Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
That is a question, isn’t it? I more so write the footnotes and BLA handles the main text. But the footnotes ARE part of the book so I’ve probably participated in about 25% of each of the two volumes for the Circo del Herrero series. Does that mean I’ve written half a book? The CIRCO series has 3 volumes planned. The first one is THE AUTOMATION, which you can download for free in multiple places, such as on the Internet Archive.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The second volume is the most recent. It is called THE PRE-PROGRAMMING. The inspiration comes easy, honestly, because I am just annotating and editing the text of the Narrator, BLA. The books are very meta and you could even call us characters in the series. BLA certainly is, ahem.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
You could say that. Annotating the text of your significant other who thinks they were a cat in a past life who lived with a bunch of ancient robots can really make things unusual. For sure.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Lately, Donna Haraway. We do not write for sky gods. We write for the chthonic
What are you working on now?
The third volume. Footnote # 100-something, probably.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Probably Twitter. It’s where we have the most followers. I’m @circofootnotes.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read. But read selectively. Don’t waste time on a book you think you can learn from unless you have a full understanding of what it can offer you. Read reviews first. Read the bad reviews. Read why someone doesn’t like something. Maybe their reasons are dumb and you will think the exact opposite.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Read between the lines. There’s footnotes there.
What are you reading now?
Lore Olympus. It’s a free web comic and I am living for it. I heard it’s about to be a Netflix show.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Vol. 3 and then tending to the cats.
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?
Books on how to farm and survive probably. I’m not one to re-read fiction a lot. I get it the first time. Unless I’m editing it. In which case, I read that stuff twice because, you know. Read between the lines.
