Interview With Author Logan Rodgers
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Navy veteran from Texas who has a love for anything that falls under horror. I never really knew what I wanted to do until I found writing. Even if it never blows up it is still something I will be doing for a long time. As of now I have written one book and I’m starting another one.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
When the Sky Fell. I have always loved post apocalyptic books and movies but I always hate how the main characters are always ex special forces or was a cop when the end of the world happened. They are always painted as invincible. I decided to change that and have the main character be an everyday person that would would expect to be in an apocalypse along with a story I think would fit well in this competitive genre.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I mainly just write as I go. When I wrote my first book I only planned out two scenes all of the other scenes I wrote what I figured would happen. I know this is a common way of writing but I just think it’s cool to be able to write that way.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King is and will probably always be my favorite. I’m always intrigued by his work.
What are you working on now?
A paranormal book about a character who takes an overnight job working as a janitor in a hospital that was a former psychiatric hospital that closed down for how patients were treated.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far Reddit and TikTok have been the best.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It’s hard to do but don’t give up. When I first looked up things about writing a book the numbers shocked me. Less than 3 percent of the worlds population starts writing a book of that 3 percent 1 percent actually finished writing a book. There will be times when the writing is hard but it’s worth it to stick it out to the end. Wether you choose to do traditional or self publishing each has it’s own beasts. But just stick it through and even if you only ever have one reader you still became an author that at least one person liked and decided to pick up your book.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’s used a lot but honestly it would be “Follow your dreams” I know i’ve only written one book so far and I haven’t been able to do much with it yet but I still did something. I made and published my book. I thought about quitting but I didn’t.
What are you reading now?
Right now I’m reading Stephen Kings “The Long Walk.”
What’s next for you as a writer?
To finish my next book “OR 3”
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?
IT, Fairy Tale, The Shining, The Green Mile. All have been some of my favorites.
