Nox asked Joseph Delaney:

Thank you so much replying! Of course I read Arena 13, and the Starblade Chronicles and I loved them too! I usually read books by foreign authors in English, most of the time because I cannot wait for the translation to be published (and I prefer reading the author's true words rather than a translation). So I would be really glad if you could give me/us the title of a book you love or that inspired you? Thank you!

Joseph Delaney Lord of the Rings is the book that ultimately made me want to write. Tolkien is my favourite author because he created a complex fantasy world full of very interesting characters. It could be said that he began the fantasy genre and has had many imitators who still write about elves and orcs etc. I really enjoy reading his work.
