Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written (and just published) 2 books actually. I couldn’t choose between the two so I released them both on the same day. As for me, I am a piscean person, born in 1992. I’m an adventurer, musician, YouTuber, day-dreamer, bookworm and tea addict.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I have two, like I said, and they fall on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Resfeber is a travel memoir I wrote after running away from my problems didn’t really help and I figured maybe writing would. It’s about love and loss and love again. There were many things that inspired it; pain, romance, adventure, failures, happiness…
The Fifth Warrior is an urban fantasy story that I started writing almost ten years ago. It was initially inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I talk to myself when I write. I do this often. Sometimes I shout at myself too. I also have a tendency to talk to the inanimate objects around me. Fortunately, they don’t talk back. That would be cause for concern!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Far too many to list here.
What are you working on now?
Absolutely nothing. I just released two books at the same time. A girl deserves a break!
That said, once I have recovered from the absolute nightmare that is first time self-publishing, I’ll be back for round two, with The Knights of Nyroden (picking up where The Fifth Warrior left off).
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Bah! I am unfit and unqualified to answer this question. I am absolutely useless when it comes to self-promotion. It’s actually quite embarrassing.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
No. I am a new author. Y’all should be giving me advice!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
None that I can recall. That should tell you a whole lot about my attention span/ memory.
What are you reading now?
Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice. I must admit, I don’t love it.
What’s next for you as a writer?
WORLD DOMINATION!
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!
I am not kidding.
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?
– A book on how to survive when you are stranded on a desert island
– A book on how to get yourself off of a desert island
– A journal (on condition that it comes with a pen/ pencil of course)
– The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
