Interview With Author Carl Mainwaring
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Carl Mainwaring; is the husband of a rock star primary school teacher and the dedicated father of two beautiful young children. Born in 1966, Stoke-on-Trent, England, just after the historic 4-2 England world cup win! “Yes, he is still hanging onto past glory.” Carl is now a British/New Zealander living in the spectacular city of sails, Auckland.
Carl has always had a thirst for knowledge, so it was no surprise that Carl became a dedicated high school teacher of twenty-plus years; as a lifelong learner, Carl aims to guide, nurture, and facilitate a sense of self-awareness, challenge all to explore and grow, and see problems as opportunities, to these ends it was a natural next step for Carl to put pen to paper.
Carl loves the solitude of New Zealand’s bush (forest) in his downtime, where he can be at one with nature, but his most precious times are spent with his whanau (family) on his sunny north Aukland property surrounded by ancient forest.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
BIOHACKER
Biohacker decodes scientific jargon to bring you the facts in plain English. It removes the western medical concept of placing the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. It follows the science, allowing you to identify and understand the upstream issues, thus fixing them before they reach the vastness of the ocean; you will not only understand the reasons behind the science but will be able to actively intervene, giving you the know-how to change your life, regain your healthspan, and put many more years on your clock, empowering you to know yourself, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Biohacker gives evidence-based guidance for living longer and better, preventing and even reversing disease; you’ll see rapid results in overall healthspan and maybe even age backward.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m a part-time author, full-time teacher, and overtime dad and husband, so it’s pretty chaotic; however, I am hoping in the not to distance future go part-time teaching, giving more time for my writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love a large variety of fiction to non-fiction; it depends on my mood and my need, that is, whether I’m cleansing my body or mind. Authors, everyone from Lewis Carroll to David Sinclair P.hD.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on BIOHACKER, which I am incredibly excited about, due to be released Dec 2022.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Awesome Gang naturally.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I would love to say follow your dreams, and you should, but know that the writing counts for less than half of the workload; the rest is spent on admin, promotion, and lots of other stuff; it’s like any other job, the other gets in the way of what you actually love doing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
From one of my favorite authors, “It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then” -Lewis Carroll.
What are you reading now?
The Cancer Code – Jason Fung
What’s next for you as a writer?
My goal “Dream” is to be a full-time writer; I have so many future books in my head.
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?
Childhood dreams, let’s be young again: Alice In Wonderland, Stig of the Dump and The Thirty-Nine Step.
