Adalyn Grace asked Bridget Tyler:

What sci fi books do you feel have most influenced your writing? Have any of them directly influenced how you wrote The Pioneer?

Bridget Tyler Interesting question. I think there are shades of John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Anne McCaffrey, Suzanne Collins, Joss Wheton, and Lois McMasters Bujold in my general voice and attitude towards world building and character forward story telling. The style of the Pioneer is pretty heavily influenced by my television writing past. Screenplays are all written in present tense and can be quite poetic, since you're trying to give the reader (and all the people who have to put the story on screen) a sense of your intention and the characters actions and emotions in the fewest possible words. I think that's really influenced my prose - I hope in an interesting and good way.
