What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Dear Love, Are you Dead? was written with no proper intention to get it published. I started writing a few chapters to gift it to my girlfriend Merlyn on her birthday last year and eventually ended up getting it published after realizing that the manuscript was too good a thing to be kept in the dark. A few TV shows like Vampire Diaries and Originals inspired me to write a supernatural thriller of my own and I hope I did justice to those shows.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Whenever I gather ideas, I lock them inside my head and use them at appropriate places in my book. I believe most writers do the same, but how I stand different from them is that the ideas that I gather aren’t just from the books. Most of the ideas that I end up gathering are from real life conversations, which I had or some of the real life incidents which would have fascinated me to a massive extent.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I loved the novel “Before I wake” I thought it was a fascinating novel. I enjoyed every page of it. It pushed me to write something of my own by planting plenty of ideas into my head. I also love the Saw movie series which I believe is a spine chilling set of movies. A few scenes of the book Dear Love, Are you Dead? were inspired by that series.
What are you working on now?
The second book of the Dear Love, Are you Dead? is being written right now. I have promised the fans that the second part will be a much thrilling and much darker than the first book. Hence I am not in any rush to complete the book. I am writing it patiently to make sure that the fans get the best entertainment possible from the book.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Reviews. Professional reviews can be a big time game changer. My book’s sales went from good to great after C.L Taylor and Washington times were kind enough to review my book and post those reviews in the amazon.com page of my book. Contesting in competitions and winning will also increase the visibility of the book and can be a big difference.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I have said it before and I will say it again. Write to learn. Not to earn.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I have got so far is by C.L Taylor. She asked me to be patient in writing. Usually I have the habit of finishing a manuscript in a month or two, but she told me that rushing up will end up exhausting me someday and will eventually lead to a huge loss of creative ideas in my head. I took her advice and I am writing very little these days with a fresh state of mind and its doing wonders by getting the best out of me.
What are you reading now?
The Twelve by Justin Cronin.
What’s next for you as a writer?
My second book will be out in January and my goal is to cut down the prices of my book as most of the fans thought that the first book was a bit too costly for the poor people. I want the second book to be affordable to all types of people and hence the book I am working on a deal with a few publishers to get it sold for less than 5 dollars in all formats.
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?
The Passage., Before I wake, American Gods and The twelve
