Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am Aldrin Mathew and I am from Palakkad, Kerala, India. I am a Student and I am the Author of TIME TRAVEL EXPERIENCES which deals with 3 Different Topics – Psychological Aspects about Life, Mathematical Approach on Numbers, Scientific Aspects of Time Travel – in 3 Different Sections……. (It is my First and Only Book)
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Name of my Latest book is TIME TRAVEL EXPERIENCES. Time can neither be called a Hero, nor a Villain – because it is both. Almost all of us might have had a Negative Experience with Time in your Life. Well, at least mine was a bit too Exciting and Fascinating.
What that started as a Lame Attempt to share a few bits of Information, later became One of the most Exciting Endeavours of my Life…….
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
That’s an Interesting Question! I always write from my Experiences. And I do have an Unusual Habit – my Ideas are best served when I write at the very moment of getting that Idea or just after I am Inspired. Then it will be like a Continuous Flow of Words from my Mind. And I enjoy that…….
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I will mention a few books I really loved reading:
“Wings of Fire” – A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
“The Story of My Life” by Helen Keller
“The Boy who came back from Heaven” by Alex Malarkey & Kevin Malarkey
“The Count of Monte Cristo” – Alexandre Dumas
“Evans tries an O-Level” by Colin Dexter
“Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo
Almost all Jules Verne titles
What are you working on now?
Well, nothing much. I am looking forward to Advertise and Promote my Book as much as Possible. There haven’t yet been any Sales in Amazon and that just makes me a little nervous.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The Abstract answer to that Question is that, there is no Specific site to Advertise or Promote books. Every Available Option is a Potential Promotion Platform – still I go for only a few. But some sites like Facebook, Goodreads… might serve to be a better Option……. If you have some cash, then try Google Adwords…….
Do you have any advice for new authors?
For Indie Authors I have a lot to say, but for now I am saying only a few things. You will probably feel that your “Content is King” and that your Book will sell a Million copies within a month or two – it’s because most of us are writing out of our Inspiration. You have to Stop Expecting things about the Sales of your Books and soon as you Publish your Book, you have to start Promoting it continuously.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be a Pillar of this Universe – if you are not even trying, then you are proving to others that you are a Waste in this World (This is a Personal Advice from me that I give to myself in some situations).
What are you reading now?
“The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho (About to Start)
What’s next for you as a writer?
Promoting my Book as much as I can is one of my Plans. I am looking forward to Re-Publish the Book with some acclaimed Publishing House and I am also going to Translate the Book into my Native Language.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
THE HOLY BIBLE
“The Boy who came back from Heaven” by Alex Malarkey & Kevin Malarkey
“Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo
“My Experiments with Truth” by Mahatma Gandhi
“The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank
