Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Georgia State University Student that has always held a love for reading and writing.
With inspirations from various genres of literature, I plan to create depth in my books that will reach almost any reader on a personal level.
Aside from novels, I love to read and, write poetry. I release authentic poetry on my social media accounts daily on everyday life subjects ; ranging from coming of age, love, hope, success, and all things in between.
I have written two books so far but, I currently have one published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my newly published book is We See What We Want. It was inspired by a security company that I worked for that was completely unorganized. I worked the 3rd shift over night for the company and, one night while at work my imagination ran rampant . Add to the fact that there were always homeless people near the building and that is how We See What We Want was conceived.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write better when it rains. That may be common but, the rain is so soothing and relaxing It forces me to stay home and write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, as well as Stephen King, I loved R.L Stine growing up. I also love Wahidah Clark, Zane, and a lot of Urban authors. That is what I mean by I am well read in all genres so I plan to mix all of them in my writing to keep things interesting.
What are you working on now?
I am working on the follow up to We See What We Want.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I promote on social media accounts as a new author I am still learning about promoting platforms.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. Write. Write. If you love doing it, just do it. Worry about the particulars later because sometime we get so caught up in the particulars it stifles us. Thinking about marketing, what if nobody likes it? what if it doesn’t sell? and all the extras will make you not want to write and, doubt your abilities but, whether it sells ten copies or millions you wont know if you don’t take a chance on yourself.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Just Keep Swimming” Dory is so very wise.
What are you reading now?
A lot of books on Marketing mostly.
What’s next for you as a writer?
A book of poetry definitely. I love poetry.
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?
