Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve been writing books since I can remember, I used to write superhero books as young as 9 years old. I’ve published two books now, my first I wrote in 2017 called Thunder. It was a Sci-Fi short story only a couple pages long, and I was 14 at the time. To my surprise, the book gained a lot of traction, although I realized that Sci-Fi books weren’t what I truly wanted to write.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My new book is called Prophecy of Dreams. The main inspiration of this book was my sleeplessness, and I wanted to write a book about all the things I think about before I can finally get to sleep. It is a collection of poetry and prose tied together into three parts, each starting with a poem that contains a dialogue between my consciousness. My indecision, fear, anger, versus my calm, wise, and hopeful side.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I definitely do. I only like to write extremely late at night. I get my best ideas when I’m tired, and it’s dark, which I suppose helps when you’re writing a book about dreams. Sometimes after not being able to sleep for hours I write to clear my thoughts, which is reflected throughout the book.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Oddly enough, I would say that most of my inspiration comes from music. Bob Marley was a definite influence on the philosophic side of this book. Another influence was grandson, an Alternative artist whose music has a heavy political side to it. Many of the values shared in his music are synonymous with my book.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a sequel to Prophecy of Dreams. I am also writing two different novels as well. I won’t say anymore because I don’t want to give anything away, but I’m definitely excited to share these new books with the world.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It doesn’t matter how young you are, or how good you think your writing is; you can self publish it and share it with family and friends. There is no better way to express yourself than putting your writing out there.
