guest interview with Ty Langston

Hello, thanks for agreeing to be a guest blogger on my site. Could you please tell us about yourself?
Hey Jack, thanks for having me on your site. I was born and raised in Upstate, New York. Currently single, my parents live with me and I have a sister, in Beaumont, TX and a brother in California.

How long have you been writing?Since I was about 6-7. I loved reading, especially a lot of fantasy stories and it was in the summer where I had this idea after reading one of them that I could write one too, so I told my grandmother who simply said to 'just write' and I've been hooked ever since.

What authors would you say are your biggest influences?
So many, I love C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, I like Stephen King. I love erotica also. So many. But my favorite writers are screenwriters, Michael Hirst (creator of The Tudors) and the late John Hughes (who wrote, Home Alone, Breakfast Club, and Sixteen Candles.) Both write very relatable characters.





How did you find the road to getting published?
Actually I didn't really start until two years ago. I had only tried twice before that and the experience wasn't bad at all. The publishers were in fact very positive, what I had sent them, just wasn't for them.



Tell us about your book?
By Sunset is Book I of the Dragon Races Tale. It's about two warring royal families who race dragons through the galaxy to retrieve a pair of pink and black Diamonds on earth. Does it go smoothly? No. There are some spoilers but this is the 1st of three maybe four books about Royals of Tacorian and Kergan.



Where do you see yourself as an author this time next year?
I hope to see myself having more books out. I'm writing the sequel now, to By Sunset, called By Moonlight and I have two other contemporary romance novels ready to go along with a werewolf series I started this summer for now, tentatively titled "The District."



Anything else you'd like to share?
I'd like to thank everyone's who has supported me over the last couple of years. Especially my critique partners, Carole and Jill.
The Lazy Day team has also been amazing. We have such a great group that I know all of us will have a long future with them.
By Sunset will be released on December 1st by LazyDay Publishing!
