Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
The Perfect Tear is my first book and my first screenplay. I’ve finished the second installment as a script and will be starting the book before the end of the year.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Perfect Tear was inspired both by the over supply of dystopian narratives where young girls must learn to be fighting machines in order to survive, and the really awful path commercial music is taking. made by computers, voices auto-tuned, nothing is real anymore. The power of music lies within the person making it. The power of the vibration of truth and sound together is not well understood.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Once I start I find it hard to stop.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My songwriting is more of an inspiration as opposed to other authors. The incredible way the English language can be used is what I find inspiring.
What are you working on now?
My second film and book, The Living Library, takes place nine months after The Perfect Tear.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Getting reviews at the early stage is most important. How ever you can do that is good. If you’re an independent, the selling part can be a slow burn.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Get the very best editor money can buy.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Take you’re time. Great work takes time.
What are you reading now?
The Best Seller Code by Jodie Archer and Matthew L. Jockers was just released and it’s both terrifying and illuminating. It explains very clearly why Fantasy will never make the NYT best seller list but why Danielle Steele and John Grisham own it.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More songs, movies and books.
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?
Shakespeare so I could study them and turn them into modern day tales.
