Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am currently a renowned dating guru, personal life coach, and brand marketing
specialist . I have a burning passion for helping other people become the best possible
version of themselves. I currently live in Leicester in the UK.
I have had a diverse career background working as a nightclub promoter, primary school teacher, politician, and now I work as a
marketing and public relation specialist for large corporate clients.
For all of my career, the focus of my working life has been to help develop people. I wrote the book to help men out there in the modern age with a modern dating book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called – Getting The Girl – Moving Beyond the Pick Up Artist, Changing Your Life and Attracting More Women .
I wanted to combine my vast experience and teaching abilities with
up-to-date research of the dating world. So I can set out to help other men navigate the (a little bit) harsh climate of today’s dating world
To improve their dating life and find what they are looking for with ease.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to write in the day when the sun is shining through the windows. I find it important to treat writing like a proper job . To dedicate hours at a time to working through a section then coming back to edit it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am influenced by The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill , Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss and many others. I like books that begin by changing your mindset. This is what I am to do in my books.
What are you working on now?
I am now working on a supplementary training book to help men improve their physique and get into shape. A training log to keep track of their progress
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I like to use blogs and work alongside websites that already have established fan bases.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep going until you get that first draft. That is the hardest part. Once you’ve gotten that bit done it is easy to go back and edit. I think most people try and make it perfect too soon. Just outline the basic idea and structure then come back 🙂
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Things are never as bad as they first seem. It will all be ok in the end. If it isn’t alright it isn’t the end.
What are you reading now?
How to Win Friends and Influence People 😉
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 would take Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. A survival guide by Bear Grylls. One on Chemistry to help with the water problem and probably one on carpentry to build a shelter !
