Relynn Wicks 

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi everyone! I am from the US. I have been writing books since 2012. I have written a horror fiction and nonfiction at first, then moved onto fantasy fiction which is my current work in progress. I got my interest in writing when I was a teen and wrote music. I have lived in 16 states in the US and traveled through much of the rest. I enjoy hiking, singing, playing music, and spending time with my friends and family.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My current book is called, The Heathen King. It is book 1 in a trilogy called, The Chronicles of Chaos. This story was inspired from my love for medieval fantasy books and film/tv. The Heathen King is a dark fantasy story about a gay prince who fights against his brother for rule over the kingdom while struggling to find himself and learn about his extraordinary gifts.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I cannot write in a quiet secluded area. I like to sit on the couch with a movie playing in the background or music. I also tend to spend a lot of time browsing Twitter while I write. I am distracted very easily!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Mostly Game of Thrones and The Hobbit/LOTR. They are some of my all time favorite tales. After binging all seasons of GOT, I started writing my stories.

What are you working on now?
I am working on book 2 in the trilogy called, The Witch King which takes place where The Heathen King left off, then forwards to 5 years ahead.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have done my best marketing on Instagram and Twitter. I have found some of the best connections here, but also I have built my own website, and I do a lot of book promo deals on Amazon. I also use Pubby quite a bit which helps get reviews and makes connections to other authors and readers.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t rush! Be patient. Rejections happen, A LOT!
Research the heck out of whatever you are writing. Get some great editing software, there are some wonderful free ones out there that can help clean up your story. Believe me, everytime I use a different one, I find more mistakes. There are also a great deal of helpful people in the writing community on Twitter who are always there to give advise and have your back when it comes to promoting YOU!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t expect everyone to appreciate your work. There will be a lot of criticism and a lot of people that think you are wasting your time. However, if you love it, and you feel good doing it, then that is all that matters. Believe in yourself, no matter what!

What are you reading now?
I have been very slowly reading Shadow and Bone. I am so far behind due to my own writing, but I love the stories and am super excited for the Netflix show.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully, getting a traditional publisher for my trilogy, however, in the meantime, I will keep writing and self publishing, and promoting. I can only hope for the best!

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Hobbit, Harry Potter (let’s just say the whole series is one book!), and probably mine. (sounds conceited, but I just love the story so much!)
