Trish Stanton asked Robert Evert:

What writers first inspired you to write or inspire your writing today?

Robert Evert Hey Trish!! Sorry for the delay. Who inspired me to write? That's easy... Tolkien. I really got swept away by the Lord of the Rings. Being a very shy, anti-social kid, his books made me feel as though I belonged somewhere. After I read them (over and over again), I started writing fan fiction about me in Bree or the Shire or the Trollshaws. Eventually, I started writing my own stuff!!!

Thanks for the question!!!! Maybe someday I'll inspire somebody to write their own books!
