Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello, everyone! I use the pen name Antheya, which means “blossom” in Ancient Greek. I am a lawyer, philosopher and a teacher, but, in my spare time, I love writing.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Young Philosophers. On Media.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. I write listening to ambient music and also I like travelling a lot. Seeing how other people live inspire me. Sometimes positively, others-not. But it always gives me something to contemplate on.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Mainly philosophers and deep thinkers. I do not like shallow stories. They are a pleasant waste of time, which I cannot afford. I believe we are here to answer some vital questions for life, before we move on.
What are you working on now?
On the next book of the same dialogue series. It will be focused on Immigration.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I try a bit of everything. And I give a lot for free. That is my secret – good quality for the price of your time to read it. And your meditation on the reading.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes. Write! It is so much fun! If you have it inside you, just don’t stop it!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be yourself! Always and at any price.
What are you reading now?
Some macroeconomic analyses. I need that for my work.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have to finish the series for the Young Philosophers. That will make writing at least 3 more books. Then, we will see…
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?
I will take a notebook and a pen. That would keep me busy for longer!
