Interview With Author David Allen
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a graduate of the University of Missouri, Columbia. I grew up in Cape Girardeau, MO, the only inland Cape in America. I have written one book so far with plans to write more. I live with my dog Dragon, a 13 year old terrier.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Fury: A Cinderella Story. What inspired it was my love for horror, and specifically horror movies. I wanted a fun twist on the genre that also had a take on modern issues.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
There is actually a food court in town and as busy as it is, it became my go to place for writing. I found it oddly peaceful and I could concentrate.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King is a major influence.
What are you working on now?
Right now I am working on two other novels. I plan on releasing them in 2025.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My best method is finding fans of the genre on social media and interacting with them. They like to know authors are fans like they are.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Before you release your book, study! Find a team, find fans, look online at what other authors have done, and most of all, be as persistent with marketing your book as you were writing it. It is your creation.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write something that people want to read.
What are you reading now?
I am starting Final Girl.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Working on my next novels and hopefully attending live events.
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?
Carrie
The Blackwoods
Bible
The history of the Universe
