Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the idea and inspiration to write 999 Ways 2 Say No 2 a “No-Good Man”?

Mercedes Terzol: After a very difficult experience with someone I thought was my soul mate, I was inspired to reteach important and basic concepts of arithmetic: subtraction and addition. My message to women is simple. Subtract the negative so that you can add the positive.

JP: What sets 999 Ways 2 Say No 2 a “No-Good Man” apart from other novels in its genre?

MT: It’s raw. It’s emotionally provocative. Everything that takes place in real life is expressed in 999 Ways. I’ve also managed to analyze and shed light to ongoing of self-esteem and relationship issues that women go through.

JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that lead to 999 Ways 2 Say No 2 a “No-Good Man” getting out to the public?

MT: Dedication and faith. For the past 3 years I have been advertising and spearheading my own campaign. I have no help or professional guidance. My book is self-help, and I rely on and have faith in my own ability to get ahead.

JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take for you to start and finish 999 Ways 2 Say No 2 a “No-Good Man”?

MT: My writing process is very unique because it’s not traditional. I start from the back and move forward. With this book, I finished the last chapter before I began the first. I also concentrate on the details before I come up with the general or overall concept.

JP: What’s next for Mercedes Terzol?

MT: Possibly law school or more writing. My future is definitely an open book!
