Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a journalist for various publications and a content writer for different tech companies. I live in Russia, but I am from a small town in Massachusetts where most of my friends were rocks.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book was The King of FU. It is a magical realism, coming-of-age novella set in a small town with small heroes and even smaller villains. It was inspired by growing by growing up in a small town surrounded by small heroes and even smaller villains.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write something every day. No discernible time.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A few poets like Sylvia Plath, Charles Baudelaire, T.S. Eliot. But I was more inspired by writers who used a lot of honesty and humor to shape their real-life stories like Bill Bryson and David Sedaris.
What are you working on now?
Just finished a new Radio Drama and Bilingual (Russian/English) Novelette called “The Babushka Society.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am still learning, but so far the best reactions I’ve received have come from review blogs like the Bibliophagist and Kookbookery.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be patient, save money, spend time.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
People just want to be entertained.
What are you reading now?
Jonathan Stroud.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am working on developing projects for Patreon and submitting The King of FU to different magazines and festivals.
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’m not much of an outdoorsman and I can’t read when I am hungry so I’d probably bring four copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica and hope that someone somewhere dropped a box of matches.
