Warren Dean asked R. James Stevens:

Who are your favourite authors, and which of them has been the biggest influence on your writing?

R. James Stevens I'm a sucker for the classically-written novels - so in that vain, authors such as Asimov or Tolkien always tend to shape the way I lay out a story and narrate it. It's tough to do these days, as a lot of readers want to be spoon-fed or expect a nice, tidy wrap-up in a limited time frame. I don't usually let that deter me. I write what I like to read, so expect a deep, complex experience in anything I release.
