My Interview with:
Black Pearls Magazine Online; http://www.blackpearlsmagazine.com/sistacorner.htm
Conversation with Toney T. Rowe
BPM: Tell me about your writing background. How does one become a successful author/novelist?
Over the years, I’d been journaling about my life and experiences of living the secret life I led for so many years. It wasn’t until I finished the book, which I had not had a title for at that time, that I reached out to my cousin, Jessica Tilles, to help me put my thoughts, my life, my experiences into a book, Trapped Inside a Female's Body. While I may not be successful as far as book sales, yet, I am successful if my story helps one person.
BPM: Who did you write Trapped Inside a Female's Body for and why now? Why was this book important to create?
I felt trapped and stifled. I felt it was time for those I love to know the truth. I didn't write this book to hurt anyone, but I wrote it more for myself...a process of healing. It was important for me to write this book to get all of my past secrets out, about the life I used to live. I was trapped inside a female's body.
BPM: How will your book, Trapped Inside a Female's Body, motivate others to live life to the fullest?
It was really hard to live a secret life, as a person of a hidden sexual identity. Once I came open with whom I really was, I felt more comfortable and true to others and myself, that I'm a gay female. Here, I would speak on how the gay lifestyle is more accepting in society now, and being true to one's self and identity will allow them to live a full and healthy life.
BPM: Ultimately, what do you want readers to gain from your book?
How hard and dangerous it was living as a hidden sexual identity. Hurting others and myself, not being truthful and honest. Just be true to yourself and you can still find love. I was really thinking about getting a sex change during these times, but as I came openly with my lifestyle, it changed all my feelings about being whom I really was. There are so many other people whom lives this life, males living as females and females living as males. Living a secret life not telling your partner the truth about your sexual identity, that relationship may end up a dangerous situation.
BPM: What is the most surprising thing you have learned from publishing your book?
Having the courage to tell my true story from growing up and finding my true sexual identity. Sharing this story to my family and friends that really did not know all that I went through. I was very surprised that I did not receive the type of backlash I thought I might have received from my family. I was also very surprised at the amount of support I received from my Mother and Father.
BPM: What would you say has been your most significant achievement with this book?
I kept this secret out for the longest time and I'm feeling more open with my family and friends knowing my real life story growing up. Aside from releasing a secret I'd been harboring for most of my life, a big achievement for me would be that my book, Trapped Inside A Female's Body, will affect someone's life. Maybe there's someone out there who is afraid to open up, still in the closet. Someone from reading my book, who needs that extra push, will realize that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or feels about them, their sexuality, or their lifestyle. As long as they are happy with who they are, that's all that's important. I'm happy and love me for who and what I am, and so do my family and friends.
BPM: What advice would you give a person who wants to tell their story?
Have the courage to tell your true story, knowing everyone may read about secrets that you have kept inside from others. Be truthful and honest with yourself. The life you have is the only life you have to live.
BPM: Name three things that it takes to make a successful person, in your opinion?
Be Honest, Be Truthful and Be Forgiving.
BPM: What can we expect from you in the future?
