Interview from Enduring Romance (Part 2 of 2)
Today wraps up the interview I did with Kimber An of Enduring Romance, a blog where you can find book reviews, author interviews, really cool articles, and it's the home of the world-famous Cyber Launch Book Parties. Kimber An graciously hosted a Cyber Launch Book Party for MLTF. It was a blast! Prior to the party, Kimber An asked me a few questions. The link to Enduring Romance is in the LINKS list to the right, as is a link to her personal blog Star Captains' Daughter. Kimber An's review of MLTF and my Cyber Launch Book Party are in the "June archives" of Enduring Romance. Enjoy!
What experience do you hope readers will take away from reading MAGIC LOST, TROUBLE FOUND?
I hope they have fun. That's all. Just fun. There's too much depressing crap going on in the world to have to put up with that in a book. I just want to give my readers a couple of days or hours (some of you have plowed right through it), of pure escapist fun. I cut my fantasy-writing teeth on David Eddings, Raymond Feist and Terry Brooks. I LOVED their characters. These were people you wanted to hang out with, and couldn't wait to visit again in the next book. I've had people tell me they felt that way about the characters in MLTF. That is the highest praise anyone could give me. That's my purpose right there.
Can you tell us a little bit about your next novel, ARMED AND MAGICAL? When is it due out?
Armed & Magical is due out in May of next year. It picks up a couple of days after MLTF ends. Needless to say, Raine isn't going to catch up on her sleep anytime soon. Let's see. . .by the end of page three, Raine's already got big problems--an assassination attempt on the archmagus, an encounter with an enemy from her past, and an entirely too public display of her Saghred-enhanced powers. Later. . .Tam has not one, but two, deep dark secrets from his past that he'd rather keep buried. (Of course they don't stay that way.) Piaras is now a Conclave college student studying spellsinging, and that voice of his attracts way too much of the wrong kind of attention. Mychael has his hands full with Raine, and with trying to keep her from falling prey to the darkest side of the Saghred. Let the fun continue!
