Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Technically two, but the first book I wrote ended up being the third book in the Saga, so it sits on my hard-drive for now.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Toska is my current book. Like the rest of the books, it was inspired by my love of RPG games. Most are based on the actual RPG characters I created.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to create a playlist for each book and listen to it while I write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I guess Tolkien is my hero, and you could say I was a bit influenced by Dracula and Moby Dick.
What are you working on now?
Aside from silly short-stories about the minor characters, I am working on book 2. This one is about werewolves.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Twitter and Reddit seem to be good for promotions. Blogs and Facebook groups do well too. I find them to be far more effective than Kindle Marketing Service.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. Forget about everything and write for yourself.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Forget the rules. Rules are for editors. Just Write.
What are you reading now?
Mostly any indie books I come across. I just finished reading Song of the Boricua, it was a very compelling read, I loved it.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing. Eventually, I want to finish my story so I can read it when I get old and senile. And you know, maybe someone else will like it too.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Lord of The Rings Trilogy, it helped me escape a very dark place in my life.
