Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Nicholi (N A K Baldron) is an author and an avid reader. Stories that take place in fictional worlds, with memorable characters, make his heart race like nothing else.
He spends his days debating between whether it’s coffee or tea time and pecking away at his keyboard to produce stories for his readers. Otherwise, he can be found strolling through one of the many wooded areas in the small town outside Austin, Texas that he calls home.
Knowing how precious reading time is, he’s always honored when his readers spend their time on his stories when there are so many to choose from.
I’ve written several books, but Orphan’s Price is the first I’m confident enough in, to publish with pride.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Orphan’s Price, and most likely Harry Potter combined with an endless sea of Fantasy I’ve read since I was in the 6th grade. I’m a product of my generation, Harry Potter will always hold a special place in my heart. I love to read the series every year.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I format my manuscript for publication while writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Raymond E. Feist, Brandon Sanderson, J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, Scott Lynch, and so many more.
What are you working on now?
Sorcerer’s Trial book 3 in the Chronicles of the Seventh Realm series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Newsletter. I love being able to write directly to my fans. I suspect I’ll do well at book signings/live events when I start. I majored in communication in college, so I’m not afraid of public speaking.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Your right, it does suck.
However, if you keep at it you’ll be the best there is. Most authors make it because their peers drop out and quit writing, leaving only them standing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Being an author is no different than being a carpenter. Both are crafts, require humility, and suffer if you’re self deceptive.
What are you reading now?
The books of my weekly writers critique group, and several other fantasies.
What’s next for you as a writer?
A second series inside Chronicles of the Seventh Realm.
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?
The Name of the Wind,
IT,
Rise of a Merchant Prince,
and an encyclopedia on how to escape a desert island.
