Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am the author of the fantasy fiction trilogy The Kenryk Series. I am a hybrid introvert/extrovert with a social battery of two hours. I have been writing since I was ten years old and finally gathered the courage to let my characters engage with other people who are not me by going the self publishing route. Music is my muse -with- according to Spotify, Kpop being my most listened to genre. I enjoy singing hopelessly out of tune in my car and pretending I can keep up with complicated choreography in my attempt to do cardio. I also feel awkward writing this about myself.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Kenryk Series: The Avaris. As for inspiration, it is normally music. I have been writing non-stop since I was 10. I always have a book in me, some story that wants me to write it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I cannot force myself to write. If I am not anchored to something, be it music or TV series or anything, I cannot write. I only write when my mind decides.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Sherilynn Kenyon, J.K Rowling, A.C. Jordan are some of the authors that have inspired me. I read mostly books not in my genre, though, so perhaps the only fantasy fiction book that has inspired me is the Lord of the Rings
What are you working on now?
The second book in my trilogy called The Kenryk Series: The Rise of of the Emoryk
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve mostly been using facebook and instagram and running campaigns on Amazon
Do you have any advice for new authors?
You need the audacity to believe you can do it. Don’t overthink it. Just do it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t overthink. Do you.
What are you reading now?
I’m in a reading funk.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To continue growing as a writer. To read even more books. To create a connection with my readers.
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?
