Seth: 7 books. My best seller is Ben Gamer out of all my books. Would love for it to get on a best sellers list.

Ena: As author, I think it'd be a big deal to have a chance to write a short film or movie, if you had the opportunity to rewrite one movie script which would it be, why?

Ena: How did you decide the pricing of your material; how did you go about promotion/advertising and distribution of your work?

Seth: I determine on the size of book and how long it is. I do social media for promoting. Facebook Instagram and YouTube. My books are all on Amazon and amazon kindle. Which helps me a lot. I really count on my fans to spread the word through word of mouth.

Ena: Hundreds of thousands of books floating around, the Million-dollar question, why should anyone read your book?

Seth: People should my book. Because it's a different world I've created. I've made a world where Gamers goes into the gaming world where they can become solider, nightmare, assassin, alien, sports, robot, or super hero gamers. In each book they'll learn a lesson from each story. In a way it has changed my life and it can for everyone who reads it.
