Featured Interview With B.A. White
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My pen name is B.A. White. I use a pen name to distinguish my books from other authors with the name of Barbara White. I was born in Iowa but have lived in Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado. I now reside back in a small town in southern Iowa once again with my husband, two of my four children and a yapping Miniature Pinscher.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have been an avid reader since I first started reading in first grade. I always had a book to read when I wasn’t involved with other activities. I actually started writing short stories as a teenager but as my interest grew so did the length of my stories. I didn’t seriously begin writing my first book which was titled Underdark Awakenings until I was in my mid twenties. Over the span of several years, while raising my children and organizing a home, I wrote a series of 5 books which unfortunately will never be published since they were lost due to unfortunate circumstances. After a few years, I began writing again and have published two out of the three books I have completed in the Shadow Lords Series. The third is set to be published in May of 2020.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite genre to read and to write is fantasy. I prefer epic, urban and some dark fantasy. My first favorite authors were Weiss and Hickman and the Dragon Lance Series. After that I went on to read Terry Brooks’ Shanara series. Through the years I have enjoyed the writings of Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, David and Leigh Eddings and especially R.A. Salvatore and the Dark Elf Series. Just recently I have discovered a promising Indie author named Richard H. Stephens and his Soul Forge Saga.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book that is published is Shadows of Light, which is the sequel to the first book Shadows of Night, and is the second book in the Shadow Lords Series. Book three, Shadows of Twilight will be published in May of 2020. The fourth in the series, Shadows of Midnight, is in progress and hopefully to be ready for publication in 2021.
