I always try to promote other writers, who like me, want people to know about the book they're working on. I write about the paranormal world and so does my guest. His story is very interesting and truly frightening and I'm sure his book will be in demand when it is released. So with great pleasure, let me introduce you to Brandon Boston.
Thank you for stopping by and visiting with my readers. I guess, I'll start at the beginning.
Is this your first book?
Yes, this is my first book. I am currently working on a few others in different genres. One is a Romance Novel (I have a couple more outlined) another is a Motivational book, and of course my sequel to “Battling Demons of Darkness” which I have outlined but have not actually began. In other words, I have many projects I am currently working on, along with multiple movie scripts I am finishing as well.
Brandon, tell my readers a little about yourself?
I am the Most Passionate person you will ever meet! I have many paths that will lead to my Destiny, and each path I have been told my entire life, “You Won't make it!” I feel I was created to help prove to the world “Anything is Possible if you have enough Faith.” I grew up in a small town in Tennessee where becoming an Actor, Director, and Fighter seemed to be Impossible. I never really considered becoming an Author. English and writing were my worst two subjects in school. The funny thing is I can write anything! I have always been able to write, I just need help on the proper grammar and spelling. Even in elementary school I could write poetry without putting much effort into it. I can also take any emotion or word and create a story around it. Any music I listen to, I can create my own version of the lyrics, staying within the emotion of the performer. I am truly blessed, to be given so many gifts, in so many different fields. I will never take any of the credit, I always give that to God. My life's story could have easily been another negative statistic, but I refuse to settle on anything less than my Destiny. Now I realize I have many more paths that make up my entire Destiny. I do not want to be just another Actor, Writer, Director, or Fighter. I want to be the Best! I also feel led to become a Motivational Speaker, because my entire life I have always had people tell me I inspire them in many different ways. I wish to be a role model, not only to the youth, but to every person that has breath. With the way the word has become, we need a light that shines through the darkness. I know I can become that! I want to become the greatest at all that I do, so I can Influence the entire world in a positive way. The bigger I become, the more Impact I can have. I want people to look at me, look at where I came from, look at my story, my struggles, and follow me the entire way as I Achieve my Destiny! Because I will be a living example, that no matter what the world says, you can do anything you set your mind to, if you just believe! Nothing is Impossible to those who believe!

Tell us a little bit of the background for the book?
“Battling Demons of Darkness” is not just a story, it is my own personal journey into the world of the unknown. Every single word in the book is true. (expect certain names and identities, for privacy purposes) Honestly, if I did not experience it first hand, I might not believe it myself. But no matter how skeptical you are, you can't deny the truth when it is before you. You can say something does not exist, up until it is directly in front of your face, so close to you, that you can feel its breath. I never chose the paranormal, the paranormal chose me. My first memory Ever, was an Exorcism in Church. That could have been an isolated incident, but it wasn't. That was my first encounter with the Demonic, that would literally follow me the rest of my life. At 27 I have had hundreds of real encounters with this worlds most Sadistic Evil! My grandparents raised me, I never met my father and for most of my life my mother was never home due to her drug addiction. I was in fourth grade when the last words I ever said to my grandfather was “I hate you, I wish you were dead!” I went to sleep, not realizing at the time, just a few hours later I would watch my Grandfather pass away right before me eyes. That left me and my grandmother devastated, and not long after that, a very powerful Demonic spirit came into our home and haunted us for years! It got as bad as it could get, the demon even attempted to kill my grandmother. Due to certain events, the Demon would be driven from our home, but not from our minds. We were both terrified to speak of it, in fear that it would come back. Not until I was about 21-22 did I finally get over my fear of this demon. I realized that part of my calling is to help deliver people from demonic spirits that haunt them. I would run into the darkness, that in the past I refused to even think about it. It has 3 demonic cases I worked on, with exact notes coming from the journal I kept during the events. “Battling Demons of Darkness” is not teaching you how to become a Ghost Hunter, that serves no purpose for me. It is to remove the veil that separates our world, from the spiritual realm. I feel “Battling Demons of Darkness” can be the Greatest Haunting story ever told. This is not just a scary story, it is packed with real emotional events, that we all as humans go through everyday. When you open my book, you will experience Death, Attempted Suicide, and Depression, which is something that has consumed this world. Most importantly, you will see a child that is seemingly defeated and destined to be destroyed by the Devil, answer his calling and transform into the fearless man he was created to be. No matter your beliefs, or views on the paranormal, you will question everything you thought about the world of the unknown. In this world we have to many people that are tormented by demons and have nowhere to turn. My purpose behind this particular book, is to help give hope to the one that is hopeless, help strengthen the weak, help guide the defeated into victory.

What other works have you done?
This is my first book, but I have worked in the film Industry on a few projects. My first TV show was “Paranormal Challenge” on the Travel Channel. It was a tremendous experience, and what people do not realize I took a major step in my life by doing that show. I have always loved Fitness, and worked at multiple Fitness Centers for a total of about 7 years. I knew the Dreams I had deep down to become an Actor, and Fighter would never become a reality, as long as I stayed in my comfort zone. So I ended up quitting my job before the show, even though I knew this was just a one time deal on the travel channel. My whole point of doing it was to meet someone in the film industry that could help introduce me to the right people to give me my opportunity. Not only did I have a blast on the show working with a lot of great people. I got to meet Zak Bagans, and a few other famous names in the paranormal field. I also struck up a great friendship with Lisa Wheelous, who is a big up and comer in the film Industry. I have been blessed enough to help her with scouting multiple locations for Major TV shows, and Major Films. Which allows me to meet people, that I feel will lead to my discovery as a Major Talent. I have also appeared on the Biography Channels “My Ghost Story”, and have done extra work on the USA network, and this past summer was able to work on a Major Film in Chattanooga.

Will there be a sequel?
In my first book you will encounter most of my most difficult battles with the demonic. I say most, because it was not until November of 2012 where I faced my most difficult task, my first Exorcism on a person. This book was already completed, and in the final stages of working out all the little details. I was not really where I needed to be in my life, I seemed to be just coasting in my everyday life. I needed a wake up call, and lets just say I got one. I have studied many cases of Demonic Possession and Oppression, that was the whole reason why I entered into the field of the paranormal. I knew the day would come when I was not facing a demon possessing someones home or property, it would be possessing them. No matter who you are, or what you think you know, you can never really be prepared for a True Exorcism. There are different stages of Exorcism, and different strengthens of demons. I can say my first Exorcism was against something very strong. Hollywood does not do it justice in the Movies. The only way to understand what I am talking about, is to see it with your own eyes. But in my Sequel to “Battling Demons of Darkness” I will be sure to bring you as close to the event as I can. I can promise, that will be a True story that you will not want to miss. Because nothing is more terrifying than the truth!

What advice can you give to new writers starting out in this extremely competitive field?
I would say, believe in yourself! Throughout your lifetime you will have many people try and discourage you and hold you back from becoming who you want to be. To succeed at everything in life, you must first believe in you before anyone else will. You can accomplish anything you can Imagine, if you only believe it. But as a writer, do not get discouraged no matter what others say. If your work is something you truly believe in, it might not be easy, but you can do it, you must do it! That has to be your thinking, succeed at all cost.
Is there anything else that you would like my readers to know about your writing?
If I could say one last thing, I guess I would ask for everyone's help. I know I am destined for great things in this world, it is time we begin to see good things making headlines on the news instead of all the hate, death, and negativity that covers almost every station. I know I can help Motivate, Inspire, and changes millions of lives. Not just by this book, but with all of my dreams combined. Everyone needs a start though, and although I have been apart of some Amazing events, this is my first chance to reach the world. I hope that all who see this will go out and get a copy of “Battling Demons of Darkness” and that you will pass this message along to your friends. I want to make “Battling Demons of Darkness” the Greatest Paranormal book of All time! And with your help, I know that Dream will become a Reality. God Bless
