Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am new to the writing scene and don’t know much about it. That is why I am hoping that through this site and many other marketing techniques, I learn how things work so I could be more professional with how I can disseminate the message I want to convey while not breaking too many hearts with my brutal honesty. That being said, this is the first book I’ve ever written so cold-blooded, merciless critiques are welcomed. Knock me down a few pegs if you think you can.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Graduation
This book was inspired by the experiences and lessons I had to learn about hard work. Thinking that something is going to be easy and success will happen overnight will severely damage yourself in more ways than one, I had to learn that the hard way.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know if it is unusual, again speaking from inexperience, but I write a minimum of two poems and on short story a day if I can’t work on the next novel.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Bukowski is definitely the biggest influence on my writing. Hemingway and Ellis played a big role as well. I admire the concept of preserving knowledge for the select few willing to learn it in Fahrenheit 451.
What are you working on now?
A novel about what it is like to slave for someone in a higher position than oneself and the experiences that are the product of such a barbaric lifestyle.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Not that many besides this one, but I trust that in the future rainfall will become a full on thunderstorm and the list will be boundless.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Follow your heart and you will never be guided down the wrong path.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Discipline is the bridge to success.
What are you reading now?
Benjamin Franklin biography.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Long journey of improving my writing style to mastery to an extent to be deemed the greatest writer who ever lived.
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?
Mastery by Robert Greene, Women by Bukowski, Freedom by Osho and Higher Status by Jason Capital
