Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Bradford Risbert. I like to write on topics of interest. I enjoy learning new things and writing about it. I believe complicated things should be simplified for most people to understand. I have written a few books on various topics such as aquariums and mobiles.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Universe Unfolded. I have a great interest in Astronomy and things related to it. I have watched a lot of documentaries where I learnt many fascinating things, that our universe has to offer. I greatly appreciate all the work put into all those documentaries and I’m very impressed with the simplified way, they explain things to us.
However, there can be certain things that might be a bit hard to understand or remember. Space documentaries pack in a lot of fascinating pieces of information in less than an hour and in order to digest all the information, one might need to watch a documentary more than once. In this vast subject, you will come across terminologies that you don’t quite understand.
So I decided to write this book to help everyone understand better, the subject of Astronomy. In this book, my aim is to cover almost everything I came across in all of the documentaries that I have watched till date and put it across, to my readers in the simplest and most exciting way possible. I intend to cover all terminologies and topics here, so it becomes much more easier to relate to the information provided by space documentaries.
In this book, I talk about our universe and the various aspects of its functionality, Quantum physics, light and its different wavelengths, different types of stars, process of star birth, mechanism and death of a star, Black holes and their immense power, galaxies and various galactic phenomena that happen in space, nebulas, our Solar System, proving basic info about the Sun, the planets and their moons, how life began and the possibilities of alien life.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
When it comes to writing, I may adopt many different strategies and techniques depending on my mood and what works for me at that point in time. Sometimes I may not know where to start, so I begin, by writing anything in a chaotic form and then a story starts to form by itself.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social Media, word of mouth, publishing the book in as many places as possible etc.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep an open mind. When your stuck, take a break. Try different approaches. Patience is an important thing. Don’t rush!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I might write about fantasy and fiction.
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 dont know about the others, but a book on survival would be one of them for sure.
