Anthony Pathfinder

Talented, driven, and optimistic are just a few words that describe author Anthony Pathfinder. Residing in Nutley, New Jersey, Pathfinder is blazing a trail as he works to make a name for himself in the literary industry. With seven published works to date, he has really been flexing his literary muscles. Pathfinder has experience as an editor, a proofreader, a graphic designer, a book reviewer and a contributing writer for the Urban Book Source proving that he is no stranger to this industry. He released his first book in 2006 entitled Fair Game. Since the start of his journey, Pathfinder has also been known to lend a helping hand to other aspiring authors by way of offering services and advice. His aura of positivity is what attracted Luxe-Factor to him. As such, it was only fitting to hit him with our five Spotlight Questions.

Tell us about your most recent project / book.

Anthony Pathfinder:

My most recent book is entitled, “A Rainy Affair”, which was released May 27, 2013. This basically sums it up: As the strings of unsolved murders continue to grip the city, Rain Banks-Summer embarks on a life changing journey; one which will test her resilience. Possessing an incredible memory for details and unwilling to blame others, she quickly adopts the fortitude that most New Yorkers shares. Conscious of what it will take to find the missing piece in a life filled with pain and self-doubt, she's determined to make the transition from victim to one who triumphs. This chapter of her life is about having the courage to walk away from an abusive situation.

L.F.:

What do you believe makes you stand out as an author? What makes your project stand out?

A.P.:

I stand out because I dare to tackle and write about issues, such as abuse and other subject matters, that so many of my contemporary counterparts ignore. Others tend to sweep these matters under the rug so to speak, but I prefer to discuss them rather than ignore them.
