Interview With Author Tristan Mowrey
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am soft at heart and like to think I am intellectual. I took a personality test and it said I was a thinker and that is very true when it came to writing books. I have now written three books and they are published on Amazon.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called About Alcohol: How the H3LL do I drink responsibly? It was inspired by my own struggles with judgment from others when drinking. This is a very forgiving and non condemning look into drinking that I believe everyone could benefit from, in order to live a more fulfilled life.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well all my bad habits I mentioned to my editor but my good habits would be my attention to detail and being completely honest in my books.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I can think of two, the first one being the Left Behind series, I tend to be a future global thinker so it was very interesting to me. The other one was the Passion translation of the bible. I was just amazed at how the use of different words can help us understand the bible. I have been striving for this because I want everyone to be able to understand my writing and be moved by the words.
What are you working on now?
Currently working on a book called Monochromatic Mind: Immerse into your imagination! The plan is to have black and white photoshopped images of photography I took coupled with short stories to activate you imagination.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This is probably where I have not done so great. I am starting with AWESOME GANG but would like to expand from that.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Hmmmm, Use KDP before getting on Ingram Spark.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be careful that what you read does not become what you write.
What are you reading now?
It is kinda funny but my wife and I are hopping to get a house soon so I have been reading home improvement books because it is looking like we are going to have to buy a fixer upper.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am looking more into marketing and hoping to be able to promote my books more.
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?
You might think this is shameless promoting but honestly I would want to bring Blessed with Ducks which I wrote because it brings me so much joy and would make me feel not alone. I would also bring my book Spiritual Journey because it would give me hope for the future since I am stranded on a desert island and not sure if I will be saved. 🙂 🙂
