Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a twelve-year-old author and have recently published my first novel, The Black Sisterhood Files. I am particularly engrossed in writing, reading, quantum mechanics, and engaging in political debates. Before quarantine, I traveled to Williamsburg for a conference where my speech won an award and was sent to the United Nations.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Black Sisterhood Files was fabricated by motivations that arouse within me from a perennial love for uncanny stories and murder mysteries. I would be beyond grateful if readers could check it out and help buttress my aspiring career.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, whenever I write, I tend to douse myself in sheer solidity and silence; no music, no people, not even the merest slivers of noise or distractions. Although this is quite common, I get extremely aggravated when perturbed during my writing. Furthermore, I enjoy writing in nature, for its ethereally manifested essences serve as the prominent inspirations for me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King serves as a great inspiration and influencer for me. I am absolutely amazed by the creativity of his mind which he so gracefully implements into writing. I am currently reading “If It Bleeds”, a book whose phenomena is unfathomable. Edgar Allan Poe is a poet and writer whose works and psyche I find to be ever so empowering and uniquely lovely.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the promotion of my crime fiction novel, The Black Sisterhood Files. It is available as an eBook and paperback at: amazon.com/author/kristinanaydonova
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have created a community of fans through disparate social media sites, cardinally Instagram. Additionally, I am active on GoodReads and engage with authors and readers all across the world.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Although this is a well-worn statement, I encourage new authors to never give up, despite the inevitable obstacles they shall encounter along the course of their venture.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today, I am wise, so I want to change myself.” After perceiving this advice, I realized that modification to individual persons is an immediate tweak to all dominions of known reality.
What are you reading now?
“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have recently gotten in contact with Arianna Huffington, co-founder of HuffPost and CEO of ThriveGlobal, who offered me a position to write for Thrive as a contributor. I am currently in the process of creating my first article, a piece that follows my ultimate theme “Thriving While Thinking”. Furthermore, I will appear as a guest on The Authors Show soon.
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?
“Around The World In Eighty Days” by Jules Verne, “A Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking, “It” by Stephen King, and “Black for the Baron” by John Creasey.
