Published 2014-08-19.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I play soccer with my friends to pass time
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I wish I did.
What is your writing process?
I read some stories and get ideas and then create characters and slowly form the plot.
How do you approach cover design?
I choose the basic theme of the story and ask illustrators to sketch my ideas and then I choose from the sketches.
What do you read for pleasure?
Action, adventure and fantasy books excite me.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
Kindle.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Pakistan and it made me a strong headed boy (yes I'm 15 years old)
When did you first start writing?
Right now (I'm 15 years old. This is my first time)
What's the story behind your latest book?
When I first moved here to America I was 13 years old. And I noticed that everyone wanted power and I had seen back in Pakistan how power corrupts you. I spent two years observing everyone after I came here and now when I was 15 I began writing.
What are you working on next?
I am working on a sci-fi fantasy.
Who are your favorite authors?
J.k Rowling
