Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is T.M. Dawson, I love to read, write, draw, and make YouTube videos. I have one book published, it is called The Hunter: a Nightingale Novel. I published on October 31, 2019 and now I am working on the next book in the Nightingale series!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Hunter: A Nightingale Novel, and it was inspired by my love of the paranormal. It was supposed to be published with Ed Greenwood’s Hellmaw series. I love everything paranormal, my favorite things to write are demons, angels, werewolves, and werefoxes.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write by long hand with my Apple Pencil and IPad. I am learning to dictate my books, and have found that writing at night is when I am most active.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
R.A. Salvatore was the first Author I read. He made me want to be an author! I also was influenced by Laurell K Hamilton and that brought in my love of the paranormal.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the second book in the Nightingale series, my webtoon called “Deaf Girl Rising” and my YouTube channel.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I find that Facebook, Instagram and twitter works for me. I love Twitter. I have my own website too! https://tmdawsonauthor.wixsite.com/website
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write, just write. I am not going to say to do it everyday because some people work best when they are rested. Read a lot on your genre, and learn to love the journey. You will fail some and win some, but ultimately, your success is only able to be so much if you keep working towards your goals. Write, don’t worry about if the story sounds weird you can fix it later.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Keep writing, no matter what, just keep going. Believe in yourself.
What are you reading now?
I am reading a book called “Author Branding.” And “Wrapped in Ink” by Carrie Ann Ryan.
What’s next for you as a writer?
What’s next for me is to get more books published! I am an Indie Author, so I publish my own books. Also, to grow my YouTube and work on my webtoon (it helps me practice drawing. I am not an expert but it’s fun!)
What is your favorite book of all time?
The Dark Elf Trilogy
