Sabrina asked Nicholas Eames:

Hi! I've been meaning to ask you: what inspired you to become a fantasy writer? And would you ever delve into a different genre?

Nicholas Eames Hi Sabri!

Well, it was writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert Jordan that got me interested in writing, but it wasn't until I read Guy Gavriel Kay that I decided to give it a real shot. The writing was so beautiful, and reading his books changed me as a person--they taught me to see beauty in so many things, as corny as that may sound. I was reading the second book of the Sarantine Mosiac (Lord of Emperors) when I decided I wanted to try to affect someone the way he did me.

I would LOVE to write something sci-fi-ish someday, and I'd really like to write for other mediums (comics, video games) as well.

Thanks for the question!
