Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a Jamaican author of romance and sci fi/fantasy. I’ve written a lot of books, but I have published just one so far. I hope to publish more over the next few years.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Vice. It wasn’t inspired by anything really. I just wanted to see if I could write something edgier than I usually do so I decided to try my hand at a motorcycle romance series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Every writer probably has unusual habits but I do tend to write really late at night or very early in the morning. Like 4am early.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A lot of authors but since I have to narrow it down – Alyssa Cole, Beverly Jenkins, Andrea Levy
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on a historical romance series. Historical romance is one of my favorite genres to read, but I had been hesitant about writing it. I didn’t think I could for a lot of reasons. But when I lost someone close to me, I realized that the future isn’t a guarantee. I might think I’ll have the courage to write something 10 years from now, but there’s no guarantee I’ll even been here, so I realized that now is the time to write what’s in my heart.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m a newbie published author so I’m not sure if I have enough experience with promo to answer this.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
You don’t have to write very single day to be a writer.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
There’s a solution to every problem
What are you reading now?
Going back and forth between Queen of the Conquered by Kacen Callender, and Hearth and Home by Rebel Carter
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m working on publishing my first series within the next year. *crosses fingers*
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?
Probably books that take me back to my childhood so: Sabriel, Black Beauty, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
