Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I love music, movies, books and sports. I contribute a few words at PopMatters.com. I like to write experimental and satirical books that are rooted in realism. I focus on providing insights into the psychology and philosophy of the characters. My debut novel Romantic Guerrilla is available on Amazon. Fyodor Dostoevsky, Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Mulk Raj Anand, Irvine Welsh, and Chuck Palahniuk are few of my favorite writers.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The conflict between entrepreneurs and investors is real. It’s not outlandish to imagine an investor kicking out an entrepreneur. Few smart entrepreneurs play the game and become billionaires; other fools will be labelled as inefficient and forced to exit. This premise provided me with an inspiration to give a novel treatment to a real conflict in Romantic Guerrilla.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t write everyday to meet word count. I wait until it happens naturally. My writing is powered by tea and music.

Use society and use first-hand and second-hand experiences to write that one big story. Start from something you know and develop the story using your imagination. Read interviews of your favorite writers to get inspired.
