Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Catherine. I am a lawyer turned writer and I am writing full time since December 2016. I have completed six stories so far and have several ongoing stories in the pipeline.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Reincarnated Love. The idea of reincarnation has been revolving in my mind for years and I started writing it when I finally had all pieces together.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing in particular. Sometimes, I write continuously for hours upto 10,000 a day. Sometimes, I don’t write at all.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Cynthia Eden, G.A. Aiken, Gena Showalter, J.K. Rowling, Loren Dohner are the authors, who inspired me. Cynthia Eden’s Night Watch Series, Montlake for me series and Shadow Agents series made me fall for Supernatural genre. Loren Dohner’s New Species series are the best. Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld gave me many sleepless nights with readings and G.A. Aiken’s Dragon Kin series made me fall in love with dragons.
All these authors inspired me in one way or the other. But, I mostly consider Cynthia Eden as my idol.
What are you working on now?
I am working on Shadow Crawlers series which is a supernatural mystery/thriller. The Lycan Series & Randolph Series, which are Werewolf/Vampire cross-genre romance and then a few Romance stories as well. Reincarnated Love is a Vampire Romance. I also have a few romance stories in the pipeline.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I write on Wattpad.com under username @Catherine_Edward. I mostly use Twitter for promoting my books and I recently opened a Facebook page.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I believe finishing the story is more important than worrying about all the mistakes you made. You can always go back and edit the things you don’t like. Write only for the love of it. Writing takes time and patience. Do it with a passion and keep writing. No matter what happens never give up.
There is nothing wrong with taking a break, but never stop. Always have an open mind to accept critics. Appreciate the constructive feedback you receive and keep working on your writing skills.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
No matter what happened in life, you should keep going. Believe in yourself and face your problems with a positive attitude.
What are you reading now?
I just finished reading Blue Butterflies and Red Velvet Anemones written by my friend on Wattpad. The current reading list has MNJ. Greenhill’s Buried.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have received an offer from a publisher and have been considering it. I would love to publish my books on paperback, but it will take some time considering that I have uncompleted sequels in the pipeline.
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?
Dragon Kin Series and Montlake for me series. If I can take more then I would take New Species Series too. Enough to keep me occupied for months. Lol…
