Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hey Everyone, I’m Veronica. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. So If you are searching for safe clean books. That don’t swear, Don’t talk about sex, and won’t make you want to cover your kids eyes. Than you have come to the right place. I started writing back in 3rd grade, but it wasn’t until recently that I even considered publishing them because I was afraid they would turn out horribly. I currently have 2 books published on amazon, but hope to have more up soon.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is actually one I have been trying to write since middle school but it never turned out quite right. It wasn’t until recently I decided to turn it into a series. Its called Flowers From A Killer: Jealousy Destroys Love Book 1. It’s a mystery/romance book that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well I tend to write more at night and once I start a book it can take me up to a year to 2 years just to finish it.
What are you working on now?
I am actually working on revising an old fantasy book I wrote called the outlawed rose. It’s a romeo and Juliet story that is between a princess and a goblin. Once I am done with that one I will work on the 2nd book to the Jealousy Destroys Love series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and really anywhere I can promote it. Though I tend to focus more on Facebook.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not pay for reviews. Yes reviews are important but paying for reviews does not work. For one thing you never know if they are giving you 5 stars because your book truly earned it or if they only gave your book 5 stars because they want you to spend more money on them. It’s not worth it. There are plenty of people out there who will gladly review your book for free, and their reviews you can be sure is truthful because hey they aren’t getting anything out of it. Besides why pay someone just to tell you whether or not they liked the book.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write for you not them. Don’t worry about what others think. Just write for you. As a writer we often forget that we have to like our books too. We get so absorbed with what others think that we write something we regret. So just write for you first. Make sure you like it and the rest of the world will follow.
What are you reading now?
Hunger Games
What’s next for you as a writer?
Not sure. I would love for one of my books to win a best seller award but I will just have to wait to see what the future holds.
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 Book of Mormon, The Bible, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
