Interview With Author Niki Norlock
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an explorer by nature, I am like a little kid whenever I am able to go somewhere new. People and their stories fascinate me. I am currently living in Mexico, traveling around on motorcycles filming it. I have written 3 complete books so far, 2 were published but we pulled one because it will come much later in the series I am working on. I am currently working on the 4 books that will complete the ‘Truth’ series. Fun fact, I handwrite all of my books then transcribe later for editing.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The book I have currently published is called ‘Truth – My Synchromystic Journey’ and it was inspired by a spirit led Journey to the Philippines. The experience changed my life completely and we actually ended up producing full feature documentary (filmed in the Philippines) called ‘Beyond Strength’ that was inspired by the experiences documented in the book.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I hand write all my books, I prefer to write in public places like restaurants. I spew when I write, I just allow the words to flow, and worry about the editing later. I rarely know what I will be writing about until I actually start writing. Nothing I write is planned out ahead of time.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My favorite author is J.R. Tolkien… but my greatest influence for my wiritng came from the subscription to National Geographic magazine as a young girl.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the last 4 books to the ‘Truth’ series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write. Don’t let your self doubt mess with your mind… just write and see what magic unfolds.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Get Happy!!!
What are you reading now?
Dragon Lance series
What’s next for you as a writer?
Well, finishing the series will take some time, but I am expecting to be doing a lot of traveling and creating mini-docus along the way.
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 Habit – The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
