Interviewee(s)
Tim Stretton

Introduction

Tim Stretton has written three books - The Zael Inheritance , Dragonchaser and his latest Dog of the North all of which have crackingly good story lines, but all have been written in different styles to suit the plot and the relationships between the characters. So I put a few questions to him which he has answered in depth. Enjoy!


Interview

VW: What inspired you to write in the Fantasy genre?

TS: Like most writers, I set out to write the kinds of book I enjoyed reading. Back when I formulated an ambition to be a writer, in my early teens, that was pretty much exclusively fantasy and science fiction. As a reader my tastes are much broader now, but my default setting as a writer has already been fixed. As a teenager I wanted to write like Jack Vance, a giant of the fantasy and science fiction field; as an adult, I now realise how impossible that aspiration is, but it still works away somewhere under the surface.

Review

This is a cleverly written book that is heavily dialogued base which I really like. Once I got into it I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to know what was happening next and would our main characters Lamarck and Taslana survice until the end!

Review

How does he do it - Tim Stretton has now written three books all very different from each other and with very different subject matter? Not too many authors can write in one genre - in this case the world of fantasy - and come up with three very different writing styles. I believe that Tim has done it and very well too.
