Interview with Jocelyn Soriano, author of The Good For Nothing Boy!

Hello, I’m please to bring you the next interview on the E-author blog: Jocelyn  Soriano, author of The Good For Nothing Boy! 

Enjoy!

Warmly,

Vincent Lowry 

1) What is your author name and in what state do you live (or country if not in the US)?

I’m Jocelyn Soriano.  I’m a resident of Australia but I’m currently in the Philippines.

2) What is the title of your newest book and what is the genre?

My latest work is a children’s book entitled “The Good For Nothing Boy”.

3) What is the book about?

“The Good for Nothing Boy” is a coming of age story about a boy who wanted to know his name and his true worth. Together with his firefly friend, they would venture into magical lands and meet extraordinary creatures while learning priceless wisdom along the way and bringing inspiration to all of those he meets.

4) Where did you come up with the idea?

“The Good For Nothing Boy” is a story about searching for one’s worth and one’s purpose. I remember the times I felt like the boy in the story, not knowing what I’m really good at and not knowing my mission in life. I often felt as though I’m not good enough. I guess the idea for the book came up at the time when I was searching for my own worth.

5) How long did it take you to write it?

I honestly do not remember how long it took me to write it because I have written it about two decades ago.  It was only recently that I have decided to publish it.

6) Did you learn anything from the project?

Yes, but then it would have to be a SPOILER for the book!

7) Do you have an author website and/or blog?

The website I have maintained for more than ten years is http://itakeoffthemask.com/

8) Do you have any success tips to pass on to fellow authors? How about any great editors/cover artists?

Perseverance is the key.  And you really have to go the extra mile.

9) What genres do you like to read? Are you open to reading new authors and reviewing their work?

I read a variety of genres.  Aside from children’s books, I also enjoy inspirational, Christian/Catholic, fantasy, mystery, romance and self-help books.

10) What is your favorite book of all time and why?

The Holy Bible.  Aside from that, I can say it’s “The Silmarillion” by J.R.R.Tolkien.

Bubbles and Buddy by Denver Kidd

(Click here to see the book on Amazon!)

Bubbles and Buddy is a bright and fun picture book for young children. The story is about two kitten brothers who I hope will make children smile and teach them about the relationship between siblings.

Read it today!

The Good for Nothing Boy by Jocelyn Soriano

Book Description:

There was once a boy who was said to be good for nothing. No matter how hard he tried, it seemed as though he was certainly good for nothing at all. To add to this sad plight, the bullies teased him even more for two things: first, that he had no name; and second, that he had no father. Not that he still had a mother, for she has vanished a long time ago. But at least, it can be said, that he had some memories of her.

One day, this little boy takes off in an adventure of a lifetime that would help him discover the truth about himself and the world around him. Together with his firefly friend, they would travel into magical places, meet extraordinary creatures and learn priceless lessons along the way. Will he be able to discover his name? Will he finally realize his true worth?

“The Good For Nothing Boy” is a story about searching for one’s worth and one’s purpose.  I remember the times I felt like the boy in the story, not knowing what I’m really good at and not knowing my mission in life.  Even though I have certain skills and talents, I often felt as though I’m not good enough.  In today’s world where competition is commended and where we need to stand out from the rest every day, how do we prove our worth?  Many times, we fail to see just how important one life can be.  We fail to see the impact of who we truly are in the greater scheme of things.

I hope that this book somehow helps you realize just how much you are worth. I hope it reveals to you your dignity as a person no matter your situation, and no matter the sufferings and challenges you’re going through.
