Hello Readers,

I am so excited to welcome a close friend of the Backseat blogs and the force behind the new publishing house Riptide, Aleksandr Voinov. We are lucky enough to have him on the site to talk about his writing and be sure to leave a comment and say hello!

If you could pick anyone in the world to be the cover model(s) on your latest release, who would it be?

I think celebrities would get in the way of the images in my head.

What’s your favorite hobby outside of writing?

Reading, teaching, travelling, going to museums and bookshops.

What would constitute your own personal happily ever after?

I’ve got it. Partner, house, mortgage, good job, herb pots on the window shelf. All I’m missing is a pet now.

Do you own an e-reader?

Yes – a Sony Touch and a Kindle.

Why?

I’m running out of space for book cases, and the iPhone screen is too small to read long books on.

What’s the one question you wish people would ask you when you tell them you’re a writer?

I don’t, really. People ask “how do you get so much done” and “are you published” all the time, so they really aren’t new anymore.

How do you answer it?

“I don’t watch TV” and “yeah, since I was 16.”

If you were doomed to spend the rest of your life on an island with only one book, one person, one food (coconuts and fish aside), and one object from the modern world (computer, deodorant, vibrator, etc.), what would they be?

My partner, tablet computer with internet, coffee.

My October 30 release, Dark Soul Vol. 1, is available for pres-sale at Riptide Publishing. Here’s a blurb:

A killer’s moral compass rarely points true, and among made men, being gay is a capital crime. But Silvio Spadaro, deadly prodigy and heir to a Family fortune, is determined to find his own way—at the feet of the man he loves or by the barrel of a gun—no matter the dangers or costs.
