Beth and I get to chat with Dyrk Ashton & Richard Nell about their unique debut trilogies. They also talk about the anxiety of writing their sequel series, the difficulties that self-publishing puts on writers in general as well as dealing with reader expectations. Plus a lot more fun.

FBC Video Interview Series: Authors & Their Favourite Books, Richard Nell speaks about DUNE (interviewed by Mihir Wanchoo)
Hello everyone, today we are starting a new series of author interviews. This is the ATFB series, Authors & Their Favourite Books. This series is inspired by hearing about authors talk about what books inspired them to become wordsmiths in their own right. I've always been intrigued by several authors who mentioned several different books in their email interviews.
This lead to the birth of this video interviews and I've to specially thank Richard Nell for his time and willingness to be my first guin interviewee. He chose Frank Herbert's DUNE and so we chatted about its inception, Frank Herbert's intentions, the impact of this seminal work on the genre & much, much more...
So it's my sincere hope that you enjoy this conversation and please feel free to let us know what you think either in the comments below or comments on the Youtube video.

This is
hard, and damn you to hell. I’ve been reading almost everything more than SFF
this year, but here we go:
1) Altered Carbon, Richard K Morgan.
Hey, it was new to me. Takeshi Kovaks is somewhat famous by now, but the story
of a ‘re-sleeved’ detective/commando resurrected to solve the murder of an
immortal’s disposable body by his new body…well, I found the creativity on
display just astounding.
2) Cradle, Will Wight. One of the
bigger names in the self-published world. Cradle walks the edge of ‘litrpg’ and
epic fantasy, about a boy who grows constantly in power in a hierarchical world
(universe?) utterly ruled by it. Fast reading that leaves you wanting more.
3) A Brightness Long Ago, Guy Gavriel
Kay. Another display of Kay’s mastery, this book is only barely fantasy. It’s a
world reminiscent of renaissance Italy, dominated by city-states and mercenary
warlords plotting their yearly campaigns, and full of bittersweet, beautiful
glimpses of life.
4) Devil’s Cape, Rob Rogers. Have you
ever played City of Heroes? No? What the hell am I talking about? OK yes, I am a
video-game nerd. Well, Devil’s Cape is a superhero story more in the vein of
Watchmen than Marvel. It’s ‘real’, it’s dark, and it’s fantastic.
5) The Long Way Down, Craig Schaefer. This
book/author deserves a spot because it’s Urban Fantasy and I enjoyed it. That
may not sound like much, but…I do not generally enjoy urban fantasy, and all
previous attempts have been disastrous. Not so here! It’s fast, atmospheric,
with enough style to be memorable. If you’d like to break into the genre, this
is a good start.
Looking
ahead to 2020
Like the
rest of the fantasy world, I await Mr. Martin’s The Winds of Winter, probably
in vain. Unlike most of the fantasy world, however, my sympathies lie
with Mr. Martin. I believe we’ll be getting a new book by Django Wexler (Ashes Of The Sun), which is always good news. Oh! And Age of Death by Michael
Sullivan, a fantastic writer, and guru of the self-published world.
On the
Horizon for Richard Nell
The third
and final book in my Ash and Sand series (Kings Of Heaven) arrives on Amazon in
early 2020. It’s the conclusion to 6 years of labour and love (I published book
1 in 2017, but started writing the series in 2013), and I
must say that statement brings mixed emotions. Like any good ending, it should
be glorious and bittersweet, and I can’t wait to share it with readers. After
that? Who knows. But there are knights and demons and an impatient God-King
waiting, and a few more projects besides, one of which I also hope to release
in 2020…
About
the author
