Interview With Author Ryan Wan
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Lawyer by day, writer by night. Like many others, I struggle with work-life balance. And when I do, I might just bring out an idea or two. I’m a first-time, self-published writer. I’ve just published my very first book in mid-March, 2024.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Girls V Boys, an action / adventure / sci-fi / romance tale filled with games, puzzles, and three different endings. There were tons of inspirations for it. Mainly from Japanese anime and manga.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to procrastinate. Which is something I really need off my back.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
To name a few-
1. the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
2. the Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine
3. the Mr Midnight series by James Lee
4. the Eve series by Hjalti Danielsson
For my book-
1. Teasing Master Takagi-san by Soichiro Yamamoto
2. Uzaki Chan Wants To Hang Out by Take
3. Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro by Nanashi
What are you working on now?
A possible second, unrelated book. But (shhh), it’s a secret.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Via Facebook and Twitter ads. But, as of today, they have been unsuccessful.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes. Just keep writing!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Always manage my expectations.
What are you reading now?
The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten by Saekisan.
What’s next for you as a writer?
A possible second, unrelated book (Shhh, it’s still a secret).
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?
A perfect time to read the classics-
1. Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Dafoe
2. Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift
3. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
4. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
