Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My novel Miss.Direction is my debut fiction, yet I have written a poetry book and also published a photography book before.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is Miss.Direction, and since it is a fictionalized autobiography, it was inspired by certain people and events from my past.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I work in stacks, although that is not a healthy habit. I can write for about 10-12 hours a day, if not more, for about a month, and write up to 100,000 words in that time. Preferably in an environment where I will not be disturbed. This scenario has only happened to me once. Otherwise, for my next book projects, I am trying to find a healthier life/work balance, start early in the morning, and use the Pomodoro technique to help me focus.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are so many. At the heart of my first novel are Haruki Murakami Norwegian Wood and Stephen King On Writing – A memoir of the craft – and these two remarkable works are woven into the fabric of my characters.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a Dungeons and Dragons adventure book as well as outlining a sci-fi dystopian novel.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am relying on KDP/Amazon and GoodReads and hopefully, the awesomegang will be helpful as well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you can afford it, get yourself someone to do the marketing of your book. It is not an easy feat.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Believe in yourself.
What are you reading now?
George Mann, Warlock Holmes. Jack Kerouac On the road (reading it again) Murakami, Kafka on the shore.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully, a lot more books.
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?
Murakami, Norwegian Wood
Stephen King, The Stand
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of the Being
Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett – Good Omens
