Interview with an Author - Alex Micati

• Tell me a little about yourself personally.

I was born during a storm, eons ago. Then, I grew next to the walls and had no friends, real or fictitious. I always was (and still am) a selective sharp tool, in the sense that if I like something, I’ll learn all the way. If I don’t, well…..

• What is the name of the book or books you have published?

I wrote “Capital Murders”, and published it in June of this year, as an indie author.

• Where can they be found?

It can be found on Amazon and I suspect on pirate sites. (end rant….)

• Do you have any current WIPs?

I do. Working title is “Miracle”. It is therefore my miracle WIP. (hold for laughs….).

• How are they going?

It’s going well. I just finished the outline, but I may change it all, at one point.

• What got you into writing?

Twas the lovely baker’s daughter that got me into writing. I foolishly thought I’d be able to seduce her, despite my meek physique. (Seriously, I was bored, angry and in high school. That is why I took the pen. It is, after all, mightier than the sword.)

• What keeps you focused?

Knowing that if I drop the pen, decayed stars with empty stories will fill the shelves with their mundane lives. What a bunch of doofuses!

• What gives you inspiration?

I get inspired by the news. I got a small passion for cold cases. Although, shouldn’t we give them some NyQuil, so that they don’t catch a cold case?

• How do you battle writers block?

M’dear, writer’s block is like the behemoth you cannot fight. You let it embrace you and you wait for it to go, afterwards.

• Did you decide on traditional or self publishing?

From day 1, I knew I was going to be an indie author. How naive of me!

• What made you make that choice?

I chose the indie route, because I wanted to have the ultimate control on every aspect of the process.

• How does it feel to be considered an author?

I still can’t believe I’m one. For now, I’m just a guy who happened to have put a few words together and who’s hoping they’d make sense…..and dollars.

• What’s your social media platforms for people to find you?

I’m on Twitter (@Alex_Micati) and on Tinder. I also got linked in that other professional platform.

Thank you for doing this interview, Alex! And thank you readers for reading it! I hope this was as enjoyable for you all as it was for me!
