Hey everyone, great news! I was honored by Atmosphere Press to be a part of their author interview series. I had a lot of fun answering the questions they provided, and got to shed light on the motivations and inspirations behind my writing journey. I’ve added a sneak peak of that below, but if you want the full interview you’ll have to click the button below and head on over to their website.
As promised, here is that sneak peak:
Tell us the story of your book’s current title. Was it easy to find, or did it take forever?
Oooh! This is an easy one. So, I am onto the third book (Bloodstone Bound) in my epic fantasy adventure series, Gods Adrift. Within this world I have crafted, there are fragments of shattered gods. Think chunks of Poseidon or Zeus scattered about the world like gemstones, and for some of the denizens of Telaea they can ‘speak’ or ‘commune’ with these fragments of the now shattered gods. This latest installment of the series focuses on vengeance as a central theme, and one of the gods of this world named Magdris, a combination of Mars and Ares with some strong consonants added in, draws its power from blood and war. As you can imagine, a person who allows vengeance to consume them may find themselves to be Bloodstone Bound. I’ll let your imagination decide how I will put that into action.
WordPress won’t let me delete this heading for some reason. So, hello, welcome to a unnecessary heading!
Well, that’s all I got for today. As a final treat, I added this pic containing a lump of jagged red ruby. I know that the interview question talked about stuff being ‘Bloodstone Bound’ but I assure you this pic has NOTHING to do with that. In NO WAY does this bloody looking stone have ANYTHING to do with the theme or the potential plots therein. Nope, nothing to see here, besides an oddly beautiful rock that almost reminds you of … blood 😉
If you liked what you read here, why don’t you consider subscribing to my newsletter? I send out monthly messages and the occasional big-news update. If you really liked my writing, I wrote a couple of full-fledged novels for you to check out: “Shards of Ember” and “The Godstone Decree.” Both of these are available on Amazon or, upon request, at your local bookstore. Whatever you decide, I hope to see you here again. Take care!
