Featured Interview With Lewis Crow
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born, raised, and still live in Texas. Since I was a child, I’ve had a fascination with ships and the sea–unusual, since I grew up hundreds of miles from the nearest seashore. I’ve built dozens of ship model kits in my time, too.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I had a mother who loved to read and taught me to do so. Sometime in my early teen years, I started cranking out two-paragraph ghost stories on an electric typewriter.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read a lot of Clive Cussler in my teens and 20s. I guess adventure fiction is my favorite–stuff like Cussler, Clancy, Alasdair MacLean. And of course, Jules Verne.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
The Nautilus Legacy is sequel of sorts to Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Mysterious Island. I chose to set it in the same universe Verne used, rather than “borrowing” the character to create a new story or universe for. And it was a challenge. I had to find a loophole in Verne’s text in order for my story to be possible. Fortunately, I did, and I created one of my own. That was all I needed. I like to sum up the book as “the autobiography of Captain Nemo’s son.”
