Interview With Author Rowella Michaels
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an accountant who has been in love with reading fiction books for as long as I can remember. Reading the great works of my favorite authors inspired me to create ones as well. It enabled me to give life to my imagination through writing. I have written some books under different pen names, most of which under the genre of romance and fantasy.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest work is Blood of Immortals. It is the first book in The Romance of Gods and Demons Series. My inspiration came from a friend of mine who had undergone a heartbreak. She was cheated by her boyfriend. She went through depression but through the help of her friends and family, she was able to recover. Later on, he wanted to reconcile with her. He gave a lot of explanation but she was having none of it. She loves herself now more than ever. She said that he already got his chance and he wasted it. He was never getting another one.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t have any unusual writing habits.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I think one of the books that have great impact on me was The Lonely God. It was really well written and I could feel the emotions behind the characters. It is a great book!
What are you working on now?
I am working on the Heart of Immortals, the second book of The Romance of Gods and Demons series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think Awesome Gang is one of the best website to promote my books. It gives me and my books a lot of exposure to a huge audience. It is definitely an awesome platform!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just like you, I am still at the beginning of my career, so my advise for you is also for myself. Just keep the passion burning. Give your best shot in whatever you’re working on. Your hard work will eventually pay off.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do not let fear defeat you.
Before I started this journey, I had lots of doubts in my mind. What if no one reads my work? What if they don’t like it? What if? A lot of what ifs. Then one time, I shared these fears to my friends. I was already an accountant by then. One of them said, if this is what your heart really desires, don’t let fear defeat you. You will never know what will happen unless you try it, So, I did and now I am here.
What are you reading now?
I am reading Catching Genesis. It is about a wolf rejected by her mate. It turns out she was destined for someone else. It’s a good one!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I wanted to finish the series of books. There will be four books in total.
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 want to bring the Body Double, The Bastard Princess, The Girl He Never Noticed and Bait. They are from different genre but they are all good. I wouldn’t definitely be bored in the island.
