Featured Interview With Ian Vroon
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in Italy. Italy! Whew, that was a long time ago…I live in Colorado now. Life is better here. For one thing, I’m married to the love of my life. So there’s that. For another thing, I love the clear skies and lack of smog—I mean, Italy was beautiful. (coughs) I just like being able to breathe.
I want a pet snake sometime. And a pet Venus Fly Trap. I want to feed the first one mice and the second one flies. That would be extremely entertaining.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I started writing since as long as I can remember. Writing has always been huge for me. I love to invent stories—and people enjoy my creativity! Or so I’ve been told. I’m a bit ADD, so daydreaming about the worlds I’d invent often took priority over school.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors to read? Some Tolkein, Lewis, C.S. Friedman and Karen Hancock. A lot of Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti. My major inspiration is God and the awesome world he created. This planet is so cool!
Tell us a little about your latest book?
They woke up seven years ago with no memory. They found themselves in a land of glowing flowers, mushroom houses and psychedelic spores. They have only dreams, flashbacks—fragments of thoughts they can’t explain.
But now the land is withering. Mushrooms are crumbling to ash, trees turning to mush—and no one knows why.
Enter the aiethepa spore. This fungus grows fast and thick throughout Ayphae. No one knows what it does, and no one can open it. Some blame it for the withering—others think it will breathe life into the land.
Paths cross, and an alliance is born: the three with lost memories, a field scientist, a ranger-turned-speaker and a pragmatic politician. But can they find the problem—before it’s too late?
