Interview with Mary Plaza

Author of The Matrix Teachings

Where are you from originally and where do you reside now?

From Choteau MT. Live in Lincoln MT.

If you currently reside somewhere besides where you were born, what’s the story that lead from there to here?

Lots of moves. Over 50. Ended up back in the mountains of Montana. Close to home. That is where I finished the book. In the mountains – remote after years of traveling.

What made you decide to write and publish your first book?

Dream for 30 years. A vision. A quest.

How would you describe your books to first time readers?

A book of answers and hope. A book of excitement and a quest for answers.

Who do you feel is most likely to connect with the topics you write about?

Any person interested in spirituality. Any person trying to make sense of the crazy changes on on our planet. Anyone who wants hope.

What unexpected or surprising thing did you learn during the process of writing and publishing?

My own growth. This material came to me over a period of 30 years. It was hard to share it. It was so sacred and private.

If you could, what advice would you give to your past self before embarking on this journey?

Keep going. You will get it done. Write every day. You don’t know who will need your message. Don’t stop writing. Never give up.

How many people would you ideally like to reach with your books?

Millions. I think the book is helpful.

What has been the biggest challenge and frustration during the process to date?

Trying to put the quantum field into terms people can understand. 3 editors. A year editing.

What’s your biggest strengths when it comes to book a) writing, b) publishing and c) marketing?

My ability to translate energy and my compassion. My extreme love for Mother Earth. My understanding of violence from working with combat veterans for decades.

What’s your biggest weakness when it comes to book a) writing, b) publishing and c) marketing?

My frustrations with trying to make it more simple. My need or want to stay private.

When do you think you will write your next book?

Working on it now.

Are you self published or did you use a hybrid publisher, or a traditional publisher?

Self published.
