What or whom inspired you to become a writer?
I think writers are born, not made. My theory is that, if you watch closely, people will usually tell you who they are supposed to be by age eight or so. At that point I was penning Bobbsey Twins stories that would be called fanfiction today.
What types of books do you read?
I stay up on PNR. I need to know what other people are doing so that I can avoid that. My interest runs in phases. I spent a decade on the classics, another decade on Anne Rice, Stephen King and other paranomal authors. I spent a long time on nonfiction: religious studies, mythology, Viking sagas, early Germanic poetry, etc.
What well-known authors do you admire most?
Stephen King, Isaac Asimov, Shakespeare, Gloria Steinem
What were your writing habits while writing A Summoner‘s Tale?
Since I run and contribute to a couple of businesses, manage a band, and play Classic Rock sometimes, I write when there's time.
How did you come up with the plot?
This book is the third installment in a serial saga. It was the natural progression of events and life patterns established in the first two books. I can't address your question properly without major spoilers.
What is your favorite part in A Summoner‘s Tale?
The conversation between Istvan Baka and Elora Laiken near the end of the book.
