Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started writing when i was eight to escape my rough childhood. I experimented with different genres like adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, crime and erotica.
Several of my stories have been published both in English and Arabic (I’m half Egyptian) in anthologies such as The Monkey Collection. I also have stories on short-story.me
My first full-length paranormal romance The Goddess and the Golden Sunflower can be found on wattpad and ficfun. It got more than 95000 reads in one month and was on the top of HOT charts for weeks.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Her Majesty’s Harem.
It’s a reverse harem erotica and the first of a series.
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of sexual liberation for women, the idea of us having sex whenever, wherever, and the fact that the notion isn’t exclusive to men. Women, too, can experience that kind of liberation. That’s the main concept behind Her Majesty’s Harem.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I never drink coffee, if you can believe that, and I prefer to write my story on paper first, with blue pens, and then transfer it on my computer. Also, I only write at night. I’m definitely not a morning person.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Hundreds. It’ll be hard to list them.
In YA, I’m a huge fan of Twilight and The Hunger Games. In Romance, I love my mentor Deanna Birch. In Erotica, I love dark things, so Sansa Rayne. My favorite book of all times is Anna Karenina.
What are you working on now?
Book 2 in the Royal Harem series.
A YA contemporary with romantic elements and diverse characters.
A dark erotica (bloody one!)
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The best method is word of mouth. I ask my beta readers to list my stuff on Goodreads or rate and review either there or on amazon.
Social networking help, too. I’m only active on Twitter, though.
Interviews such as these are awesome 🙂
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I’m not in a place to give advice, but I’d tell them to enjoy themselves, read a lot, never stop writing, and don’t expect too much and remember to enjoy the other aspects of their lives.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Read People and treat them for who they really are.
What are you reading now?
All the Bright Places, a YA
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?
