Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a medieval fantasy author. So far, I’ve written four books, but only one has been published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Knights of the Dawn, hitting the market in late 2016. My research into the Middle Ages has inspired this one.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to get really baked when I write, and I often blast heavy metal when I’m writing an action scene.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I know this is a cliche now, but GRRM is my fav!
What are you working on now?
I am working on Sir Eveland’s Medieverse and Gods of the Grotto. Both are fantasy series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far I must say Facebook because I haven’t tried out many others yet. My method is messaging my friends. In a few years my answer to this question will be completely different, I’m sure. I’ve just had no reason to promote heavily yet. I don’t have enough material for sale. But that’s changing rapidly.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t release your material until you’re sure it’s ready. If you spent a long time writing a masterpiece, don’t throw it out there with out giving it time to settle in your mind. Come back to it after a few months and edit again before you release it. I wish I did that with Kings on the Mountain. Now I’m rewriting the book because it doesn’t meet my standards. It met my standards when I was a noobie, but not any more.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Only take advice from people who are where you want to be.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. I don’t like it nearly as much as A Game of Thrones, but it’s alright, More fore nineteen year olds.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan to publish 30 books/short stories before I’m 30 years old. I’m 25 years old today, and only have three short stories out, so that should tell you how much I’ve been writing lately. I aim for 7,000 words a week minimum to reach my goal.
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 Bible (I’m not a Christian but that’s still a good book to keep your mind occupied), the largest dictionary in the world, and three other blank books so I can write my own books.
