Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have one collection of poetry published, one fantasy novel finishing the final stages of editing, and its sequel and following novels are in production.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Zubare: Liberation is inspired by a tabletop RPGS game I played with my brother and friend set in my fictional world. The story took many exciting twists and turns, even an ending I didn’t expect either! It was so fun to write and play that I just had to write it all down and share it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think it’s unusual, but I like to let the ideas come to me naturally. Sometimes I’ll be in the middle of a task and stop to write something down.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A lot of different fantasy books have influenced me, most notably the Hobbit, the Charlie Bone series, Shogun, and Arthur by Kevin Crossley-Holland.
What are you working on now?
Zubare: Liberation, which is in the final stages of editing. After that I’ll work on its direct sequel and then another novel that occurs 5 years after.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social media has helped, as well as getting shootouts on blogs and radio shows.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing, even if it’s using the apostrophe in a text. Hone your skill and keep trying. It’ll happen.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’s always the time to act, you must simply choose to.
What are you reading now?
Merlin by T.A. Baron
What’s next for you as a writer?
More fantasy novels.
