with the male species backed with my honors degree in natural medicine in mind/body connection I realized there was a severe disconnect between what men said they wanted and what they expressed with their body language.

5.    What would you want your readers to know about you that might not be in your bio? I believe when the timing is right the right person for each of us will appear. I am very spiritual and seeking the true meaning in life, that’s having love for self is far more important than what presents itself outside of us.

6.    As far as your writing goes, what are your future plans? I plan to continue the series of Connect, next in the area of friendship.

7.    If you could be one of the characters from this book, who would it be and why? I am one of the characters in the book, the one who met the potential alcoholic, and the story of the guy who drove away with too much alcohol in him is oh so real as my son and I were plowed into the ground nearly 8 years ago by a hit and run drunk driver.

8.    Can you give us a sneak peak into this book? Connect, shares my no-nonsense take on matters such as: the pitfalls of dating in the digital age, the many ways we unintentionally sabotage our relationships, why we find ourselves choosing mates from the never-ending “carousel of losers”, how we judge ourselves-and others-without mercy, and most importantly, how to empower ourselves to make the choice to change.

10. When did you first decide to submit your work? Please tell us what or who encouraged you to take this big step? I knew that I wanted to publish my work and I was searching for the best publisher. I had prayed that day and as I turned on my pre-recorded series of Super Soul Sunday there it was, an interview with Jack Canfield and Oprah 12/13/2015 where Jack Canfield spoke about landing his “Chicken Soup For The Soul” series with HCI. Less than 1 month later my literary agent presented the manuscript to HCI and within 5 months we received a publishing contract.

12. Do you outline your books or just start writing? I don’t outline my books, I just start writing and it’s like channeling, the information flows into me and out onto the paper.

13. How do you maintain your creativity? I maintain my creativity by keeping the space in my mind positive, through prayer and meditation.

BLURB:

Wellness strategist Dawn Burnett has an impressive track record for helping people unlock better health and greater vitality. Like all of us, however, she has had a life filled with highs and lows. The child of divorced parents and a survivor of abuse, she was in a toxic marriage and then, just after her divorce, was hit by a drunk driver. These events, and the discovery that her son had a life-threatening condition, led her to a wake-up call. Studying to become an alternative medical practitioner to heal her child, she also sought answers on how to heal her own life. Along the way, she charted a course to ultimate wellness on a path filled with valuable lessons, deep wisdom, and insight on a variety of issues—including personal relationships. She recognized that becoming trapped by the toxic emotions of our past can weigh down our spirit and sabotage any chance we have at happiness today or in the future.

The result is Connect, a light but powerful little book that provides humorous yet effective ways to address key issues facing serious relationships. Filled with personal, engaging stories, complemented by captivating illustrations, it reveals: the pitfalls of dating in the digital age; the many ways we unintentionally sabotage our relationships; why we find ourselves choosing mates from the never-ending 'carousel of losers'; and how we judge ourselves—and others—without mercy. The antidote is a simple, empowering plan readers can implement themselves to heal their own hearts, pinpoint their true dreams and desires, and find meaningful and lasting bonds with their partners — whether they have already met or are still looking. This amazing little book is big on success, and will help readers finally attain what they outwardly say they want—without the emotional resistance associated with trying to change their partner.

EXCERPT:

It has been said that 50 percent of married couples in the United States divorce, and the divorce rate for subsequent marriages is even higher. Most people are surprised by the second part of that statement because they think that they’d learn from the first bad experience, that they’d found a Mr. Wrong disguised as a Mr. Right. Unfortunately, most people just find a carbon copy of Mr. Wrong and find themselves in court again.

Are you one of those women dragging around the over- stuffed suitcase of bad yesterdays into tomorrow? Are you standing there, scratching your head, wondering why your luggage no longer fits in that overhead compartment?

If you are, you need to do some serious weeding out. You need to heal your past before you can move forward—or before you know it your “wheels” will start popping off .

You also need to carefully consider the men with whom you might consider dating, and find out what baggage they might be carrying. I once connected with a guy online who had been pursuing me. Many women who have a favorable online chat experience go to what they see as the next step—a face-to-face meeting. I have a policy, however, to talk on the phone with a guy before I meet him. This situation in particular drove home why I do this, thank goodness.
