Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a mystery, mainly. There’s not much to me, but you’re welcomed to journey with me if you’d like;).
I.F.C.U Where is Johanna Blake? Part 1, is my first short story title in the series so far.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I.F.C.U Where is Johanna Blake? Part 1
The inspiration just came to me as I love anything to do with crime (don’t mean it in a bad way;)). If I can create a story in my head, after either watching or reading something of the nature, then I get to work on it. There’s no real basis for inspiring my writing creativity… I just think up of a story that’ll give a challenge to write, and I do it… most of the time.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m sure that I do, but none that will come to the top of my head at the moment.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
For crime, mystery, suspense-thrillers: David Baldacci, John Grisham, James Patterson.
For sci-fi/fantasy: George Lucas’s Star Wars series, Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth and J.K Rowling.
What are you working on now?
I.F.C.U Where is Johanna Blake? Part 2.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m just starting out, so I really couldn’t say. However, I’m hoping that the Awesome Gang promotion brings me some luck.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write. If you only have just thoughts, but never really trying putting them down on paper, or on a screen… then how will know if you’re really a writer? or even a story-teller? Just write, that’s the only advice that I can really give.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“If you really want to do something that you love and enjoy doing. Just do it!” My mum said that to me several years ago when I was a teenager. And I still believe those words to this day.
What are you reading now?
Love Anthony by Lisa Genova and Destiny Blues by Sharon Joss.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Continuing the I.F.C.U (International Federal Crime Unit) series. I’m also still trying to work out some stuff regarding a long thought-of Sci-Fi/Fantasy series as well.
Perhaps most of all, I just want to keep writing my stories, my way for as long as I live.
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?
John Grisham’s A Time to Kill & The Pelican Brief, Stephen King’s The Shining, and Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games (first title in the series).
