How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.In my job as a salesman before email, I had to write introductory letters to hopefully get a customers attention before I followed up with a phone call. Over time my writing improved and as an avid reader I decided to try my hand at writing a novel in my spare time. It took ten years to write my first novel, called Whipping Post, mostly at night or on the weekends. After finishing I tried to find a publisher or agent to no avail. I enrolled in a class at a local junior college where I found out the teacher had her own small publishing company. She liked the novel and took it through the process of getting published. The book had tepid sales, primarily because neither of us knew how to market...View More

Can you tell us a bit about it?Thank you for having me! My latest ebook, "The Unwritten," is the second volume of the sequel to my first published book of short stories, "Anthology of Evil." The first volume was a collection of short stories where I had originally planned to include a novella. However, as I began writing, the story took on a life of its own and expanded into its own full-length book."The Unwritten" is a unique tale set across three distinct universes within our multiverse. As the hook on the back of the book says, "Three Hells. Three Unverses. One ending."One unfolds in a remote mountain society, offering a familiar yet eerie backdrop. Another is set in a high-tech world where a sequence of conflicts—a ...View More

When did you start writing stories?I wrote my first story pre ten years of age, and was berated by my teacher. It was supposed to be a holiday account but I had never been on holiday so I fantasised about travelling to Australia on a ship carrying livestock. the punishment was painful and I did not write another fiction story for over thirty years.View More

Which character do you enjoy writing the most as a writer and why? If choosing a favorite character is like choosing a favorite child, which character do you find requires the most attention and detail from you as a writer?At the moment, it is my Victorian-era character. She is challenging as I want to depict the views of the era but also allow her to show strength and fortitude. This requires patience and research, the latter easier than the former!View More

What are some books or authors that you would recommend to our readers?I would like to pass on the advice of my maternal uncle, C. Subba Rao, gave me in my youth that one should begin his reading life with classics for they deepen the thinking, and broaden the outlook besides improving one’s language.Having fortunately heeded to his advice, later on in life, when I thanked him for his advice that benefited me immensely, he said that he merely passed on his father’s advice to him, which makes me indebted to my maternal grandfather C. Kameswara Rao as well.So, I recommend readers to read the classics of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Ivan Turgenev, Emily Zola, Gustav Flaubert, Marcel Proust, Robert Musil et al that is besides my body of work ...View More

Do you have any unusual writing habits?When I wrote my first book, I already had the scenes in my head, so I would get up at 9 in the morning and type. That went for the second through fourth books also. But these latest ones take a bit of brainstorming, so I may write anytime or I may go days and not write. Music helps a lot and religion.View More

How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.As a high school student, I realized that writing was something I liked and enjoyed. So I wrote for the school newspaper, then for the local paper, and later as a student for a large national daily newspaper. Then I wrote short stories that were published in anthologies. Over time I developed the idea for "THE SUPERFLARE", my first long novel. After I decided to write the book I spent two years writing and re-writing, and after many drafts the book was finished and published in 2022.View More

How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.When I retired from the humdrum life of a journalist and editor of my local series of newspapers, I felt it was time for me to expand on my creativity. I started to write a novel to provide me with some stimulation and to give me a hobby. I submitted my first two novels to many agents and publishers, but, although I received some very encouraging feedback, I was unable to find a publisher. I therefore self-published my first two books. I then found Blossom Spring Publishing and they have published my third and fourth novels, "Hector's Revenge" and "The Men in the Marsh".View More

Can you explain your writing process? Do you prefer to create an outline and plan beforehand, or do you prefer to write more spontaneously and organically?I start with an idea and I don't sit down to write until I play that idea around in my head like a movie. This can take several weeks and there are plenty of loose ends. When I feel the idea is ready, I sit down and start writing then I sit back and follow my characters around taking notes. There have been many times when I sat back after writing a chapter, re-read the words and think. Well, that's not what I expected. It always fun to see where the character take the story.View More
