Q&A with a Life Genius/Self Help Author Alexis Monroe

Welcome to our blog - Trail of Fewer Tears - which is a homage to Alexis Monroe’s new book also titled Trail of Fewer Tears! For our first entry, I have sat down with the life genius herself to discuss her career, new book and the advice she has for our new readers. 
Unedited interview straight from the transcription!
Good morning Alexis. So where did you find the inspiration for this new book?
I found it where I find all of my inspiration - which is within myself. You see Amber, you must learn to like yourself or else everyone will hate you. I remember when I was your age two and a half years ago. No one liked me. It’s because I didn’t give myself enough credit. And because I was overweight. 
What other books do you recommend to your readers?
Anything by Ayn Rand. And also my previous books called Purging Food Hoarding LoveCrying Doesn’t Solve World Hunger and the New York Times Bestseller Life Isn’t Hard
What about your brother? 
What does my brother have to do with any of this?
He must really take your advice a lot?
Oh sure. We’re very close.
He calls you a self righteous bitch all the time. 
I don’t think we should put that in the interview. It’s not very positive. In fact, I don’t think we should be discussing my brother at all. We aren’t very close. 
Okay then. What’s the main message you’d like to send to your young readers?
To read my books. I mean really really read them. Absorb the words. live by them. My books are the new bible. 
How is your brother doing?
Look I understand that you and my brother broke up recently and that you have/had very strong feelings for him. But we should focus on me right now. 
Is he seeing anyone? Has he said anything about me?!
I don’t feel comfortable with this conversation. I know this has been very difficult for you. But you need to understand that reading my literature will change your life. 
Okay okay. I’m sorry.  Uhh…Does the book have a release date yet?
December 5th. It’ll be a perfect holiday gift!
Will you explain how you got into the self help business?
Sure. I was once a very unliked person. I was constantly seeking approval, respect and friendship from others. Then I realized that life isn’t about the relationships we have and keep. It’s all about self growth. You have to really push yourself up to the top to achieve anything. When I learned this very valuable lesson I decided to spread my message. I’d say more, but it would only take away from my books!
Can I have his new phone number?
No. He changed that for a reason, Amber. Read my books!
Where is he living? Is he staying with you?! Can I come over? …Where are you going?!
Well I guess that’s all the time she had for today’s interview. Remember to check our blog for updates everyday!
