Vaughn R. Demont:
I noticed you've been thanking bands in your acknowledgements for Broken Mirrors. Is music that big an influence? Why artists instead of authors? Who are you listening to for Book 5?
Vaughn R. Demont
I do read, but it's usually for fun. A lot of my writing ideas come from trope research, looking into reader expectations, and a lot of that is from taking in lots of different media, like books, comics, movies, TV shows, video games, because readers don't just read nowadays. They've got multimodal literacy that you have to respect and appreciate.
Mostly I thank various artists because it's who I listen to while I'm writing, and it generally ends up being techno, electronica, house, trance, ambient, chill, shoegaze... the list goes on, really.
For book 5, I'm mostly listening to Crywolf, The Glitch Mob, BT, Celldweller, ODESZA... They're all amazing artists, and usually either cheap on Amazon. :)
