Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m not a professional author – yet. For the time being, writing is just a hobby career. My genre is spiritual fiction. I have written many books, but only one has been (self)published: ‘God Child’, Part 1, The Grand Awakening. This is the first book of a tetralogy.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is God Child, Part 1, The Grand Awakening. It was inspired by monohumanism, the idea that there is only one human. The concept of monohumanism is not new, every spiritual tradition has born witness to it in one way or another. However, monohumanism is by no means mainstream knowledge, it’s not part of people’s common sense, and that’s what I’m hoping to change.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Hmm … let me think. I like to write while standing up, not sure if that is unusual. I don’t write regularly. I work on a particular project and drop it until something inside irks me to pick it up again. I follow the secret rhythm of my subconsciousness. Maybe this is unusual: I write very efficiently while going for a walk. Well, I’m not really writing, but whole chapters emerge while strolling in the park.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I owe all my wisdom to Dr. Paul Foster Case and Dr. Ann Davis. I’m also indebted to Jeff Benner and his mechanical translation of the Torah. Besides that I love to read Carlos Castaneda’s books, which remain inspiring even after having read them for the third time. I should mention the Celestine Prophecies too – one of the best books in the genre of spiritual fiction. Last but not least, I favor Paolo Coelho, although his books are more on the entertaining side of spirituality.
What are you working on now?
I am working on two books right now. The first is the second part of the God Child tetralogy. The subtitle is ‘Dragonslayer’. It’s all about the most human affair: the illusion of evil. The second is a screenplay: ‘The Door’. This is a drama that plays in the afterlife.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I engage on Twitter, Facebook, and Goodreads, but I’m new to the game, so, I cannot really recommend methods yet.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write with love. Ignore fame and wealth, just write with love and the rest will fall in place.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Follow that single, quiet voice inside.
What are you reading now?
Jonathan Livingstone
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to rewrite the Genesis and Jesus Christ’s story to boost religious common sense.
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?
My pack of Tarot cards – yes it’s a book if you know how to read it :-)). I’d also take the ‘The True and Invisible Rosicrucian Order’ and the ‘Book of Tokens’ from Dr. Paul Foster Case. And last but not least the mechanical translation of the Torah to continue my archeological research of ancient spirituality.
