About "Dreams Deferred":
“Dreams Deferred” is a heart-wrenching story about the pursuit of dreams and how they come alive through endless journeys and struggles. With every obstacle, there is a lesson and a victory.
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write "Dreams Deferred"?
Soltreu: The inspiration came from my desire to follow my dream of writing and helping others in whatever capacity I can. I wanted the novel to show that life really should be a circle of helping the other.
JP: What sets "Dreams Deferred" apart from other books in the same genre?
Soltreu: “Dreams Deferred” is different than others in the same genre for many reasons. This is a story focused on a positive path. It does not glorify the sex, drugs and violence of the times and life the main character is living. (read more)
JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that led to "Dreams Deferred" getting out to the public?

JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish "Dreams Deferred"?

JP: What’s next for Soltreu?
Soltreu: I am working on the sequel to “Dreams Deferred”, “Dreams Deterred”. I am also co-authoring a novel with a friend/big brother about his experience being clairvoyant. I am also often at some open mic in Detroit where I recite poetry. (read more)
