For your influences you mention Tolkien, Herbert and Austen, great writers all. My question is this, the differences between them are largely apparent but what do you see as the similarities that make them collectively your influences? As a reader I like them all and can say it is simply because they all tell wonderful stories within very fleshed out worlds, but what does a writer see as a connecting thread?
Lisa Shea
As you can probably tell by the library of books I've written, I like all types of styles. I write medieval romance, cozy mystery, dystopian, science fiction, and more. So the authors I enjoy are equally diverse. Each has their own unique way of bringing their universe to life. It's not that those three authors are similar as much as that each one is wonderful at what they do. They each influence me in wholly different ways. What I adore about Austen's books is quite different from what I adore about Tolkein's worlds :).
