Hey Michael, I have seen you say in the past that you are a big fan of Stephen King and particularly The Stand. Have you ever thought about writing a horror novel, or more horror oriented novel? Or even fantasy/horror combo?

Hey Nick, Thanks for asking. I have! I have a couple of ideas running around in my head and once I get through the projects I'm pretty far along on, I think I'll give this a try. I know that a lot of people think of me as a "fantasy" writer, but I don't see myself that way. It's just that it was my fantasy that was picked up first. I had written 13 novels before The Crown Conspiracy (my first published book) and several of those were horror. One of my goals is to release a book in all the genres that I'm interested in. Early this year I started that by putting out Hollow World (science fiction). And I have an idea for a mystery/thriller to hit that market. The only ones I don't think I'll do anything in is erotica and romance as I don't think I could create something in those genres that would be successful...it's just not a strong suite of mine. But other genres - absolutely. I like mixing it up and stretching myself by attempting tasks beyond my comfort level. So yeah...by all means I want to do some horror writing. I just need to get some time to do so.
Thanks again for asking.

Hi Michael, which one of your books can you recommend to read first? I usually do not read fantasy novels, but I was quite thrilled by the way you wrote description of your books. Fascinating language, I would even say hypnotizing—it makes one to read more. Thank you in advance, D.

I really don't have a question but wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Age of Swords. The female characters were really well developed and realistically written. I was sad to have it come to an end. Very much looking forward to the next one. Will we have to wait a year for another one?
