Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a newly graduated dentist. I love training and writing in my free time. I’ve written 3 books, and currently working on my fourth. I’ve participated in two writing competitions as well.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Little Life. It was inspired by a TV series called ‘Bates Motel’.
The idea of the book however creeped up on me as I was drifting off to sleep one day.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No. I like writing novels mostly, but I write in my journal occasionally.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King
Sophia Kinsella
What are you working on now?
The Mind of Abby McDonald
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I usually use Wattpad to write.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing even when you feel uninspired. The best writing comes to you when you least expect it. For me, sometimes I think I don’t have many ideas but as soon as I hold a pen (or a keyboard), words and ideas just start flowing from me.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice is probably in the form of a quote a read by E. L. Doctorow
“Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.”
What are you reading now?
The Naked Face by Sidney Sheldon.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m working on promoting my most recent book and hopefully continuing in the journey of writing other exciting novels.
