Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written 3 books so far. I am twenty four years old, and an Asian American.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Malevolent Twin was created from one of my dreams. I always have some crazy horror dreams, and this one stuck. It is about twins. This book is for readers who like horror and suspense, with a focus on a young woman coming of age while facing long odds.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to drink rumchata whenever I write sometimes. Yes, I did make an A on term paper, buzzed off rumachata.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Robert A. Heinlein’s “I Will Fear No Evil” is one of my favorite books. I like his writing style, and the story. Reading “I Will Fear No Evil” improved my book immensely. I gained so much from reading the classic sci-fi.
What are you working on now?
I am working on “The Spine-Chilling Accommodation” and “The Malevolent Twin’s Retribution”. Hopefully, I will have them out by the end of the year.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I made a comment on Huffington Post once. Its free, and people do read the comments section on newspaper articles. I am not sure which website is the best for promoting your books, but if you use many. You should overcome the odds.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write as many books, as you can! Spend your advertising budget wisely. Use www.ebooklaunch.com for all formatting, and cover design needs!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be all that you can be and never give up!
What are you reading now?
The Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling
What’s next for you as a writer?
I will be publishing “The Spine-Chilling Accommodation” and “The Malevolent Twin’s Retribution” soon.
