Tell us about "Hilia's Road" series
This current series was partly inspired by revisiting the "Lisa Herbert" series, my early SF series. Instead of SF this series is fantasy. Another inspiration was all the books I've recently written in Roman and posts-Roman fantasy worlds. That's all I can think of for now, but I'm always happy to answer more questions about this or any of my books.
 
Share a favorite line:
From book 1: I remember the first time I saw magic. Not the results of magic, as some of you might be familiar with. No, I mean the first time I actually saw it.
 
Share a core memory that made you want to be a writer:
I read "Asimov on Science Fiction" around 1980. I realize now that it gave me the idea of channeling my imagination into something productive, writing fiction.
 
What is the most challenging aspect of being an author for you?
Marketing. I'm always trying to figure out how to promote my books & find readers.
 
What piece of advice do you have for a new author?
Make your process sustainable, and have fun.
 
What do you need to set the mood for writing?
Music, either classical or instrumental soundtracks.
