Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My names Ian I love writing drawing and painting. I currently have one book Mr Thinkalot’s Fantastic Space Journey out now, and my next book Mr Thinkalot’s Spectacular Space Journey out in October. But currently I have 3 books in the works.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Mr Thinkalot’s Spectacular Space Journey what inspired Mr Thinkalot was teaching climate change gently. I feel it’s important for younger people to understand, a lot worry and we hear of it daily. Also I wanted to make it fun not like a lesson, but a space adventure that will appeal to boys and girls. The second book has many female characters.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Writing early hours because I struggle with sleeping.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
None have influenced on these books but I’m looking forward to doing horror titles and Stephen King was my favourite.
What are you working on now?
Another book on nutrition, but this is a book with fruit and vegetables that have names and talk and go to school.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well it’s on Amazon and deviant art.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t put off writing like I have, I never thought I could do it and here I am with nearly 2 books out and working on another 3. I never thought I could but when the publisher accepted I was like I should of done this years ago.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Chase your dreams.
What are you reading now?
I’m to busy to read right now. I have lots of illustrations and writing to be getting on with.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books more writing and more illustrating, the next book after the vegetable one, is Mr Thinkalot’s Epic Space Journey book 3. Also I have another book in the works but don’t wish to give anything away on that one.
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?
