Q&A
The author will answer selected reader questions submitted to the website Contact page. Here are a few to get started.
Why did you choose Sorglos as the name for the main character?
Sorglos means carefree in German. Having a name that was unique, memorable, and pronounceable was the goal.
Why didn’t you set the story on Earth?
A whole new world allows an author to stretch his imagination and not be bound to a historically accurate picture.
What is the message that your book intends to convey?
To engage readers with a positive future despite the problems that life throws at them. Too many YA fantasy-adventure stories paint a dystopian fate for humanity.
