Interview With Author Zofiaq Warwick
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Two, with a third one pending. I’m like 19 cats and counting! Seriously though, I am lacking in cats. Feel free to let me know where to get more or really, any.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Haunted Life of Matilda Harley: A Documentary (But Actually, a Novel) Part II. It was inspired by The Haunted Life of Matilda Harley: A Documentary (But Actually, a Novel) Part I. Strange how that works.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am an unusual writing habit.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A bunch of Terrys. Jones, Pratchett, Brooks. Okay, maybe more like three Terrys.
What are you working on now?
Scripts mostly, with The Haunted Life of Matilda Harley stories undergoing editing/rewrites on the side and getting posted to Amazon via the dumping grounds of Kindle Direct Publishing.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I don’t really know because I never took marketing classes and am well broke.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write whatever the heck you want and don’t look back. It does not matter if you’re Herman Melville or Charles Dickens. (Melville was arguably the nicer fellow and had a cool whale, but it didn’t get him much in life.) Just write. Who cares?
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Alannis Morisette gets that the irony is, the good advice is the stuff you just didn’t take to heart.
What are you reading now?
Ghost Train to the Eastern Star~Paul Theroux
What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing and hopefully not immediate death thereafter?
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?
Good travel books for sure. Something by Bryson or Theroux. Maybe one of Mary Roach’s great studies of a scientific discipline to round it out. Small Gods maybe.
