We’re gearing up to celebrate our 8th Year Anniversary here at Kurko Inspires! Through my partnership with Eric Jones at TGIM Digital Publishing, I was able to debut my first book. Since then, there has been a lot go down for us all. Inspiration being the driving force. We started from scratch on December 1, 2016, with the publication of ISSUES! Which is my life story. A lot of readers do not know that the rough draft took only a week for me to put together.
A raw cut into my life’s happenings, the issues I faced, the resentments I held and the path of which all that took me down. I knew then the power of the book. I really did not have the money for the book cover then so we took a picture of the old me – looking at the new me. I didn’t like the cover, but at that time it was fine. THE STORY JUST HAD TO HIT THE STREETS.
On the cool, I knew that my story was something to read. But never in a million years did I think the life I had lived would inspire so many people. Bring hope and light into the darkness the way it has. One year later I dropped a book called Loopholes, and because of the way Issues impacted the world, Eric and I created Kurko Inspires, to be my helping hand. The website is a way to connect and guide people who are interested in my books to buy direct or easily access to my Amazon Author Page.
I chose to cover the second book with the infinity sign. Loopholes was a book also shining the light on the journey from who I was and the transformation that took place to get me to where I am now. So, on Aug 26, 2017, I had two books out now. Both book covers were designed by my friend and publisher, Eric Jones. Here’s what the old covers looked like. They’ve since become collector’s editions.
It was not long before I was inspired to create yet another page turner called The Chronicles Of Paul. In this book you see divine intervention taking place time and time again. This book took a whopping two years to complete. I’d wrote three books and felt as if I were done.
On October 12, 2020, TGIM released The Chronicles Of Paul. The whole world was breathing through masks due to Covid. Since this was my third book, I wanted to make it special. Eric recommended that I pay a graphic designer to have the cover designed for this book. Eric had a point. Some people do judge a book by its cover, and I needed covers for all three books that truly reflected my stories inside those pages. Well, if I were going to pay to design one cover, I figured I’d pay to redesign the covers for my first two books as well. Here are the covers for all three books:
The hell I endured as a child into my early years, I felt it fit like peas and carrots. There was a time when I would’ve burnt the city to the ground and walked away in my gas mask. Fitting for the cover of Issues to say the least. I see people judge the cover when they see it, and “That’s OK!” The cover was not to be scary for my readers but depicts what life was like for me then.
Over the last 8 years, my readers have reached out to me letting me know what they got from my books and what they thought of them. I love connecting with my readers and I love each and every one of you. We’re just getting started here at Kurko Inspires.
Okay. Love ya, bye.

When I sit down to write, I take what has affected me and put it all into words in an effort to inspire men and women from all walks of life. I had no clue that sharing my story would have the impact that it has. It’s a fact that writing can and will set you free from issues that have kept you held captive as a prisoner of self-doubt and mental torment.
I have a God found love for humanity. I want those suffering from one issue or another to know that they can break the chains that hold them down. If you need someone to talk to, I’m here for you.
