Interview With Author Lincoln Hartlaub
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Lincoln Hartlaub! I’m a teen author who wrote The Novus and am working on the sequel, and of course I have many ideas for future novels!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest novel is called “The Novus.” I was inspired to write it while I was uninspired during virtual learning during COVID-19. I decided to use my time wisely, so I created a book idea and made it happen!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
An unusual writing habit of mine is that I barely ever back up my work. My computer is old and slow as well, so who knows? I know one day I’ll regret it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Suzanne Collin’s Hunger Games series inflicted the wonderful world of Dystopian novels into my life.
What are you working on now?
Currently, I’m working on writing the sequel to The Novus, which I believe will be even better than the original.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still early on in the process of marketing since this is my first book, however, networking and building connections seems to be the most effective way to sell.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Make sure that while your marketing, you are doing everything you possibly can to promote your book, otherwise you have no excuse for its lack of sales.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Write what should not be forgotten.” That was from Isabel Andelle.
What are you reading now?
Currently, I’m reading “All Rights Reserved.” Its a dystopian novel with an interesting twist. Check it out!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I need to focus on perfecting my writing craft and routine so I can bring all my ideas to fruition. Life is too short to waste it not writing!
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?
Personally, I would bring the entire Hunger Games trilogy along with the prequel book. I’ve read them many times at this point!
