Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an eclectic, trilingual published writer. I have published traditionally and self-published. I have written “eleven books plus one”. Why am I stating ” eleven plus one”?…because number 12 is a paperback that is still in the hands of my publisher. Actually I am waiting for my friend David Hines, a Shroud of Turin researcher, to write the preface before it can be edited and published. So number 12 is a prophetic book that will be entitled “Heart of a Savior”. It will be published with Northern Books and will be available in paperback and e-book. Now let’s talk about number ” eleven plus one”: my most recent book is an e-book. It summarizes my recent trip to Eretz Israel in April 2017.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It is entitled ” 7 days in Israel, my journey to the Holy Land”. Well, this book summarizes all spiritual highlights I experienced in the Holy Land, like praying at the Kotel ( Western Wall) in Jerusalem and encountering the mystical Sea of Galilee, but also very ordinary daily life episodes. It contains some useful advices for lone travelers.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I usually write at a Café named Cofféa. I am using my laptop, but I usually always carry a notebook for the brainstorming of ideas.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are so many. I love Marcel Pagnol and Balzac for the French authors. As for the German authors, I am fond of Schiller, Heine and Goethe.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a draft called “Figments of Light”.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am using social media quite a lot. I am also using Awesomegang and other free media, and press releases.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. Keep perfecting your skills. Also spend some time on editing or hire some professional editor. The way you present your books matters a lot.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I have been given is ” one becomes a writer by writing”.
What are you reading now?
I am too much busy writing. I barely have time to read.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would like to expand more and make a living from my writings.
I’d like to share my experience ( not proselytism, it is about giving testimony) as a disciple of Yeshua our Messiah with other people worldwide.
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?
I’d bring a Tanach ( Hebrew bible ) and the Hebrew Delitzsch Gospels. That’s it. No more is needed for me.
