I read Sindbad the sailor when I was about 10. The impact it had on me? I never miss a pirate movie.
How do you approach cover design?
I do lots of research online about whats in trend, then try to make some in Photoshop and send it to friends and ask for their suggestions. That's all I do, Oh and I always save cover design for the last.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
To pick five favorite out of so many good ones would be total injustice.

I mostly read Detective stories, Cook Books and Biographies

I started writing this January, I started late.

I just wanted people to know that most thing that we usually throw away are perfectly edible and how we don't have to keep running to stores for herbs all the time. Growing them back is super easy and just need a mason jar.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
When people reads my book and connect to me on social media and write about how much they like the book, greatest feeling ever.
What do your fans mean to you?
I don't know, I have none yet. When I do it won't be fans, it will be like a one big family.
