Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Well, I am 23 years old, Georgian by nationality , but have been living in Greece for the last 8 years. I finished my education here after adapting and learning language at the best of my abilities in a year. Right now I am holding Bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy and am planning on continuing my studies. Since I have always loved writing I wanted to try writing a book, and did so whilst studying for my final years exams. Surprisingly it helped me unwind and relax and got me through the exams with excellent results. This is my first book and it’s named the ” Rahena”. It’s in the process of being published as of yet.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The love for mythology gave me the ideas for the book . It had always been my favorite subject along with History.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
If I start writing, I forget food , sleep. I don’t even change position . I can write for hours without stopping.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have read a lot of books, I found them all inspiring since all of them had an element that made the whole book what it was.
What are you working on now?
The next installation for the ” Rahena”.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well I am starting just now, I hope fellow writers will help me out since I am in the dark for the most part. On the other hand I will do my best and won’t wait for the success to come to me. Hard work always pays off in the end, in my opinion.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Since I am as new as it gets, I would advice them to never give up on a book. Work on it, develop it but never give up if it’s your dream. Dreams are to be achieved , not for them to be lost and forgotten.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
From my mother. ” You make yourself. Plan for everything, and never lose confidence, even bleakest of times. ”

” The Island ”, by Victoria Hislop.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to develop more as a writer, and offer the best to those who love reading and books as much as I do.
