Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Cam I was born in it-almost-never rains Los Angeles, California and grew up in Brighton, England.
I currently feel very adult I have two books under my hat. Both books are in the Young Adult genre.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Fate of Amber Pine was inspired by a car accident I was passing on my way to Comic-Con a few years back.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really usual, but my mates think it is, I can stay up for three days straight when I’ve found that place…the place when the words just flow and blend together like cheese and chocolate, and create chocolate moose cheesecake.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
One of the first novels I’ve ever read was Dicey’s Song by Cynthia Voigt. I found it in a thrift shop I used to frequent a lot and it took over my summer days. I didn’t read the first in the series until summer was over and I was searching for more work by her in my school’s library. Recently I learned I missed out on five other books. Now I’m a wee obsessed with getting them.
What are you working on now?
My character Antonio Caffarelli-DeSonto’s second novel. I’m actual having a lot of fun with it, it takes place in the summer in my hometown. It’s like going down memory lane a bit. Except my character is batshit.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This is the part where I’m to say Awesomegang eh? I don’t actual have one as of yet, but I only have two novels under my hat. What until that third one, then, I’ll have to come back and tell you lot.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. One sentence, paragraph, page, it doesn’t matter simply write. Then when you think you’ve got the most brilliant novel the world has ever seen put it aside, come back to it, and realise it’s utter nonsense and start again. I say this all the time to my little sister who likes to write too.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t be draft write for money. At first, I thought it was the worst thing to hear as a writer. Then I understood it later. People don’t see brilliance when it never leaves the comfort of mates.
What are you reading now?
Insight by Jaime Magee.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Oi. I don’t know but I really want to continue to write and become an entrepreneur. I’d like to be able to tell people, yeah, I got here with my ah-mazing rock star writing talents. Starving artist. Not a real career. Wrong.
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?
How’d I get stranded?
Catch 22, Game of Thrones, and Harry Potter I figure I need length novels to forgot I was deserted on some island.
