Q.   Who is Grant Lewis, Jr.?

A.   A true romantic. A dreamer. Just a simple African-American male who is striving to make a statement.



Q.   What inspired you to write a story about 3 women lives in today society which reflects the biblical lives of Queen Bath-sheba, Queen Jezebel and Queen Esther?

A.  I've always been fascinated with the bible and biblical motion pictures. As well, I esteem strong-willed women--past and present day. My initial quest was to explore positions and life styles of Blacks (dark-skinned people) in ancient times. Comprehending that we, Blacks or African-Americans, were once actually kings and queens and lived opulent lives, it was amazing to discover that this was indeed true.



Q.   How did you come about the title "Three Seeds Of Eve?"

Q.    Did you do research to write "Three Seeds Of Eve?"

A.  Yes, I read the bible 3 times and researched African-Americans, in particular numerous women, in the bible at a local library for over a year. I also did some research online.

Q.    Are you currently working on another novel?

A.  Yes, I'm half way through my fourth novel, "Danielle", the sequel to "Leila." Moreover, I'm wholly reediting my first novel, "My Friends," not published yet.



Q.    What type of atmosphere do you require to write?

A.  An ambiance of soft music, particulary Luther Vandross, or some other love balad. In addition, I write in scenic areas, mostly in different cities and countries, varying from Paris, London, Frankfurt, Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, San Francisco--all over the place.



Q.    What message would you like readers to receive from reading "Three Seeds Of Eve?"

A.  That God Almighty, I AM THAT I AM, is absolutely wonderful! He is good, kind and merciful. And last, the past always repeats itself. Always put God first. Always be grateful for the good times and the bad times. Always be thankful for what you have. In all things acknowledge Him.
