Interview w/ Marvin Wilson Author Beware of the Devil's Hug

Published: Sept. 23, 2011, 1 a.m.

Marvin D. Wilson has many rich life experiences, from Hippie Rock, Roll musician, to nightclub entertainer, to Zen student, and then ordained Buddhist minister.  He was a carpenter, a small business owner, a network marketer, a sales trainer, a skilled trade’s instructor and adult education teacher, a public speaker and motivational coach, and now in his chosen “golden years” career, a writer and multi-published author with the self-proclaimed, “audacity to write novels.” He is also a professional editor, on staff with All Things That Matter Press and taking freelance projects as well. Wilsondescribes his spiritual path as one who is a non-religious, dogma-free, maverick spiritualist Christian, with a strong bent toward Zen, Taoism, and the Law of Attraction, and who believes in the Oneness of all creation and all paths leading to re-awakening to the One. He is the proud father of three grown children and seven (and counting) grandchildren, and enjoys organic gardening as well as listening to, writing, performing and recording music—when not writing, travelling, and marketing his books. Marvin writes primarily in the spiritual/inspirational genre, but likes to pen “cross-over” novels that appeal to a wide audience. His books are uplifting, sometimes weighty, oftentimes humorous, abidingly thought provoking, meant to instil and create passion and emotion, more than occasionally provocative to the point of controversial, and always “tell it like it is”, real world, no punches pulled writing. He likes to deliver spiritual messages in a non-preachy, often irreverent, sometimes sexy and ribald way, through the medium of an entertaining story.
