Interview with D. M. Almond, Author of Trollin’

What’s the story behind the story? What impressed you to write down Trollin’ -or- The Life & Times of Kwajo Vance, Troll?

The story facilities round a troll who has been raised by people however is now thrust into the broader world. I had this concept of a world that shaped round a celestial dragon that went into hibernation and questioned who would populate these lands. What type of adventures would they rise up to? This troll Kwadjo (Quay-Joe) took cost of these adventures. He’s the unlikely hero that world must depend on to save lots of them.

If you needed to decide theme songs for the principle characters of Trollin’ -or- The Life & Times of Kwajo Vance, Troll, what would they be?

I’d say Metric – Risk for Kwadjo, although I’m certain he’d dig the Cure too & IAMX – Happiness for Baddigan. She’s an industrial fan as properly.

What’s your favourite style to learn? Is it the identical as your favourite style to write down?

Fantasy. I like nothing greater than dropping myself in one other world the place magic is alive and fantastical creatures abound.

My TBR pile is huge, however the prime layer proper now could be: The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn, World Without End, The Hod King, The Stand (reread), and Echo Burning.

What scene in your ebook was your favourite to write down?

I loved writing the scene the place Kwadjo’s mom is within the tavern listening in on some unruly badgers having amusing. Also, actually loved Kwadjo’s scene the place he casts his first spell.

Do you may have any quirky writing habits? (fortunate mugs, cats on laps, and so on.)

I prefer to yodel on my rooftop earlier than I sit down to write down for the day. Kind of. I imply I don’t truly yodel. And my roof is simply too steep to face on. But I do sit down to write down every day.

Do you may have a motto, quote, or philosophy you reside by?

“Waka waka waka” – F. Bear Esq.

If you would select one factor for readers to recollect after studying your ebook, what wouldn’t it be?

It’s not straightforward being inexperienced.
