Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Living near beautiful nature in the Northwest with both forest and coast with in walking distance, I like to wander in those surroundings when the weather allows it. I enjoy the fresh air, and it gives my mind space to let new ideas flow.
When not writing, I love to cuddle up with a book or watch a TV series or hang out with friends and family.
I have written short stories ever since my teenage years, but ever since the adult years I have had a sweet spot for gender swap and transformation stories focusing strongly on romance, adventure and the erotic. I started writing them for my own amusement and to please my writing urge, but now I have taken the leap and published a book and already working on my next.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My debut book, Transformed into a Hot Babe, is based on old ideas and some of my short stories, which I only wrote for myself. I then formed them into a more structured full story. I have a very imaginative mind, some would even say a little weird at times, which always give me plenty of ideas. The book is a romance story with a touch of a sci-fi tech. and a gender swap for the main character as the hot spice to the story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think I do. When I feel the story, action or dialog flow I can write very fast, while other times it can move more slow or I even need to go for a walk to clear my mind and let the dialog or movement in the plot settle in my head so I find the right path in the story.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Oh that was a tough one. There is so many when think about it and even more I would forget probably so I think I better name none and not forget any either then.
What are you working on now?
Currently I’m working on my next book, which will be in the same genre as my first though also a lot different. While I was writing, Transformed into a Hot Babe, I got some ideas that did not fit in that story and which I noted down. That note I have returned to and work on form those ideas into a new engaging story.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
On that subject, I’m probably still more a student than a teacher. But a place like this website is a good example together with social media.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you have a writer in your stomach and an idea for a book, then write and see what you can accomplish.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It is to believe in yourself. I know it have been said and written by so many that it have probably become almost a cliche, but that don’t mean it can’t be a true and good advice especially for an author where it is easy to have a doubt in yourself in the process of your writing.
What are you reading now?
Sadly nothing at the moment since too busy with promoting my current book while also writing on my next, but hopefully I’ll find the time soon for some reading too.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Besides writing and getting my next book published, it is to continue to grow and evolve as an author.
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 look up and bring 1-2 books on how to survive alone on a desert island else I’d be completely lost there and not find any time or pleasure in reading the other books I’d bring. Then I’d bring Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, one of my all-time favorites which is written with wit and intelligence, and lastly Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, a genre book I never thought would interest me but the story really captivated me.
