The Domain worships life, its rulers lead eternal lives and death is a shame that must not be mourned. The world of Avarin is tearing itself apart. I’m currently working on book 3 of The Ashes of Avarin: A Twist of Faith.How far would you go to resurrect someone you love? Would you change who you are to show you belong? You need to understand the tools to be able to craft something great.Īre you working on any new books or other projects at the moment? If you only had one piece of advice to give to an aspiring author, what would it be? Spending time with my kids, NFL, MLB, playing guitar, playing Magic the Gathering. What do you enjoy doing outside of writing and reading? The Girl and the Moon by Mark Lawrence and I’m also really enjoying Deathless Beast by Andrew D Meredith. What are some of your favourite recent reads?
The first book I really remember betting hooked by was probably the Hobbit. When did you start reading? And what books/series did you read over and over again? Probably Bayaz from Abercombie’s series because If you could be any fantasy character, who would it be and why? Not sure I can really pinpoint a single one. Always loved the magic, the sword fights, the tactical maneuvering of armies. What elements of fantasy make you like reading and writing in the genre? I always leave myself space to wander off, though. Once I’m happy with what they’ll go through, I start to write. I’m an outliner so I usually jot down the “path” for each character before I start writing. Stories were a means of survival (you want to know what killed the neighboring tribe, and if that big, orange-striped kitty is dangerous or not) and that is ingrained into our brains. That’s why we tell stories since the prehistoric age. For their journey to have meaning, you need to root it in theme. I know it’s a weird answer, but we love characters when we relate to what they’re going through. I try to do various sprints with pauses in between. What does a typical writing day look like for you?ĭepends if I’m drafting or editing, but I’ll usually try to break it up into two sessions if I can.
