Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an independent author deeply passionate about spiritual growth, natural health, and mindful living rooted in faith and gratitude.
My mission is to write books that inspire humility, inner peace, and a life lived in harmony with God, people, and creation.
I have written two books so far, which are part of my ongoing mission to share peaceful and practical wisdom with readers.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is "Life in Harmony: How Small Daily Choices Create Health, Peace, and Meaning". It was inspired by the overwhelming noise, stress, and constant pressure of the modern world.
I wanted to show how small, everyday choices can restore our health and inner balance.
My first book is "Eco Life: A Journey Toward Peace and Gratitude", which is a gentle, faith-rooted guide inspired by the New Testament, teaching us how gratitude and simplicity can free the soul from anxiety.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I prefer to write early in the morning when the world is still quiet. I often spend time in nature before sitting down to write, as it helps me connect with the themes of peace, simplicity, and creation that I share in my books.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My biggest influence is the New Testament. It is a constant source of wisdom, light, and timeless truth about humility, love, trust, and presence. I am also deeply influenced by books focused on Christian spirituality, voluntary simplicity, and holistic health.

What are you working on now?
I am currently focused on growing the community around my platform, ecolifebook.com, where I publish articles on wellness and faith. I am also outline and planning my future books, which will continue to focus on spiritual development, human health, and the connection between our inner life and physical well-being.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My best method is sharing the books directly with highly targeted, niche communities that care about health, nature, and spirituality. I believe in offering genuine value first, which is why I love sharing my books through platforms like Pretty-Hot and my own website.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write from the heart and focus on themes that truly matter. Don’t chase trends; instead, focus on how your words can bring peace, comfort, or practical help to a reader’s life.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
"Live in the present moment, cultivate gratitude for everything, and trust in God’s timing."

What are you reading now?
I am currently re-reading spiritual essays on gratitude and simple living, as well as articles about natural health and sustainable daily habits.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I will continue to write and publish a series of guides dedicated to spiritual development and human health on my website. I want to build a library of resources that help people live calmer, healthier lives.

What is your favorite book of all time?
The Holy Bible. Its spiritual depth, guidance, and peaceful reflections inspire my daily life and all my writing.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
You’ve probably heard this from most authors but I’ve loved reading and writing for as long as I can remember. Suffering from anxiety for most of my life, my most popular phrase is "I write better than I speak!". I first wrote short stories for my younger brothers when I was around 7 years old. They were based on a little green alien called Tiedo – we even drew up some character art. I’ve been a freelance writer for the last 10 years or so, alongside other jobs. However, I started writing my first novel at 19. Unfortunately it took me over 12 years to finish! My second novel, the Heart of a Siren, thankfully only took me two years to write and its now published. Aside from writing, I love anything creative; whether that’s sketching or getting incredibly messy with glitter. Oh I also have a 1/12 scale dollhouse that I’m currently doing up 🙂 I live in Cambridge with my husband, daughter, and beloved feline Salem.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my debut novel is the Heart of a Siren. I’ve always loved watching supernatural-focused tv series (my most favourite being the Vampire Diaries, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Originals, and Supernatural). I’d been itching to write something new for a while and I found myself wondering about other mythical creatures when watching an episode of Supernatural. Vampires have been consistently done, so have creatures like werewolves. In the episode, there was a Siren as a character. My interest piqued and i started researching Sirens, right back to reading Homer’s the Odyssey! Greek mythology fascinates me in general, but the more I found out about Sirens, the more intrigued I became. The novel just kind of sprung from that. I think it’s time Sirens have their time in the spotlight!

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think i have any normal writing habits to be honest! As much as I would love to have a beautiful writing desk set up with inspirational quotes, I actually usually write on the sofa with the TV as background noise! I tend to focus better when there is noise around me. I’ve even been known to write at the local pub.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
As a kid, the Goosebumps books had me hooked! However, as I got older, Virginia Andrews became my go-to. Flowers in the Attic was unlike anything I had read before, it gripped and pulled at my heartstrings in a way that has never left me. I hope this intensity is something I bring to my own writing. I also love Jodi Picoult – the subjects she tackles are inspirational and needed.

What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on the sequel to the Heart of a Siren! I’m invested in the family now so even I cant wait to see what happens next.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
As a brand new indie author, I am definitely still learning when it comes to promotion and marketing. It’s a learn as you go type of deal. I started with social media, getting engagement. However, I also now have my own small website where people can find out more about me and purchase the novel. Rest assured I will update it when I’m closer to finishing the sequel.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My most prominent piece of advice would be never give up! Being a writer and author is hard, especially in the beginning. You also need to realise that you are unknown at this stage, so celebrate every sale or every tiny engagement. You need to put the work in to get the rewards out.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Oddly enough, it’s the exact piece of advice I just gave. When I was a teenager, I met children’s author Jill Murphy. She was so sweet and grounded. My mum told her how much I loved writing and she told me to keep at it and don’t give up. And i never did!

What are you reading now?
I am currently reading ‘The Secret of Secrets’ by Dan Brown – I am such a big fan of his.

What’s next for you as a writer?
While my debut novel is now published, I’m well aware that this is just the beginning of the journey. I will continue marketing, growing as a person, and writing – let’s see where it leads.

What is your favorite book of all time?
Flowers in the Attic by Virginia Andrews

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an author, strategist, and digital creator dedicated to building immersive worlds and empowering modern careers. As a fiction author, I write high-stakes, trope-heavy romance across multiple vibrant sub-genres—including fast-paced sports romance (The Backup Plan Roommate), dark neon cyberpunk dystopias (TITANS: Soulbound Debt), standalone billionaire romance (THE ARCHITECTURE OF US), and atmospheric gothic romantasy (THE GLASS ALCHEMIST).
Beyond fiction, I channel my passion for technology and strategic growth into authoring high-utility career guides—such as THE AI ADVANTAGE and CHATGPT CAN MAKE YOUR RESUME ATS SCORE 95%—designed to help professionals automate their workflows and future-proof their brands. Whether navigating a complex romantic bond or unlocking the power of artificial intelligence, my work delivers innovation, passion, and purpose.
Books Written:
I have written and published 6 books across fiction and tech-career nonfiction formats.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest release is TITANS: Soulbound Debt, which hit the shelves on May 27, 2026.
The inspiration for the book came from a fascination with contrasting elements: the cold, calculated, high-tech world of cyberpunk technology mixed with the deeply organic, spiritual, and inescapable nature of a "soulbound" bond. I wanted to explore what happens when two people who are naturally driven to be enemies are physically and electronically tethered together in a ruthless, neon-drenched futuristic underworld like the London Under-City. It’s a story about survival, fighting against an oppressive system, and finding a raw human connection when the entire world has gone digital.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Because my mind operates in two completely different spheres—writing dark, emotional fictional romances one day and building highly technical AI career utilities and resume frameworks the next—my writing process is intensely segmented.
My most unusual habit is using my own AI prompt engineering structures to map out my worldbuilding before I write a single line of prose. While many authors use traditional notebooks, I treat my brain like an algorithm: I build complex logic models for my magic systems or tech-dystopias first, ensuring the structural "rules" of the world make perfect sense. Once the technical boundaries of the world are flawlessly optimized, I completely switch off the logical side of my brain, turn on atmospheric synth-wave or gothic music, and let the raw, chaotic emotions of my characters take over the keyboard.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
My writing style is heavily influenced by authors who successfully master high-stakes tension and seamless blending of genres:
William Gibson (Neuromancer): The undisputed godfather of cyberpunk. His grit, atmospheric neon-and-chrome aesthetics, and vision of dystopian underground networks deeply influenced the gritty backdrop of TITANS: Soulbound Debt.
Sarah J. Maas & Jennifer L. Armentrout: I am endlessly inspired by how they craft high-stakes, breathless romantic tension and unbreakable character bonds amidst chaotic, dangerous worlds. They taught me how to make readers fall deeply in love with the characters while simultaneously worrying about their survival.
V.E. Schwab: Her ability to write atmospheric, moody, and slightly dark speculative fiction heavily guided my hand when crafting the eerie, magical world of THE GLASS ALCHEMIST.

What are you working on now?
Right now, my main focus is on expanding my fiction catalog while keeping my technical projects moving forward. On the romance side, I am currently wrapping up the draft for the next formatting phase of THE GLASS ALCHEMIST, which is the first book in my Shattered Spells gothic romantasy series. I’m dive-ying deep into the dark, atmospheric worldbuilding for that universe. Simultaneously, I am constantly updating and refining my AI prompt frameworks and career utilities to make sure my nonfiction readers have the most cutting-edge strategies for optimizing their professional brands in an evolving digital landscape.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My absolute best method for promoting books is a two-pronged strategy: leveraging high-visibility newsletter aggregators alongside organic, trope-focused social media marketing.
For platforms, I highly rely on the KDP Select (Kindle Unlimited) ecosystem combined with targeted book promotion hubs. Utilizing the 5-day free promotion window on Amazon to trigger the internal "Also-Bought" recommendation algorithms is a game-changer. When it comes to external sites, pairing that free window with heavy organic pushes on BookTok (TikTok) and Bookstagram (Instagram)—specifically using highly searchable, visual "trope cards" that tell readers exactly what flavor of drama, forced proximity, or enemies-to-lovers dynamics they are getting—drives the highest volume of engaged page-reads.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My biggest piece of advice is to treat your writing like an art, but your publishing like a business.
Don’t write in a vacuum. Understand the market and the specific tropes that readers in your chosen genre are hungry for, and ensure your packaging—especially your book cover and your blurb—instantly communicates those tropes visually. If you write sci-fi romance, your cover needs to scream sci-fi romance, not general fiction. Additionally, embrace modern technology rather than fearing it. Use digital organization tools, formatting frameworks, and data analytics to optimize your backend workflow so you can spend less time stressed about administrative tasks and more time actually writing your next book.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard is: "Don’t wait for perfect conditions to launch; iterate in public."
In both writing and technology, it is incredibly easy to fall into the trap of perfectionism—waiting for the flawless sentence, the perfect market conditions, or the ultimate marketing budget. But a book resting in your digital drafts folder cannot gather page reads, and an unshared tool cannot help anyone optimize their career. Put your work out into the world, look at the data of how readers and users interact with it, learn from the gaps, and use that real-world feedback to make your next project infinitely stronger.

What are you reading now?
Right now, I am reading "Iron Flame" by Rebecca Yarros. As someone who absolutely loves writing high-stakes romantic tension and intense, bonded connections between characters, watching how she weaves brutal military-college stakes with an unforgiving fantasy world is incredibly inspiring. I’m also diving into a few indie-published cyberpunk romance titles on Kindle Unlimited to stay completely immersed in the latest worldbuilding trends of the neon-dystopian scene.

What’s next for you as a writer?
My immediate next step is focusing heavily on my serialized fiction. Since THE GLASS ALCHEMIST is Book 1 of my Shattered Spells series, I am deeply focused on mapping out and writing the sequels to keep my romantasy readers hooked.
Beyond that, I plan to bridge my two passions even further. I’m currently outlining a brand-new cyberpunk romance series that leans even heavier into AI ethics, neural networks, and high-tech corporate espionage. On the nonfiction side, I will be releasing updated editions of my career guides to reflect the absolute latest shifts in AI-driven resume screeners and digital branding strategies.

What is your favorite book of all time?
It is incredibly hard to pick just one, but if I have to choose the book that altered how I look at storytelling, it’s "Neuromancer" by William Gibson.
The way he built the concept of the "Matrix" and the gritty, rain-slicked, neon world of Chiba City long before the modern digital age existed is pure genius. It proves that great worldbuilding isn’t just about setting a scene—it’s about creating an entire atmospheric vibe that sticks with the reader for decades. Every time I write a high-tech city or a characters hacking into a terminal, I am drawing from the structural blueprint that Gibson laid down.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
2-Published, 1-ready for submission, 1-rough draft in editing, several short stories that I plan to combine into one volume.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Final Days, will go live on Amazon in mid June, inspired by a sign I passed on the way out of town. Climate change had been on my mind for a couple of years, and I past a nursery ready to close for the winter. The sign said "Final Days Sale." and I thought, what if it really was.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. Staring at a blank sheet of paper until beads of blood drip from my forehead, where they pool into flawed characters drawn into webs of deceit, and must act in precarious situations, with the odds stacked against them. Then I’m obsessed with the plot, tropes, character arcs and cannot rest until I’m finished with a first draft.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Michael Connelly’s Bosch series. Lee Child’s Reacher series, J.D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee series. Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon, and everything written by Carl Hiaasen.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m spending too much time on the business side, Marketing. But I’m also doing the final editing for my next book, "The Reunion," a modern-day noir detective, Nick Rafferty, PI, Ex-NYPD detective, and war veteran, has anger issues and a soft spot for women in distress. Meeting ghosts from his past, dragging their chains of disillusionment, wasn’t part of the plan, and they’re both pushing Nick’s buttons. But now his ex-lover, a U.S. Senator, needs help only he can provide. A power-hungry weapons manufacturer has forced the Senator into a dark corner with no escape.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
To be determined.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write and continue to write every day. It doesn’t matter what it is, because you need to write a million words before the juices really start to flow, and it comes out right. Keep a sledgehammer handy in case you come across writer’s block.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write a million words, and do your best to keep them punchy. But seriously, I was told by a writing coach to read the book, "Writing the Breakout Novel" by Donald Maass. Maass is one of the top agents around and has represented many top authors. He truly knows how to achieve the best in writing.

What are you reading now?
SQUEEZE ME, by Carl Hiaasen. A present-day political farce. Think the Marx Bros at the summer White House.
JACK DAWS, by Ken Follett, World War II, French Resistance saga.
CORRUPTION OF BLOOD, by Robt Tanenbaum, Investigating the Warren Commission cover-up of Kennedy’s assassination.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Well, it’s 1:30 am, so going to bed is next. Then I’ll finish my 2nd Rafferty novel in the series, "Spear of Destiny."

What is your favorite book of all time?
That’s a hard one, but "For Whom the Bell Tolls," by Hemingway, hit me hard. It was a wartime romance in true noir style. I absolutely love it.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Anuoluwapo Murphy, and I am a 14-year-old author from Niagara Falls, Ontario. I love reading new stories, playing basketball, and coming up with creative writing ideas. I have been creating imaginative worlds and stories since I was seven years old, and storytelling has become a big passion of mine. I am also proud to have earned a scholarship through the Junior Scholars Essay Contest.

So far, I have written one book, When the Suitcases Learned to Speak, and I hope to continue writing many more stories in the future. I love listening to music as well! You will find artists like Steve Lacy and Malcolm Todd relaxing in my playlists.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called When the Suitcases Learned to Speak. The story was inspired by themes of identity, culture, and belonging, especially the experience of trying to hold on to who you are while adjusting to a new environment. I wanted to explore what it feels like to balance heritage with fitting in, and how family, names, stories, and memories can help people stay connected to where they come from. The idea of the ‘speaking suitcases’ came from imagining how the things we carry with us can hold memories, stories, and pieces of home.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I definitely have some unusual writing habits! Sometimes I act out scenes or quietly talk like my characters to figure out how they would sound in a conversation. I also get random story ideas at the weirdest times, like right before bed or while doing something completely unrelated, so I keep notes nearby to quickly write them down. Occasionally, I daydream about a scene for a long time before I actually write it because I like imagining all the details in my head first.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Some authors who have influenced me are Jacqueline Woodson, whose stories explore identity, family, and belonging, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, whose writing beautifully explores culture, heritage, and the immigrant experience. I also admire Angie Thomas for the way she gives powerful voices to young people and important social experiences. Books that focus on heritage and finding your identity inspire me because they remind me how important stories are in helping people feel seen and connected to where they come from.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I am continuing to grow as a writer and exploring new story ideas. I enjoy creating characters and imagining different worlds, so I am always brainstorming new projects and creative ideas. Since When the Suitcases Learned to Speak was my first book, I am excited to keep learning, writing, and seeing where storytelling takes me next.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
As a young author, I am still learning about book promotion, but I think one of the best ways to promote a book is through social media and connecting directly with readers. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok can be great for sharing behind the scenes writing moments, book updates, and connecting with people who enjoy reading. I also think school events, local libraries, book fairs, and word of mouth are really helpful because they create personal connections with readers. Right now, I am focused on sharing my story and learning more about what works best as I grow as an author

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is to keep writing, even when it feels difficult. Do not be afraid to share your ideas because every story matters, and your unique voice is what makes your writing special. Read as much as you can, try different styles, and do not worry about making everything perfect on the first try. Writing takes practice, patience, and creativity. Most importantly, write stories that mean something to you, because passion makes storytelling stronger.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
One of the best pieces of advice I have ever heard is, ‘Your voice matters,’ from my mom. As a writer, it reminds me that every story is unique and that I should not be afraid to tell the stories that feel important to me. It has encouraged me to keep writing, be creative, and trust my ideas, even when something feels challenging.

What are you reading now?
Right now, I’m reading Sunrise on the Reaping, and I’m really enjoying it. Even though it does not match the cultural and heritage themes I often write about, I still like exploring different kinds of stories. Reading books across different genres inspires me as a writer and gives me new ideas for storytelling, characters, and world-building.

What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, I want to continue growing, learning, and exploring new story ideas. After writing When the Suitcases Learned to Speak, I am excited to keep creating stories that connect with readers and explore meaningful themes, especially identity, family, and belonging. I also want to challenge myself by trying new genres and continuing to develop my skills as both a writer and storyteller.

What is your favorite book of all time?
My favorite book of all time is probably Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. I really admire how the story explores identity, family, and belonging in such a powerful way. I love books that connect deeply with culture and personal experiences, and this one inspires me because of how beautifully it tells an important story.
