Siafa B. Neal

                                          
Tell us a bit about yourself.

I am the first author and founder of the game of Advance 3-D Chess to conceive of the idea of practically playing chess from a 3-Dimensional perspective.  My unique, one-of-a-kind chess book contains Diagrams, Illustrations, Drawings and Photos displaying key information about the game board, The Longitudinal Star Gate 14 Model, which makes the game fun and easy to understand.  It is imperative that readers understand the fundamental aspects of conventional chess to allow for the easy digestion of the new information which my chess book so vividly portrays.  My chess book and e-book contain the Equations or Statements of each movement of the chess pieces relevant to the game(s).  The equations display the Greek letters and spatial relationships and relativity of the chess pieces on the game board.  The language of chess is indeed an expression of mathematical spatial relativity.  I work hard to provide to my audience the necessary tools that makes relearning the game entertaining and easy to understand.


What is one of your favorite positive sayings or quotes?

My favorite quotes are:  “In Advance 3-D chess, when you have exhausted most of the possibilities, whatever remains, however improbable, then becomes possible.”

“Through Jesus, I have found and am a founder of Advance Matrix Chess. “

“ Advance chess is a game of almost limitless possibilities and probabilities.”

Who or What inspired you to start writing this book?

My cousin, Robert H. Brown was influential in my decision to write this book.  Writing is a magnificent tool that enables me to promote my ideas of Advance Chess to help enlighten others about the new styles and art forms of playing Advance 3-D chess as opposed to the rather draconian ways of conventional chess and to offer some important moral compass for those readers who have an open mind to newer opportunities to explore and to exhaust the tapestry of psychological warfare under the philosophical guidance to exhaust the possibilities to newer, informative approaches to life in general.  My rather unique chess book allows readers to Live for Greatness, the Greatness which comes from their minds and their hearts.  It espouses the philosophy that, “You are what you think, you think, therefore you are”.  The book dares readers to explore and to rediscover their innate and yet dormant passion for excellence in their quintessential cognition quest along a journey that provides fun and entertainment in the process.  My writing began upon conceiving the concepts of Advance Matrix Chess.  There was a need to add excitement and pizzazz to the games of classical conventional chess, to raise the bar of the games to higher levels of sophistication, to test the plasticity boundary limit ranges of a human full spectrum cognitive elasticity cognition capacity, potentiality and endurance and to provide chess readers different, dynamic perspectives to their intelligence tests for Logistics and Strategic Diagnostic and Prognostic Analysis.   In order to achieve these objectives, I discovered newer ways of playing chess using Advance 3-Dimensional models (Model III is just one of these models to name a few) to enhance the potential dynamics and kinetics of the game.  Thus, writing provides a practical tool, amongst many, to reach out to the masses, who share similar interests and who are eager to explore and to exhaust newer awareness of concepts for playing chess at Advance Distributive Logistics Levels. 

What three words would you use to describe this book?

The three words to describe my book are: FANTASTIC! AWESOME!  and EXHILERATING!

Who is your target group for this book?

My audience for this book is Beginners, Intermediates, Semi-Professionals and Professionals at the game of conventional chess.

Tell us about this book
.
My book contains Diagrams, Illustrations, Drawings and Photos about the Single Set games.  The Equations are used to describe the movements of the chess pieces relative to one another.  This book, Book 1 Vol. 1, adds excitement and pizzazz to what may seem to be a boring conventional chess game.

Do you have a favorite chapter from this book?

My favorite chapter from this book is my message to my audience.

What do you hope people will gain from reading this book?

Readers who benefit from my book are:
- those who may find that the classical game of conventional chess a bit boring.
-those chess readers who are eager to learn the new, exciting concepts of Advance Matrix Chess.

Is your book in Print, ebook or both?

My book is in both Print and e-book format.

What advice would you give to other Writers?

My advice to other writers is that the publishing business has a competitive market which many authors both well-known because the readership love their style or genre of writing and unknown because the author may be new to the industry.  It is important that your work in your genre stands out from the crowd of published authors.

Tell us the link where potential readers can buy this book.


Any additional links?

Author Interview: Chris Mason

Book Title and Subtitle: Video Store in a Box: A Guide to Free Television and Movies on the Internet

Genre: Nonfiction, Film and TV

Chris Mason
                                               
     
Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Chris Mason and for the last 20 years I have been a house husband raising three kids with special needs. During this time I received my Bachelors in Psychology and a Master’s in Education. Due to the fact that all my children went to an online charter school, I had to find ways to save money and found many free resources through the internet. In fact I still think it is funny when I first asked my daughter’s teachers for resources that could help her when she first entered the world of Online schooling, I only received 3 websites. I thought 3 websites from 6 teachers was a sad state of affairs, so Tutor in a Box was born. That was years ago now. My eldest daughter was in sixth grade then, now she is a sophomore in college.

My other books were born out of two things that happened at the same time. First, my family had to give up cable to save money but my kids still wanted to see the then popular That’s so Raven. Second, my mother came up with Mason Day to teach my kids that they did not need a lot of money to give someone a nice gift. Mason Day was when a person was assigned a family member and had to make them something, spending only 20 dollars. My thought was "“Oh my God”. I had no artistic skills like my daughters’ and could not build things like my son, but I did have impressive research skills. So the “In the Box” series of books was born. All are reference guides to the best free stuff in a particular area. The series currently includes:
Tutor in a Box - A guide to free educational resources.
Book Store in a Box - A guide to free print and audio books.
