Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I try to retain some semblance of anonymity so I can’t disclose that much about myself/ourselves. I do understand how important it is for authors and readers to get to know one another, so I think somethings should be put down.
I’m Kell, I love the outdoors, running, inclement weather, and as of this interview (early 2016) I’ve completed about six novels and have a considerable number of short stories and uncompleted projects that I’m readily completing and publishing one by one.
I would consider myself ambitious in my pursuit of providing excellent fiction for discerning humans, I understand I can’t please everyone, but I’ll certainly work hard to write gobs of lovely stories, many of which I’ll simply give away, and others I’ll ask pocket change for- that’s the current plan, and is subject to change.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is the fifth episode of the Nocturna League series, called “The Black Eye”. It’s going to be NL’s very first novel-length episode, and I’ve gotten 6.5k words into it. I’m certain it will be a challenge to make 80k words of entertainment with all I have going on in my day to day life, but I’ve done it before, so I’ll do it again.
It was inspired partially by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Pirates of the Caribbean, and my own works by relation.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I sacrifice one million virgin souls to my volcano god so that I will be blessed with the attention span to write another chapter. One could understand that as the books get longer the sacrifices become more costly, so offer yourself up today!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve never been a fan of this question, frankly.
Lots and lots of people, places and things have influenced me. If I were to drop a name though, I’d say Stephen King and J.R.R. Tolkien are some of the biggest criminals.
What are you working on now?
Please see above.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My best method is simply writing the next book. Nothing promotes my new work and my previous work better.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Reading another author’s interview is no excuse for procrastination. I know what you’re doing. Now get back to work.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Not sure yet.
What are you reading now?
Terry Pratchett- a good humor on that guy, may he rest in peace.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Writing more stuff.
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?
Lord of the Rings (as it was supposed to be just one book) And three guides on island survival.
