Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a normal man like everyone else. But I am pampered. I have visual memory and can learn things only by watching. I am self-taught. I learned construction, drawing, boxing and many other things. Funny thing, I hated reading as a kid, and I became a writer. I learned to write a novel by reading books, analyzing the structure, and doing the same thing again using my ideas.
What is rare for a person is either the person is more intellectual or he is more manual. Fortunately, I am able to use both sides of my brain: the artistic side, and the manual side. I like to play sports. I love to build with my hands, houses or objects. I love real estate as you can tell from my books.
I also like to help people. So by writing educational books I can help a lot more people.
I wrote 8 books. 6 fantasy novels in my first language, and 2 educational books in English.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is: How a 17-year-old can do house flipping without losing money. I found inspiration for this book because I love to manage, invest money. And I find it essential that young people today learn to manage their money and not go into debt. The younger you start, the more money you’ll make in the future. And by becoming a young entrepreneur, you will gain financial freedom much faster. So here’s my inspiration.
