Another author has stopped into the Hybrid Nation for an interview, man we’re really picking up now! She’s a novelist and a horror writer who enjoys scaring her writers to bed. She currently lives in the Midwest of the good old USA and likes plenty of other things besides writing. As seen on her website on Red Ink Publications, she is a hard-working author willing to pay her dues and is trying to write the best horror book possible, after all, isn’t that what we horror/Sci-Fi authors want to accomplish. Anyway, let’s quit the small talk, hehehe. Aminah Iman, welcome to the Hybrid Nation and let’s get this interview started!

 

Hi Angel, thanks so much for having me!

 

1. When did you decide to become an author?

-I have always been fascinated with creating stories. I have decided in 2006 to stop writing only for myself and start writing for the masses

 

2. Why did you decide to become an author?

After I wrote my first book, Lillith: My genesis I let a few family members and friends read it, after the great feedback I felt as if I could do this full time.

 

3. What genres do you plan to write for the future or is horror your main staple for the rest of your career?

You never know what the future will bring but for the foreseeable future, I am sticking with horror and historical fiction.

 

4. Besides writing what else do you like to do and what are your hobbies?

I love to read when I have the time and I also love to cook.

 

5. Who’s your biggest inspiration for your writing?

My fans. I know that may sound corny but it’s true!

 

6. How much time do you dedicate to writing your books?

As far as on a daily basis I dedicate five to eight hours, it’s a full-time job for me. For the entirety of a book, I write until it is finished.

7. How important do you think writing is to the young generation?

I think writing to.the younger generation is very important. To me, writing is a form of self-expression and what better way to express themselves.

 

8. How excited were you when you finally published your first book?

I was ridiculously excited and terrified. I didn’t know anyone personally who had ever published a book before so there was some fear mixed in with the happy.

 

9. What is the easiest part of writing in your opinion?

The easiest part for me is letting the characters lead. I write what they tell me.

 

10. What is the hardest part of writing in your opinion?

The hardest part is knowing when to stop. I always want to go back and add more!

 

11. What is your favorite and least favorite part of writing?

My favorite part of writing is all the extensive research that I do for each book

 

12. What can we expect from you next?

My next book is another ‘The Chronicles of Sari’ I have lived with The Vamperial for so long, I need a change of genre.

13. How do you deal with writer's block?

In all honesty, I do not have writer's block, as long as the characters are talking I am writing. When they stop talking so do I.

 

14. How much more do you prefer writing short horror books over an actual novel?

I really don’t have a preference, I write what comes to mind. If it happens to be a novel or a short horror story I am good either way.

 

 

15. If you like to say anything else such as advice, shoutouts, or just whatever’s in your mind say it now. The stage is yours!

 

I would like to thank you to the entire #AiNation I would also like to acknowledge Red Ink team. My life and career are richer with them in it.I’d like to shoutout my fabulous twitter fam, you guys are the best!
