Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I began to write novels at age 15, and since then have written novels, short story collections and volumes of poetry. I have succeeded in publishing only two novels and a novella. The two novels are BOSHETH WILLIAMS, published in England in 2003, and WORDS OF A SHAMAN, published in England in 2019. MY DUNGAREES, 67 pages in length, is the novella. I am still searching for publishers for my other manuscripts.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I have two latest books. One is a full length novel entitled WORDS OF A SHAMAN, published in London in March 2019. The other is a novella entitled MY DUNGAREES, which was published in March 2019, in the Amazon Kindle Edition. My poems have been published in newspapers and magazines, and over 150 of them are online.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am more or less a nocturnal writer. There’s more serenity felt late at night, when one could hear one’s own blood flow through one’s own plexus. That, to me, is the most auspicious time to put thoughts down on a paper.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Many of them. I have no particular influence among writers or books.
What are you working on now?
I am writing two novels at the same time. I’m also working on a collection of poems.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My Amazon Author Page https://www.amazon.com/Nkwachukwu-Ogbuagu/e/B0034NMVDO
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Continue writing. Once you’ve got the afflatus, find the time to share your thoughts. Then read whatever is printed. You become a greater writer when you read other writers’ works.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up!
What are you reading now?
A Thousand Forests in One Acorn by Valerie Miles
What’s next for you as a writer?
Seeking out publishers or literary agents in the bid to publish my many manuscripts.
What is your favorite book of all time?
I have no particular favourite book. All the same, I have read so many GOOD and INSPIRING books.
