Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Well, I started to write my very first book when I was 15. It was in Czech because I am half Czech and half Australian. My first English book was written when I was 16. Until now, I´ve written 8 books. Well, you probably would ask me, how old I am. The answer is 19. Suprised?
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called (Fairy) Tales from Garradh and I wrote it because I think, that in the current market aren´t quite good books for children. All of it is supermodern fantasy with undefeatable heroes. I don´t like this kind of fairy tales. I prefer classic stories and that´s exactly, what my book is about.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Usually, I drink a tea or coffee 🙂 I love writing at my cottage because there is nothing, what could disturb me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I think, that every fantasy or fairy tales author must be influenced by Tolkien. I also like Terry Brooks and C.S. Lewis.
What are you working on now?
Currently, I´m working on (Fairy) Tales from Garradh Volume two and I´m trying to promote the Volume one on Amazon. You know, it isn´t easy, but I believe in my book a lot 🙂
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Difficult to say. I have my blog, fb page and fb ads. Promoting is never easy but you must not give up!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up and believe in your books. Don´t be shy to write. Every idea you have is a good idea!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Have you failed? Good! Now go and fail again! Never give up trying!
What are you reading now?
Edda. It is an old book from Scandinavia. Very interesting!
What’s next for you as a writer?
Become a successful writer 🙂
