Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am 20 years old, and I live in Upstate, New York. This is my first book. I learned a lot from writing it with my editor helping me. I still have a lot to learn, yet. I’m even starting college soon!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Art of Death: Love and War. It’s part of what a like to call a “half anthology” series. Meaning, it is an anthology. Many different books will have different characters. But what I mean about it being half anthology is that some of the books will have a certain character’s side-story. Some will have sequels to a character’s story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I use “Literally” a lot.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King, George Orwell, and Edgar Allan Poe. One of my favorite books is “The Shining,” and “1984,” and many different horror and dystopian books.
What are you working on now?
I will be working on a side story for a certain character that was in this book. 😉 It will be a novella.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Since I am new to the self -publishing world, I have no idea what I will use yet, but I certainly will find out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I say go ahead and do it, just start writing. It can seem overwhelming at first with trying to get published, or even self-publishing, because you have no idea how it will work out. But you’ll never know unless you try. Even if you fail, get back up and try again.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
What are you reading now?
A book by Dean Koontz, called “Odd Thomas.” It’s very interesting. I recommend it!
What’s next for you as a writer?
Write the next novel. Also, me and my friends have an idea for a high fantasy book.
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?
“1984” by George Orwell, “The Shining”, by Stephen King, “The Stand,” by Stephen King. And hell, why not The Bible aswell?
