Interview With Author Vlad M
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Vlad, I’m from Ukraine, and I love horror movies and funny animated shows. This is my very first book, and it’s the beginning of a series about the town of Fogmur — a place cursed by a dark ritual that has attracted monsters from all over the world.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Ninja-Werewolf at School from The Secret Heroes Club series. I was inspired by my daughter, who absolutely loves listening to my stories.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Sometimes I growl like a werewolf or practice ninja moves in the living room before writing. My family has learned not to be alarmed. It helps me get into character.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a huge fan of the Gravity Falls universe — the mix of mystery, humor, and weirdness really inspires me. I also admire Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series for its wit, imagination, and clever storytelling.
What are you working on now?
I’ve started the second book in the Fogmur series — it’s about vampires. The working title is Blood and Glitter.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I don’t have a clear favorite yet — still learning as I go. But I hope this very site becomes one of the best places to share my work with readers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what makes you laugh, cry, or jump out of your chair. If it entertains you, chances are it will entertain someone else too.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Don’t get married.” I ignored it…
What are you reading now?
The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers.
What’s next for you as a writer?
For now, I’ll be focusing on expanding this series. I already have a pile of ideas and plots that I can’t wait to explore.
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?
A Guide to Useful and Poisonous Plants
How to Survive on a Desert Island
How to Make Anything from Bananas, Coconuts and Sand
And maybe one Terry Pratchett book, because survival is easier when you’re laughing.
