It’s totally a mad teenage power fantasy that’s followed me deep into adulthood, but to be a footloose adventurer who lives by my wits and my sword? The wild barbarian in me lives for it – but luckily, the stodgy suburban armchair antiquarian in me is firmly in control.Ĥ) Have you ever had a side character try to steal the show? Would you like to go back and make a spin off series or something for them? Or is there a theme or idea you’d love to be able to explore in more depth?
That’s a medium I’ve had no luck getting translated into, so far.ģ) If you could be any character from any book you have ever read who would you be? And Why?Ĭonan of Cimmeria, from the imagination of Robert E. Right now, there are no plans beyond an e-book release. This new release from Crossroad Press is my chance to rectify that.Ģ) Will Memnon be available as a physical book or audiobook? If so do you know when? For Memnon that meant very few reviews, poor distribution, and no chance to reach the readership it deserved. Books like that are known as “orphans”, and the result is pretty typical: without a strong partisan, orphans tend to get left by the way-side. But, it debuted at a time when my previous editor left the company and my new editor didn’t have the same passion for it. It was my second novel, released in the summer of 2006 by a small publisher called Medallion Press.
Memnon, you see, is a twelve year old book. Otherwise, it’s simply a new cover and a newly formatted interior … and a chance to connect with a new generation of readers. Text-wise, there’s only a slight bit of difference – mainly to correct my criminal misuse of semi-colons. What is different from the previous version?
Well you know me, they are questions at any rate.ġ) Memnon was just re-released under a new publisher. I will be asking him the important and hard hitting questions. Today I am sitting down with historical fiction and historical fantasy author Scott Oden for an interview.
