Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a new author and i just published my debut novel last month.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first book is entitled “Escape From Guinea Island.” This book is a different take on the zombie genre. I’ve been a fan of that genre since i was a kid so i tried to create my own unique story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I usually write around midnight when everyone else is asleep. The stillness of the night and complete silence helps me focus on writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Mainly, mystery authors like Harlan Coben, Dean Koontz, James Patterson & Jeff Lindsay. I love reading books that would make me guess about the ending.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on the sequel book on my series “Escaping the Grave”.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well, promoting on social media works best for me. Not only I have the chance to meet a lot of readers but also my fellow writers as well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing and never give up. Not all people are born as storytellers. There are some stories that only you can be able to tell so it is your duty to give birth to those new ideas and concept.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
There is no such thing as easy path or short cuts in life. But one thing is for sure, all our hardship will have an outcome in the end. It is just a matter of time so you have to be patient.
What are you reading now?
Ready Player Two
What’s next for you as a writer?
After I am done with my apocalyptic series, I will try to write a different genre such as YA and children’s book.
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?
A Bible, an Encylopedia, a Dictionary and the World Atlas.
