Author's Interview with David Colgate McKnight.
First, before we move forward with our Author's Interview, I would like to start with an introduction.
1. Could you please introduce yourself to us?
Hi 👋 I’m Dave, the author of a future NY Times best selling book, Watch Love Run. A Dad of 2 and husband of 1 for 23 years. A Jesus freak 😍👍 since 27 years ago, inventor, designer, entrepreneur since 1987, a student of life. Born in Florida, raised in Colorado, lived in Key West then New York City after University. Currently an IT engineer in Orlando.
2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book?
This true story of my life needed to be told. I was not a writer by profession when I started the book while spending nights sitting at the bedside of my Son for 5 months in the hospital ICU. I wanted to share the pivotal moment that led me to an unshakable faith in God. The moment I learned that the war between the dark and the light is real, that the war that rages on earth as told plainly in the Bible is real.
3. What is the book all about?
The love story of my first marriage and our journey together. The story of a young man unconcerned about spiritual faith who grows to understand the error of his ways to find that God is seeking him.
4. Why did you choose this genre for your book?
It chose me
5. How much time did it take to complete this book?
The rough draft from March of 2019 till December of 2021. Then editing efforts began fall of 23 to finish in April 2024. Created, designed, and published by my direction in working with a talented book designer I found on Fiverr.
6. What makes your Book Special?
It’s a true story of a great romance that led to spiritual growth to find redemption then to end in a shocking fashion. A wonderful romantic story that pulls back the curtain on the reality of this world that we all inhabit. A reality that each of us will encounter in our own way that we must fight to overcome.
7. When is your second book coming?
Probably late 2025.
8. While writing did you get any writer's block? What is the Tip that you will give others who are facing writer's block?
To sit each morning before the day starts and use your imagination to picture the next scene in your story. Then write a paragraph or maybe two. Picturing in colorful detail all the action and or emotions of the scene. Then write and re-write again and again till it flows how you intended it to flow. And keep at it till you have a book! It worth the effort.
9. What are your other hobbies besides being a talented author?
Spending quality time with my family is my greatest hobby, then camping, hiking, boating, swimming, creating lighting objects. Working out 3-4 times a week. Eating at great diners and dives with my wonderful wife.
10. Last but not the least, How did you feel, while giving this interview?
Very good. Thank you
