I'm thinking of making a little book of inspirational quotes to carry around with me and I've found the majority of them to have come from you. Firstly, I'd like to ask permission, even though my aim is to use it selfishly for my eyes only, not for publishing. Second, I would like to ask where it is that your inspiration for the books comes from. They were such an inspiration to me so third is a simple thank you. ?
Jeff Wheeler
Hi Sam: thanks for your questions and your thank you. I appreciate it. I'd encourage you to search the origins for the quotes in my books. Most of them come from quotes I've modified from historical sources. You don't need permission to quote Socrates or Seneca! Second, I get my inspiration from a variety of sources, mostly other books that I've read and history that I've studied. And third, you're welcome!

Recent HUGE fan of yours, I mean I blasted through the first half of Kingfountain and both Muirwood trilogies in just over a month while working a full-time office job. I'm reading all your books in the order you suggested on your website and I'm currently about halfway through Fireblood (which I LOVE already), so my question here is: based on some shared themes and terms, are all your worlds connected somehow??

Hi Jeff Wheeler! I'm an aspiring author, and I would like to ask you a few questions about writing my book. First, what would you name a fourteen-year-old boy who lives in medieval times? (He's my protagonist) Second, how would I make my antagonist a compelling, dangerous bad guy? Third, what elements of fantasy make a magical book to you?
