Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Currently, I have written 2 books and I’m working on number 3. I, also, wrote a short story, which felt like it was harder to write than my novels.
I am a full-time student as well as working full-time. It makes finding time to write difficult, but I’ve been managing it somehow. Fitting time to read can be hard, as well, but being an English major, I’ve been keeping up with that, though the focus has been classics more than the romance novels that I want to read.
I have 3 cats, who are adorable in their jerkiness. I’m an avid animal lover, but cats are my favorite, specifically my cats. Yes, I am bias on that.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book that was released on October 2 is Betting on the Devil: Fated to Hell Book 1. There wasn’t really anything that inspired it. I wanted to read a romance that featured the Devil as the love interest and couldn’t find any, so I wrote my own.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to eat sunflower seeds when I write. They help. I can’t explain it any more than that.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There really hasn’t been a single author that I can pick out that had influenced me. I read so much it’s really hard to tell which author could have influenced me in any way. I’ve kind of just mixed all of them together. I can say my favorite authors are Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and J.K Rowling, but I don’t think any of them have any influence over what I’ve currently been writing.
What are you working on now?
The book I am currently working on is untitled. It’s the first in a series, which is currently untitled as well. It’s close to being halfway finished. With school I’m not sure when I’ll have the first draft done. The goal is to have it finished by the end of the year.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve only written the two books, so I don’t really have a method or website just yet. I’ll get back to you on this one after I released a few more books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing, don’t be afraid of failure, and learn from your mistakes.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just keep writing, don’t be afraid of failure, and learn from your mistakes. It’s what many authors have said to me personally and in general.
What are you reading now?
Several things. Some Shakespeare plays. Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography. Orion by Ruby Lionsdrake.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Another 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?
How to Survive on a desert island. How to build a fire on a desert island. How to build a Shelter on a desert island. And maybe The Stand by Stephen King because I’m probably going to be on that island for a while and I need something long to keep me occupied when I’m not trying to survive.
