Interview With Author Ashton Scholl
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a creator, lover of life and all it has to offer, and passionate about skateboarding, and my faith. I have written and published two books so far. My first book is more youth mystery and black magic. The second book is a children’s book and a mixture of my story and the art of youth skateboarding.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Cement Dreams: A Skaters Journal is my latest book. I was inspired by where I am in life right now, and how far I’ve grown as a teenager and in skateboarding. I wrote this book to draw more attention to the sport with the younger generation.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Ha, that it takes me forever! Not really. Most of the time I am on my board so my books come from thoughts I have that I jot down or stem from an idea I have and when I get time I sit down, write it out, and work with my mom to piece it all together.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Tony Hawk, Hawk: Occupation Skateboarder inspired me to put the idea for Cement Dreams: A Skaters Journal together.
What are you working on now?
Focusing on skateboarding and getting ready for competitions. I would like to put out a comic book eventually.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neoskittlez/
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t do it for a paycheck do it because you love to write and connect with other readers around the globe.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
That normal is just a word that does a lot of damage.
What are you reading now?
The Hunger Games
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m just going to continue to push my creativity and run towards the book rather than away from it.
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 don’t have favorites. I truly love reading anyone’s work.
