Interview with Kevin Nichols, Author of Shadows of Askargaard

What’s the story behind the story? What impressed you to put in writing Shadows of Askargaard?

I can’t appear to stroll from one place to a different with out considering of a narrative. I see a related world. The folks I meet, the issues I’ve seen, they’re all sewn into the material of this collection. The characters I’ve created really feel so private to me as a result of they’re manifestations of the folks that have impacted my life.

If you needed to decide theme songs for the primary characters of Shadows of Askargaard, what would they be?

This one’s simple. For Pug, the MC, it’s a shot at redemption (I just like the Dan Vasc cowl). Varahallas can be Blinding Lights by the Weeknd. Weasel can be Misery Business by Paramore.

Come to assume of it, I’ve subconsciously considered this query fairly a bit.

What’s your favourite style to learn? Is it the identical as your favourite style to put in writing?

Fantasy fiction. Followed carefully by fantasy fiction and fantasy fiction. Love Abercrombie, Buroker, Sapkowski, and of course Sanderson.

What books are in your TBR pile proper now?

Been feeling JD Rossells Ranger of the Titan Wild Series which NewInBooks turned me on to. I feel the second e-book within the collection drops comparatively quickly.

What scene in your e-book was your favourite to put in writing?

Ooph. This is actually not possible to reply. Pug within the area under the rogue metropolis of Askargaard involves thoughts simply because it has Bos’ni the lion in it who’s lowkey my favourite sidekick. Pug in any tavern can be a deal with.

Do you’ve got any quirky writing habits? (fortunate mugs, cats on laps, and so forth.)

Not quirky, however I focus on all my concepts with my brothers, Garrett and Colton, earlier than I write them. Their suggestions is basically priceless. When they get enthusiastic about an thought, I get excited.

Do you’ve got a motto, quote, or philosophy you reside by?

When we go collectively, we go farther.

If you could possibly select one factor for readers to recollect after studying your e-book, what wouldn’t it be?

Quite a bit of folks go their entire lives considering they’re not artistic. I believed that manner myself for the longest time. This notion that some persons are artistic and a few folks aren’t is BS. Creativity is one thing you apply. Whether it’s writing a narrative, inventing a recipe, or telling your children a made up fairy story earlier than bedtime, creativity is one thing you apply and develop.
