Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been writing since the young age of 7, dabbling in short stories and entering numerous competitions. Possessions is my first full Novel and is the first book in a planned detective series. I also create short films, and have since created a video advert for my debut novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Possessions and is the first in a series I have called MSMI, which stands for Manslaughter and Murder Investigations. Watching a programme called Bones and another called Criminal Minds inspired me to start my own detective series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
As far as I am aware, I don’t think I have any unusual writing habits. Though my preferred place to write is in bed at night. That’s when the creative juices really start spilling.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Darren Shan is one of my favourite authors, and got me into reading and writing at a young age.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the second book in my MSMI series, and hopefully that will be out soon, too.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Facebook for most of my advertising, but I will also be trying Amazon advertising in the coming weeks to promote Possessions.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. No matter how you feel about your writing, whether you love it or hate it, just don’t give up. In time you will get better, and who knows where success will lead you?
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You try, you fail, you try, you fail. But the only true failure is when you stop trying!
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading Four by Veronica Roth.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope some day my books will become well known and loved, and I plan on branching out into different genres. But to be honest, only time will tell.
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 bring 4 of Darren Shans Demonata books, as they are what inspired me to write, and they are probably the best series I have read to date.
