Featured Interview With Murray Blehart
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in the ‘burbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. After college on the East Coast, I remained in New York and New Jersey. Currently, I still live in NJ, just east of Philadelphia with my wife and two feline overlords (cats, if you must).
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I don’t recall what age I became fascinated with books, but I know I was young. My parents took me to see Star Wars (now Episode IV – A New Hope) when I was almost 5. I wrote my first 50 page, illustrated sci-fi novel when I was 9 years old.
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 different genres, but mostly sci-fi and fantasy, as well as self-help/mindfulness/self-awareness, psychology and science books. I read every morning for about an hour, two books at a time – one fiction, one nonfiction. Favorite authors include Paulo Coelho, Neil Gaiman, Lindsay Buroker, Alex White, and many many others. I love to read, love to learn, and feel it’s an essential part of my life.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I am working on a new sci-fi series called Savagespace that was plotted out as 6 books, but might be 3 or 5 books, if I combine a couple (debating if they should be approximately 200 pages or 400 pages each). I’m also plotting another fantasy book (series?) and another sci-fi book. Lots more to come!
