She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live.
– Annie Dillard |
A Montanan Native living in Idaho. Writing, Reading, Music, and Theatre are his passions, he is also rather fond of delicious food and drink. He lives with his wife and twin girls. Myrrendryl is his first book. Where do you get your ideas for your books? Who or what inspired your idea? KL: Dreams and a little life experience. How did you develop the plot and your characters? Are your characters based on anyone? KL: The characters build themselves, they tell me what is going to happen, sometimes even I'm surprised. Do you write when you're inspired? Or do you have a schedule you keep to? KL: Mostly when I'm inspired, but I do try to write 1k a week. Do you have any advice for aspiring authors? Maybe a piece of advice that stuck with you from your adventure into the world of publishing? KL: Don't be afraid to kill off your characters. Don't judge yourself too harshly, others will do that for you. Tell us a bit more about yourself. How did you know you wanted to be a writer? Who or what inspires you to write? KL: I just picked up a pen and the movie reel took over. How much of yourself goes into your writing? Or do you keep yourself separate and base the character on someone else entirely? KL: A little or a lot of me goes into all my characters. What has helped shape and improve your writing? KL: Critiques and Practice. What are you reading right now? Do you recommend it or have any other recommendations? KL: I am reading the 6th Book in The Matthew Corbett series by Robert McCammon. I would absolutely recommend it and this author in general. I am also reading Galilee by Clive Barker, in my opinion, his weakest novel. Do your novels carry a message or do you feel it's subjective? KL: Definitely subjective. What works best for you: Typewriters, fountain pen, dictate, computer or longhand? KL: I write everything on my cellphone. Title: Myrrendryl Genre: Fantasy Publication Date: January 18, 2019 Pages: 400 Add to GoodReads Buy: Amazon The curtain, the veil, the void, the abyss. So many names for the mystery of the beyond. People spend a good part of their lives just wanting to lift the heavy canvas of the circus tent and take a peek inside. Eventually they’ll know, in the end, we all know, but mankind is an impatient beast. Sadly, for most, if they ever could pull aside that curtain, they would spend the rest of their lives trying to forget that they ever had.
Myrrendryl tells the tale of four seemingly unconnected youth bound to one another in a way none of them could have guessed and knowing would threaten to shatter their very existence. The hands of fate appear to play them like marionettes, but are they truly controlled by fate? Or are they their own masters? A story that questions what is real, and what is the sands of dreams. A story ultimately, about the human condition and what deep down, we are willing to sacrifice.
