Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a freelance writer and translator specialized in English, Italian, French and German. When I’m not helping individuals and companies promote their products and services worldwide, I’m taking classes to learn other skills and applying for customer support/receptionist/shop assistant/other roles outside Italy (but still in Europe). I have written and self-published eight books, including one under a pen name.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Slán To Sláinte: A short story”. The inspiration came from a particularly hard time I was going through during my stay in Ireland, and it is the darkest novel I have ever written.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No, I don’t have any unusual writing habits.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King, Colleen McCullough, Michel Faber, Émile Zola.
What are you working on now?
I recently published my last book (under a pen name). I don’t plan to write any more books because I ran out of things that would fit into a book, but I won’t stop writing, so I decided that I would focus on short stories.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The book trailers I make and publish on YouTube. They’re the most fun way of advertising myself, in my opinion.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Make sure that what you publish is what you have written to the best of your abilities.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
As of recent, “It’s not over until you win” by Les Brown. It’s something that can be applied to almost any situation.
What are you reading now?
“Money” by Émile Zola.
What’s next for you as a writer?
At the moment, I’m collecting material for a new short story, but I’m taking my time.
What is your favorite book of all time?
I don’t have one, unfortunately. But there are so many books in the world, and one day I will come across what I will consider as my favorite of all time.
