What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
1.Simple Theory of Physics
2. I Promise Will Meet Again Paperback – 2016
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I try to write novels that are fundamentally different experiences for the reader, which is why they don’t fit neatly into any single genre or category. You could say my style, regardless of milieu (historical to futuristic), attempts to be at once tense, touching, ironic, tragic, funny, and deep, with many conflicting ideas playing out—and myriad twists, turns and surprises. Lots of surprises.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
1. A Brief History of Time – Stephen Hawking
2. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory
by Albert Einstein
3.I Too Had A Love Story.. by Ravinder Singh
What are you working on now?
1. one love one girl(romantic true love story)
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
1.I’m also a fan of Facebook – I love the way it brings so many people and so many ideas together in one place.
2.Don’t give up. It took me years of rewriting and agent-searching, but it finally clicked. They say write what you know, but don’t take that too literally. What one “knows” is not only personal, but also what a person has learned, studied or finds interesting. In my case, it’s history. Still, it’s all personal in a sense.
3. I’d say Goodreads, since it fosters communication among readers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It took me years of rewriting and agent-searching, but it finally clicked. They say write what you know, but don’t take that too literally. What one “knows” is not only personal, but also what a person has learned, studied or finds interesting.
2.Write, write, write. And if you don’t want to write, give up now! Truly, this is one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it’s also one of the most worthwhile.
3. Just write. Don’t listen to what others say or that voice in your head that says you can’t do it. Just move your fingers across the keyboard and write whatever is in your head. Some of it won’t be good, but that’s okay. Because some of it will be amazing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t give up.
What are you reading now?
I’m re-reading As I Lay Dying.
What’s next for you as a writer?
1. my love my physics (physics knowledge for student and general readers)
More books! I have two written. Hoping by this time next year to have two more done. It’s an exciting time to be a novelist.
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?
1.The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
2.Love You Forever: Robert Munsch Sheila McGra
3. The Da Vinci Code
