Interview Questions
1. Let’s start with a little something about you. What do you want the readers to know?
Hello Readers. My name isn't really D.L. Colon, but it is a play off of my real name. I am 23 years old and live in Puerto Rico. I started writing my first novel last year and I just recently published it. For me writing was a learning experience because my first language is Spanish and even though I speak English pretty fluently, grammar is not my strong suit. It may surprise you, but until four years ago I hated reading. I found my love for reading, and my inspiration to write, when I read The Summoner by Gail Z. Martin.
I have a Culinary Arts degree, which I'm planning on using when I move to the US early next year. On an interesting note, I got the idea for my first book, The Lost City: Drake's Revenge, from playing video games. I'm a gamer at heart, a writer by chance and a chef because it's something I love. I'm currently writing my second novel, which is the second book in The Lost City series. I hope you all enjoy my first novel and continue on with the series when the rest are released.
2. Now? Tell us about your book(s).
The book is entitled, The Lost City: Drake’s Revenge. It’s my first book and it’s available on Amazon, B&N, Kobo and Apple.
It focuses on Drake’s quest for revenge, but it also follows him as he grows and learns that sometimes there’s to life than just revenge.
