Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written two books. Both are in a series titled Splendificent. I suppose you could say I wrote three since I wrote a book when I was in high school. But, that was for fun and I never published it. I have hidden it away so no one will ever read it and know of my highscchool shame!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled Splendificent 2. As for the inspirations that’s a little complicated. I’m very inspired by Japanese Role Playing Games like the Persona series and visual novels like Danganronpa and Choas Child. I like the over the top characters and incredible, fantastical elements. I also wanted to create a world with deep lore that can stretch back centuries. Twilight and Vampire Diaries inspired me to try my luck at Urban Fantasy. I thought I’d have the next Twilight on my keyboard but it turned out quite different in some respects. I still love you, Bella!
The characters in my book are usually inspired by my preferences and sometimes people I have known. I have a princess because I like royalty and fairytales. I have a pixie who’s dad is a pro wrestler because I used to love pro wrestling. She’s surly and rude because I knew a girl just like that in 12th grade,
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to play videogames while writing. I write a bit then stop and play the game for the bit. Then I go back to writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Twilight was a big inspiration. The Mortal Instruments was huge for me and a great learning tool. I love The Withcer series and wish I could be as talented as that author.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on Splendificent 3. I hope to make it even more over the top than the first two books! I also do short stories of the Splendificent universe on my blog at HTTP://www.dacyalex.com
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My website: http://www.dacyalex.com
What are you reading now?
I am reading Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of The Future and a book on the Romanov dynasty of Russia.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully lots of great reviews and fanmail!
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?
I’d bring the entire Witcher series. Or maybe I’d just bring thick books so I’d have paper to burn for a fire.
