Author Wednesday – Louis Kirby
Author Patricia Zick interviewed me in December but just posted it yesterday on her popular blog site called Writing Whims. In it she asks me such questions about Shadow of Eden such as did my subject choose me?, What author influenced me the most? (you may be surprised), and who is my favorite character?
We spend some time talking about the antagonists in the book, a particular topic about which I am passionate. It takes a really good villain to make a great hero. Think Harry Potter’s Voldemort, Sherlock’s Moriority, and Skywalker’s Darth Vader.
We talked about characterization and what it takes to make a book come alive.
Through this whole time, I got to know and appreciate Patricia’s work and her care in putting out a substantial product day after day. I know that carries itself over into her novels as well. She has well regarded nonfiction and fiction books. You can read about them on her website.
I hope you enjoy the interview and as always, feel free to contact me at lk@louiskirby.com.
