Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi everyone, I’m Alicen. I grew up in the deep south and my drive for writing didn’t kick in until I was in my 20s, but once it did it took off fast. Over the years I’ve written blogs, edited for indie authors and ran my own review blog for a while too. Eventually, it led me to write my own book series.
I’ve published one book so far and am currently working on the second in what will be a 20+ book series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Mythical Universe: The Beginning was a book I had in my head for several years but couldn’t find exactly the way I wanted to do it. Once everything clicked into place with the entire series taking form, I was able to write it pretty quickly.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Sometimes if a scene is in my head I have to write it down even if it’s out of order of what I’m working on. With The Showdown (book 2 in The Mythical Universe) I wrote several scenes before I officially started writing the book.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Giver was one of my absolute favorites when I was a teenager. These days I’ve been reading a lot of indie authors and that’s always inspiring to me because they did it their way.
What are you working on now?
The Showdown, the second book in The Mythical Universe.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Honestly, I’m still figuring that out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Stay persistent.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The only way you lose is if you give up on yourself. As long as you keep trying, you’re not losing.
What are you reading now?
Her Name Is Murder by AC Merkel.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to finish The Showdown within the next few weeks and start prepping to release it at the end of summer.
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?
Supernatural Academy by Jaymin Eve. All three of them.
