Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I only wrote a book, but translated into 3 languages (English, Spanish and German). I lived for many years in Asia, specially in India, mainly meditating. It´s now 8-9 years that I live in Germany, but it was through the meditations that I did during my 21 days Christmas holidays 2 winters ago, that it came to me that I had to write this book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My only book is “Unconditional. Based in the true story of a metanoia”. As a child I had a friend who gave me very important advices. In that time he already told me that when I will be grown up, I will write books. But that stayed somewhere in the “back of my mind”, till during the retreat that I did, it came up again. It´s actually my memoir.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don´t think I do too many unusual things, because in any case everybody is special, and so are the things each does
What authors, or books have influenced you?
They didn´t influence me because it´s a memoir, but when I did a research to find out what kind of books are similar to mine, I found out that in this same field are “The Alchemist”, “The Little Prince”, “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”, “The Celestine Prophecy” and “Conversations With God” as examples, but the situations and experiences of Unconditional were real.
What are you working on now?
One of the main things is to start a “business” where I take people to have spiritual experiences to different countries.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I´m just learning
Do you have any advice for new authors?
By writting, one expresses oneself and gets out things that might otherwise be stuck inside. It doesn´t matter of the book sells or not. Just feel free to express your inner side.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
All the advices are good and the best in every given moment. Because the same advice given when that´s not the point, it´s not an advice, it sounds more like beautiful words. But an advice given when one needs it, in that moment, is the best advice
What are you reading now?
No really “normal” books because I´m studying to become an alternative therapist
What’s next for you as a writer?
The second part of the story, which probable is much more interesting
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?
The books I mentioned before
