Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Only one – the current title in promotion.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Its title is, How to Avoid Unplanned Pregnancy WITHOUT Using Contraceptive Drugs,
which I wrote only after learning about the women’s unnecessary suffering caused by the pharmaceutical, hormonal and other intrusive contraceptives. Otherwise, the persistent idea to do it came to mind nine years prior. I didn’t embrace it, because it was somewhat foreign to me, but part of me was saying that it’s only fair to let women know of something I learnt from another small book precisely when I was 16.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Once I get on with it I’m a pretty fast writer.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I was my own inspiration. Besides, hardly anybody writes on this useful topic. It’s practically unknown that one can avoid unplanned pregnancy whenever they choose to without harming themselves.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on an English Pronunciation Manual, The Method, specifically developed for Spanish speakers, during my work with them over a number of years.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Haven’t found one yet, not because there isn’t one, but because I’ve just started to promote my titles.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Get on with writing as soon as you get an idea. Soon more will start flying out of your head. If you’ve got one in the first place, chances are you have something to say to the world.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To never give up!
What are you reading now?
Anthony William’s book ‘Liver Rescue’.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m not taking myself seriously ‘as a writer’. I’m just having fun with it, which will increase with the book I want to write after I finish the English Pronunciation Manual. It will be about alternative, healthy, useful and practical ways of doing anything really, including alternative system for life on our hijacked planet. I regard ‘traditions’ as repetition of other generations’ mistakes.
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?
I would not bring any books but notepads to write my thoughts and experience in surviving on a desert island. I would also draw and enjoy the sounds of nature.
