Karphyshn on ‘Children of Fire’

Drew Karpyshyn wrote a post for Suvudu talking about that magical time between August and September, escaping into fantasy book, and how his writing career has let to Children of Fire.

Now, ten novels and twenty five years later, I’m finally equal to the task. Children of Fire is the culmination of everything I have written and read. It’s the first book in an epic trilogy that pays homage to the classic fantasy authors that kindled the creative spark inside me so long ago. The plot is driven by a kinetic style that reflects my work in video games and my sci-fi action novels. And throughout the work you’ll find dark and disturbing elements inspired by the horror masters that sent chills down my spine and made me sleep with the lights on.

If you like Karpyshyn’s writing, this is one book you will not want to miss.
