Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a writer based in Brooklyn. I’ve written two books with a third on the way. My debut novel is, “The Sorry Tale of Mr. Khan” and “The Mistaken Path” is my second one. It’s actually out right now.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest novel is, “The Mistaken Path” and it was written when I was a young teenager. It took me two years to write, from ages 12-14. Nothing in particular inspired it, but I was influenced by television and what was one tv and movies at the time.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to listen to music while writing and it seeps into my subconscious a lot. That’s about as quirky as it gets.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m definitely influenced by Thomas Hardy. I read, “Jude the Obscure” and was blown away. I was amazed at how he was able to write about women in the way he did. He did them justice. I had no idea how they longed for freedom back in those days.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on my third novel called, “For the Love of Lisa.” It’s a modern story about a woman looking for love and living in the big city.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I don’t have one yet, but this site seems to be very author friendly.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Promotion is key to your success.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do what you love and let it kill you.
What are you reading now?
A biography of Tom Jones
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to make, “For the Love of Lisa” as a three part series. I want to see where my character goes and what she goes through.
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?
“Eva Luna”, “Complete serial killer guide”, “Jude the Obscure”, and the fourth, I’m not sure.
