Interview With Author Chris Warren-Dickins
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a psychotherapist in New Jersey and I have written two mental health / psychology books. This year I published Beyond Your Confines, and last year I released Beyond the Blue.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Beyond Your Confines: The key to free your mind. During the pandemic
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
In the attic office on the top floor of my house, I sing my heart out to ballads (mainly Taylor Swift, Joan Armatrading, or Carole King) while I dance in front of my standing desk. I feel sorry for my neighbours.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
For non-fiction, anything by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Dan Siegel, Stephen Porges, or Deb Dana. For fiction, anything by Gillian Flynn, Michael Cunningham, or Haruki Murakami.
What are you working on now?
I am dabbling in illustrated children's books (to improve their mental health) and a little bit of fiction for adults.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am hopeless at promoting anything but my website is https://www.chriswarrendickins.com/
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep reading and writing in equal measure. And don't let it take over your life so you neglect what keeps your mental health. No book is worth that.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Your opinion matters.
What are you reading now?
Psychological thrillers including The Silent Patient and Sharp Objects.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would love to write a series of psychological thrillers…we will see.
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?
Anything by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Dan Siegel, Gillian Flynn, or Haruki Murakami
