Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a new author and have just completed my first book called the Mind Bender – Easy
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Mind Bender. I got the idea for this book while I was having lunch with my University Professor. I was met him at town and we decided to have a chat over lunch. As we were chatting about space and human intelligence, I got hit with an idea. I thought to myself: “What if I wrote a book that will challenge a reader to think outside the box.” That’s what I did. I went home, got some pieces of blank paper and started writing down my ideas. Four weeks later, I had written a book called Mind Benders. A book that will force its readers to think.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Normally, I do not write stories or novels. I prefer to turn stories into games, an interactive challenge or into a puzzle. I developed this habit as a kid, when I used to make find the treasure games for my little brother and friends.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Personally i enjoyed Enrid Blyton’s books as a kid. I still read those books with my younger cousins. Apart from that I enjoy the Harry Potter series, The Science Book, and basically all books that is associated with science or magic.
What are you working on now?
Currently I am making the next book in the Mind Bender Series. It will be more challenging to solve than the current one.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Payhip for my ebook, since I use canva to design my books, I can only download my book in pdf format. However, if I try to change the pdf to a word format, it ruins the aesthetics of the book design.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not give up. Writing a book takes a lot of patience. Be patient. Let the ideas flow.
