Author Interview with Tanya Logan: Come Back to Jesus - and Don't Bring Your Blackberry

A Conversation with Tanya Logan, 

Author of "Come Back to Jesus - and Don't Bring Your Blackberry"

Featured Author, Tanya Logan
"Come Back to Jesus - and Don't Bring Your Blackberry"

Why did you feel you had to write Come Back to Jesus - and Don't Bring Your Blackberry?
I feel that I was led by God to get this message out that we are all too busy with worldly things and we need to cut back so we can spend time with God – who is waiting with open arms. Even if this is the only message I ever carry, I think it’s an important one.

Where do you get your ideas? 
Ideas are everywhere! My problem is not finding an idea, but how will I ever find the time to write about all the great ideas I have.

Do you ever experience writer’s block and how do you overcome it?
I don’t believe in writer’s block. As a single mom eight years ago, it was write and get paid, or don’t eat. Amazing how that can rid you of any notion of writer’s block.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers on the writing and publishing process? 
Keep going. Even if you feel you’re writing crap that day, go ahead and write it. You can fix it another day. On the publishing side, getting published is difficult and you may feel battered through the process, so you have to really want it.

How do you market your work? Have you found some avenues to be more successful than others?
I’m still learning what works. I ask people individually to recommend my work, and I find I have to ask them in person. Emailing doesn’t work. Because mine is such a small, directed niche, there are many ideas that don’t work. I built a website specifically for the book (rather than market it from my personal website, tanyalogan.com) and that seems to have boosted the sales.

If your book was made into a movie, who do you picture playing each part? 
That’s not really applicable to my bible study.
