Featured Interview With Jason Hein
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My name is Jason Hein, and I am a self published author of medieval fantasy books. I have a 4 book series as well as a prequel to the series, two short companion books to the series with poetry and short stories, a stand alone novel set in the same world, and an unrelated poetry book.
I live in the central US out in the country and have a couple dogs, a cat, and raise goats and sheep. I enjoy the country and would love to travel more, specifically to Ireland as a large part of my ancestry came from Ireland.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I started writing around 10 or 11 years old. I remember watching a movie where a girl, at the end of the movie, decided she was going to write a story about her experience that summer. It was as if it suddenly clicked in my head that, “Anyone can write a story.”
I got up from that movie and went to grab a paper and pencil. I’ve been writing ever since.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Tolkien and C.S Lewis are definitely some of my favorite authors and big inspirations. Andrew Peterson’s Wingfeather Saga is an amazing literary work as well.
As far as genre goes, I definitely enjoy Fantasy the most, but science fiction is a close second.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book, The Axion, A Varsian Kingdom Adventure, is a medieval fantasy about a human Phoenix, a dwarf, and a wyvern that go off in search of an ancient artifact of great power. Legends from the after life tell of the Axion Orb, and a staff that houses it, being capable of transporting people not only across realms, but from one planet to the next.
On their journey of exploration the trio discovers the Realm of Duality, but the land is dying. Setting their own exploration aside they are quickly swept up in a race against time to try and save the kingdom. As it turns out, the Axion itself, is the only hope for the doomed kingdom.
