Interview With Author D.V. Aleman
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m from Miami, Florida and currently have one book published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book, “The Weight of the Word” was inspired by life experience and people that I encounter throughout my life. Some of them have become some of the most influential people in my life.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I just write from the heart; true feeling.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Tbh, I just write about situations and people. So, in a sense, those that I encounter become what influences my writing…not necessarily an author.
What are you working on now?
I’ve always wanted to write a children’s book. I’ve working on a storyline and have created an original character, but it’s just in the beginning stages.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I tend to promote mostly in social media. Instagram has been instrumental in getting my words out to a larger audience.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write what you feel and make sure it’s from the heart. Don’t be afraid to express your feelings.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just Do it!!! Nike got it right with that one. Lol.
What are you reading now?
Right now I’m mostly listening to a lot of good music. I find the poetry in the lyrics and am truly inspired to write. I don’t have a specific genre that I listen to more than others. There’s magic in all forms of music including instrumentals where there are no words at all…just pure emotion.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to continue to grow as a writer and build an audience that is inspired by what I gave to say.
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?
This is a tough one, but I would honestly want three blank books to be able to write my own.
