Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Maria and I am a librarian. I live in Greece. I have published my first book-part of a series-and I am in the process of writing the others.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is my first book. I was inspired by “The Mortal Instruments” by Cassandra Clare.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I stare at the ceiling if I am having a writer’s block but shh!! Don’t tell anyone.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Many authors and books have influenced me but I am going to name two authors. The first is J.K.Rowling who taught me to love books. The second, Cassandra Clare who inspired my own series.
What are you working on now?
The second volume of “The cursed girl.”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think a good tool is facebook pages and YouTube but also reviews. Reviews show how people react to a book. But I don’t know very much about the subject since I am just starting my writing journey.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write, write, write. Even if you think it’s pointless. You might see a mountain in front of you but you will soon see the exit. A thousand authors before you succeeded, why not you?
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’s not advice as much as a reaction. One of my beta readers told me excited that she loved my book and asked me if it was not a movie. I was so happy I almost cried.
What are you reading now?
I just finished “Once upon a time…upon a time” by P.A. Elliott
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to publish the rest of “the cursed girl” series and embark on my next adventure.
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?
That’s is the most difficult question someone can ask a reader. I have no idea. Are you sure I can’t bring the whole bookcase with me?
