Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Raleigh Daniels Jr and I am 20 years old. I have written stories ever since I was nine; I was born with Asperger’s Syndrome, a condition to which I have a social disability. I have written a total of three books (two unpublished and one published). I love creating heroes based on mythical legends and adding unique spins to them.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book, The God of Alpha is my first book in a series, and one to be published. I have always loved werewolves and vampires as well as history. I have and love history – especially in the 1920s. We were taught that that the 20s were a perfect time for prosperity and optimism however this was not the case with everyone.
This book shares my experience with racism and me overcoming it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I listen to music (instrumental) when I write, as well as eating sugary treats as well as walking all over the place.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Avatar Chronicles series by Connor Kostic
What are you working on now?
My second book, “Season of the Zeta”. It’s a direct sequel to The God of Alpha.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Wattpad. I feel that its an early start for those who want to generate an audience.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I have been told that patience and hard work go hand in hand with one another. However my advice, writing is the easy part.
Promoting is the hard part, but don’t let that slow you down. You need to keep promoting in order for you to have your books noticed. Keep doing that and then eventually you will see your book on number 1 on the Amazon Best Seller List.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Patience is an author’s best friend.
What are you reading now?
Emperor’s Blade by Brian Staveley
What’s next for you as a writer?
I don’t know, I’m just gonna let life show me clues.
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?
Emperor’s Blade
and the books Epic and Edda by Connor Kostic
