You’ve now got a children’s series going. How has writing fiction for children been a different experience for you, either in process or execution?
My children’s series came out of a desire to do something different. I love epic fantasy, but I needed a new kind of project to help keep my writing fresh and give me a break from the same style of narrative. Therefore, my children’s books are an attempt to break completely from my old style and do something new. They’re first person instead of third, quick and short rather than long and epic. They’re humorous rather in tone rather than serious. The world-building is lighthearted. I love the children’s fantasy market because it lets me do all of the above, but still tell the type of story that excites me: interesting magic and setting, deep characters, intricate plot.
