Interview With Author Andrew Crawford
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have only written one book but it is an inspiring true story of my survival of a horrible car crash and the 5years that followed. The book is full of my past experiences with life saving surgeries, Dr's, Rehabilitation Specialists and stories from the very interesting journey it was.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Second Chance at Life. The 9year anniversary of my survival had passed and my work with some local NotForProfit organizations were coming to an end. I met an incredible individual named David Carruthers who heard my story and wanted to get it into a book. I never thought I would be a writer but when an opportunity like this arrises you have to take it!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I prefer to write in nature. I will venture into the depths of the woods or somewhere out in the middle of nowhere so I can be surrounded by nature and silence. I find it helps ease my very busy mind
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I grew up reading R.L Stines "Goosebumps" and ended up reading the first 3 Harry Potter books. Unfortunately I fell off from reading into my teens as I started working more but happy to be back reading books!
What are you working on now?
I'm actually working on 2 things right now. Since the release of my first I thought about all the things I had left out, the journey from surgical table to graduating college had so many cool stories I love telling I thought let's put it into another book! I'm also currently working on a script for a movie I think will change the world. It is a fresh new idea noone has done yet and it has potential to be incredibly funny! My goals are high and I will climb the ladder!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I primarily sell my books through in person sales and if I can't get a physical copy to someone I have a complimentary E-Book I offer to send!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Give it a chance! I honestly never thought I would ever write a book and when an opportunity arose I said you know what let's do it! You never know what you could be good at by never trying. Im definitely no professional author but I think that gives my story an authentic touch. Real words from a real guy just writing what's on his mind.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up because you failed. It's simple but it really can help push people past points they thought they couldn't do. You might not be able to right now but that doesn't mean you can't someday!
What are you reading now?
I'm currently reading Matthew Perry's recently released book. I only prefer to read real stories from real people.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finishing up the 2nd book and working towards getting the movie from script to film!
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?
