My name is Shane DeSimone and I was born in 2001 in Long Island, New York. I have written a few stories with only one being put out for the world to read.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is “Lucid Dreams. There were a few things that inspired the making of this story which included the current events that the world is facing and the state that I had been in at the time of thinking it up.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to listen to music while I write. It helps me be more creative.

Some books that have influenced my writing are “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep” by Philip K Dick and The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on a story based on the seven deadly sins. It is a story of a boy who must go through seven trials to save his mother who had been taken from him.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I haven’t really been successful in promoting my story, though a site that has helped the most would be Reddit.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I myself am a new author so the best advice I could give would be to not give up no matter what obstacles you face that threaten to halt you in your path.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Worry is a downpayment on a problem you may never have.” It’s more of a statement, though it has stuck with me ever since I first heard it.

I’m currently re-reading “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep.”
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m working on getting my next story out soon and by then, hopefully, more will know my name.
