At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I loved reading from a very early age. Greek, Roman and Norse mythology were early favourites, then books like The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and thrillers by Robert Ludlum or Frederick Forsyth. I started writing blogs and books about 10 years ago.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read across a variety of genres depending on my mood.
For pure fun and relaxation, I love thrillers by Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy, Frederick Forsyth.
For more introspection, I enjoy the books by Paolo Coelho or the Stoicism books by Ryan Holiday.
I like the books of Malcolm Gladwell and Charles Duhigg – their style of writing has influenced my own approach to writing (although I use a narrative non-fiction format).
