Featured Interview With William J Crisel
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in South Carolina but raised the first five years of my life in Misawa Japan, after which I came back to the States. Washington state was the first state I lived but I soon made my way back to Charleston South Carolina at the age of ten it’s the place in which I reside today.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I would say around five to seven years old, though I got the idea I wanted to write around ten and I began writing around age seventeen. Only recently have I published.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Stephen King, I also loved Edgar Allan Poes work, as well as Shakespeare and Homers Odyssey. All held some influence for me right from the moment I read their works.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is a dark fantasy about a fairy who goes on long epic journey. A journey filled with hardship and struggle. She pushes forward so as she can see her goals through to the end. The book was written with teens, young adults as well as adults in mind. The book while not a long read is a very detailed tale where the environment seems to cone alive and interact with the main character. It took me two years to write it and a year to make sure it would be a story that would pull the readers in. Currently I’m working on thr sequel but I’m uncertain as to when it will be ready.
