Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I am Mohamed Aslam. The author of “A Road to the Life I Want”. I am really passionate about writing. I started my writing career in Wattpad. I have completed one book ‘A Road to the Life I Want’ and it is available in Amazon (Ebook and Paperback). My writings are based on different genres.
I want to give the reader a new experience to live. I love writing because it gives a chance to live many characters. It creates a new experience to the Author as well as the Reader.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Road to the Life I Want is my latest book. I was inspired by the idea of change. A road of decisions that a person can take. I wanted to give my authors a new experience. The book is entirely different in all aspects. A mystery thriller with unexpected turnings.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love drinking Coffee while writing. And I love listening to music while writing. It gives you new ideas and keeps you active
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Author’s like Arthur Conan Doyle, Stephen King, Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho etc…
Books like the Alchemist, Sherlock Holmes, Rose Madder, etc…
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on “20 days to die”. You can find my novel on Wattpad. The story is based on a person who is going to die within 20 days due to a brain cancer. What will he do in the last few days of his life? What can a person do with only 20 days to live. What will you do?
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think promotions can be done by providing samples on websites like Wattpad. And of course sharing your book on Facebook, Twitter, etc
You can create YouTube trailers for your book which will also attract many users. Make your copy available in Paperback, ebook and audiobook. Try to write blogs that will help to establish your name. Use GoodReads for giveaways and develop a good author profile…
I think this are few ideas you can use…
Do you have any advice for new authors?
The awesome part of being a new author is learning. Learn as much as you can before you start. Don’t give the same content like others. Make your content unique in your ways. Try to write with passion. Try to imagine your characters. Write as if the characters are real. Imagine the scenes in your mind. It will definitely give you a clear idea of what you are writing. Ask questions like Why, How and What?
Believe that what you are writing is worth writing. I am a new author and I believe writing without passion can’t benefit the reader as well as the author. Hope the advice helps you.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you can’t the find the book you want to read. Just Write it down
