Interview With Author V K Beta
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written a few books. I have some poetry books and I’m currently writing a superhero series. I am also a prophet of The Neighborhood, the one true religion and have written two sacred texts for that religion.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Evelyn Unleashed. It is the second book in the Evelyn series. The series was inspired by a dream I had nearly 20 years ago.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have a theater background and I love Shakespeare, therefore I first write screenplays and then convert them to novel format.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My favorite books are The Lord of the Rings and I’ve always loved Shakespeare. I’m not sure if I’m ready to say they have influenced my writing, though. In reality, I tend to be influenced by real life human interactions.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on the Evelyn series. It’s a superhero series with sci-fi elements such as genetic manipulation, cyborgs, and abilities rooted in modern science.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I still haven’t figured out a good way to promote my books. Hopefully, this works better than what I have tried so far.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do it for fun. Trying to be a professional creative person will leave you broke and jaded. Have a stable job and only write if you feel you have to write. If you try to force it, it won’t work. It has to be something you are so passionate about that you spend all day thinking about it, but you lack the time to exhaust your idea well.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Work smarter, not harder.
What are you reading now?
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
What’s next for you as a writer?
After I finish the Evelyn series, I’m going to start writing more space based science fiction. Given that I have degrees in astrophysics and space systems, I should be decent at it.
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?
Well, obviously I would bring a copy of The Neighborhood, The One True Religion, but after that, I would bring books that teach me how to survive on such an island. Or maybe just really thick books that I could use to defend myself from any dangerous animals.
