Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi there! I’m a twenty-two-year-old writer that mainly specializes in fantasy. I’ve written one book, although it’s a thick one at 613 pages. I love creating breathing characters, most of them have been developing inside my head for seventeen years!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Interesting question. I would say Grazing the Sky was inspired by two plots going on in my head at the same time. I had characters I had been with since I was five, and I had a plot about a government experiment escaping and developing his powers on his own. With a thought of “Why not combine the two and make it deadly?”, Grazing was born!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really, unless you count writing on my phone.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Alchemist was a breath of fresh air. It was recently in my hands and the story really spoke as something similar to Grazing. I was grateful to finally see a story similar to my own.
What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m working on my Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction, Leave A Scar. It’s a bundle of creative energy and a lot of fun to write.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Offering for free works well, or so I’ve been told!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Always always always persevere. If it’s a story that you love, know the right moments will come when they are supposed to. In the mean time, keep tapping away!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” – E. L. Doctorow
I think this can be put into any situation, not just writing.
What are you reading now?
I’m honestly not much of a reader, unfortunately.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Fanfiction and school!
What is your favorite book of all time?
Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander
