What inspired you to write ERAMANE?
I really don’t remember. It was over ten years ago when the idea
popped in my head. I think I was driving in my car. But that’s the awesome
thrill of being a writer, when those great ideas just peek-a-boo in on you.
What are some of your favourite books/authors?
The Hobbit, anything
from Poe or King, I added a new fav when I read The Hunger Games, Ann Rice has a special place in my heart, and I
read every single R.L Stein book I could get my hands on when I was a kid.
How did you get in to writing?
From reading, there is something about a really great book that
takes hold of you and won’t let go, and you find yourself thinking, “Man, I want
to create something that awesome too!”
What do you like to do other than write?
I love listening to music and hanging with my family. I like
catching a movie here and there. I really like to drink coffee and think about
writing. Umm, does that count?
Did you listen to music when you wrote ERAMANE, and if so, who were some of the
artists?
I sure did. But the experience of music is so individual, and
tagging Eramane with the music that helped inspire me to write it might spoil
the experience for others. It might not be that big of a deal, I don’t know.
How long did it take to write ERAMANE?
Well like I said, the idea came to me over ten years ago. I
began writing immediately but not steadily. I didn’t actually finish it until
2005. Then I sat on it for several years before deciding to publish. And there
were some developmental changes made during the editing process, but for the
most part my initial story remained. So in short…haha…about 13 years. Don’t
worry though; book two is moving along at a much faster rateJ
Did you have the whole trilogy planned before
you began writing book #1?
Not even close. I know how I want ERAMANE to end, and I know
certain things that I want to happen in the story, certain things that have to happen, and with that I will
take her to the end…the path is plotted daily.
