Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a quiet fireball. The times that I speak are when righteousness deserves a voice, or when I’m initiating a joke with a friend. Motivating people in their journey to discover who they are, and empower their dreams, is sincere passion that I entail. Although, I’m young, the opportunity to provide leadership for my peers has always been potent. I admire being that person that people can look up to. More so, that’s why I began writing. As, the author of two books, literature is powerful in the message that it can provide.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Released early March of this year, my latest book is Beyond the Worst. It’s a fiction story about the hardships that can cycle through our lives, whether we deserve the misfortune or not. I actually wrote the book several years ago, but decided to make some changes. The tragic murder of my youngest uncle Jay, touched me to write the dedication to the determined man he was. Surely, Beyond the Worst, can be saddening at times, but the moral of the story is aspiring.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual is an understatement to my writing habits. I tend to write in time gaps, which allows me to think of creative ways to write the next chapter. The time gap could range from a couple days, to a week, or a month.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Even as an young adult, Charlotte’s Web is my favorite book of all-time. When your literature can touch people, in anyway possible, it’s self gratifying. I hope my books can touch people also.
What are you working on now?
Working, working, working is all I’m doing! I’m currently working on a third book, which will cause an uproar on social issues like sexuality intolerance and social bullying. In the midst of writing, I’m preparing to launch my online television network before years’ end.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Chapter samples, pictures of the book cover, and more information on my books can be found at www.keandrecurry.com/books
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be authentic, because this allows your readers to grasp your personality. Readers love feeling like they’re right in the middle of the story. Basically, put the reader in a dream with your story. I wish I would have done so with my first book.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Be what you seek,” is the best advice I’ve received. It’s self explanatory and straight to the point, what better advice can you ask for?
What are you reading now?
Still in remorse with the loss of my youngest Uncle, I’m reading “The Shack”. I seen the movie a month ago, and it’s defiantly worth viewing.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Next up for me will be a new book, clothing line launch, and the establishment of the online television network.
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?
Great question! Stranded on a desert island, I would bring Charlotte’s Web, The Shack, and Note to Self. Those three books would ease my nerves of being stranded in the middle of nowhere.
