Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Tina Wittendorff Mortensen. I originally come from Denmark, but I’ve lived in four different countries. Currently, I’m living in France where I’m working as an English teacher and attending a lot of cultural activities to broaden my horizon.
I’ve written two books and three short stories – with three more books on the way in my Soulwanderer series. The first book is only published in Danish in Denmark.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, Soulwanderer, is the first book in my fantasy series by the same name. It’s inspired by strange things I’ve dreamt about at night. Yes, I dream a lot, and it often wakes me up! Every time I’d had a dream, I’d write it down, and suddenly, the idea for Soulwanderer was there.
I have also recently published three short stories which are free on Amazon on the 15th of each month:
The Amulet of the last Earth ghosts.
The Rings of the last Earth ghosts.
The Crystal of the last Earth ghosts.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like writing in bed. I’m not sure if that’s an unusual habit. I just find it cozy.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve mostly been influenced by the things I dream of and not so much by a specific book, but I do read a lot of fantasy books.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the next three books in the Soulwanderer series. The second one is currently being edited. Also, I’m working with a narrator on the audiobook version of Soulwanderer.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think Goodreads is amazing. You can find everything in there!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Edit your work! No one likes slobby writing. Also, choose your reviewers carefully; find your target group. Not everyone will like your book but as authors, we’d really like some good reviews. Only your target group can give you that.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t force yourself to write – do it when it feels natural to you!
What are you reading now?
I’m currently reading Saving an Earth Angel by N.L. McFarlane.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I will be pretty busy finishing the Soulwanderer series over the next couple of years.
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: Twilight Missing Pieces (fanfiction).
2: The Lord of the Rings.
3: The Earth Angel series.
