AUTHOR and philanthropist, Sonia Noel, is now in the process of completing her 11th and 12th books as she continues to strive to use her experiences and those of others to reach people, even women in prison. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle on Thursday, Noel said one of her new books is unlike anything she’s ever written before, and she informed that both books will be released in the second half of this year.
Since writing her first book in 2017, titled ‘Living with Intention’, Noel has published 10 books, five of which were done in just five months. “It’s proof of how powerful the mind is. The mind is trainable. I’ve seen how much we can manipulate the mind so I took advantage of it,” she expressed.
Noel said she is encouraged every time she hears how her books have positively impacted others. She recalled how she was especially touched when a woman in prison communicated to her how much one of her books changed her life.

“I am reflecting on my journey as an author and I believe the best is yet to come, God’s willing. I am holding five of my 10 publications and if I can do this, you can too, because I never thought this was possible,” Noel posted on social media lately as she was clutching copies of five of her books.
The last book she published was in last January titled, ‘365 Invaluable Life Experiences’. It is a compilation book capturing snippets of “life’s many splendored variations.” “Every life has a story! Every story is significant and the compilation of ‘365 Invaluable Life Experiences’ is a fitting tribute to our collective human narrative,” Noel said.

Persons from around the world have shared life changing episodes that impacted them and deposited memories for a lifetime. “These accounts bring people together because they remind us how similar we are, yet they identify our different ways.”
She continued: “Life changing experiences are featured from many cities of the USA and Canada. 365 Invaluable Experiences features transformational journeys for every day of the year coming to you from people across the planet. Every life has a story and I wanted people from various parts of the world to start an experience they will never forget,” she explained. The titles of her other books are ‘Women Across Borders’, ‘Fulfilling Purpose’, ‘With a Mission’, ‘Rising from the Ashes’, ‘Soaring to Greater Heights’, ‘Men Across Borders – Telling Their Stories’, ‘Beyond the Runway Compilation’, ‘7 Days Healthy Thought Challenge’, and ‘Invaluable Life Experiences

– A guided journal to your best year’.
According to her, some of the books are also courses and some of the courses will be future books. Noel is the founder, along with Claudia Vidal, of the Virtual Writers’ Retreat and Compelling Stories Subscription Club.
“We are on a mission to assist as many people to write and self-publish books. Persons who attended the first two retreats have published their books and many are in the process of writing and publishing,” she said.
Noel’s books are available at Austin’s Book Store and on Amazon. Part proceeds from every sale go to her various philanthropic works.
