Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello guys! I’m Naomi, a young author who is obsessed with watching cat videos, Asian drama, DIY, and learning new, Random, things. So far I have written three books, two of which I consider my ‘official books’.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Haima. It is the second book in The Artefact Series. It has a blend of Victorian themes, and the Igbo tribe of western Africa. I have always longed to see my culture written in a fantasy setting like any other fantasy novel, and so I created one to the best of my ability.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write better at night. Between the hours of 2-3am.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
This is very hard for me to say, because I have a long list of authors and books that inspire me. But if I’m to select one, I’d say Jennifer. L. Armentrout, the author of the Blood and Ash series. It was her books that made me go into writing romance fantasy.
What are you working on now?
I am working on another Romance fantasy story, and this time it’s a novel not a novella. It’s about fae-like creatures, magic, humans, elites and commoners, love, and of course, Vengeance. (Cue: proud nod)
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
To be honest, I do not know. Marketing isn’t really my strong forte. I just promote my books on as many sites as I can and hope for the best.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Have fun while writing! Do not write just for the market, but write for yourselves also.
What are you reading now?
The familiar, by Leigh Bardugo
What is your favorite book of all time?
Rage of Angels, by Sydney Sheldon. This book made me realise that I might have masochistic tendencies. Because I have no idea why I keep reading it and recommending it to other people. Despite how it ends! (Oops. Spoiler!)
