Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an independent author of poetry and short stories. I have written content for over 5 years, and within the last 2 years I have focused on poetry. I have published an ebook and a paperback through Amazon.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recent book is titled Woven Brevity: A 40 Poem Collection. It is a paperback which contains brevity works, lyrics, among other styles. The inspiration for the book was mainly driven by my desire to publish the poetry I had written online.

I’m unsure if this is atypical, but I almost always invent the title of my poem before writing any content in the body.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far it has been Amazon and to some degree Facebook.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I believe new authors should schedule time each week to write, even if the end product of the said session isn’t satisfactory. Maintaining a degree of optimism is also beneficial.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
When overwhelmed, focus attention on your breathing to anchor yourself into the present moment.
What are you reading now?
I am reading Harry Potter: The Sorcerer’s Stone.
What’s next for you as a writer?
