MWG Writes on Q June 2015 Featured Author Hans Victor von Maltzahn By: Samna Ghani Regional Editor, Health Management.org; Author with Books to Go Now and Laurus Publishing. Hans Victor von Maltzahn is the author of THE BLACK SUN ASCENDANT: An Assassins Tale (2011). Hans was born in Dublin, Ireland, and raised in North York, Ontario, Canada. An author of poetry and non-fiction, Hans became serious about fiction in 2006 when he started to write the Black Sun book series. He has just completed AN EARTH ECLIPSED: An Assassin’s Revenge (2014), Book Two in the series, and has begun the last book in the series, tentatively entitled, A BRILLIANT DAWN: An Assassin’s Redemption. In an exclusive interview, Hans shares his thoughts and feelings about writing and the writing process. Enjoy! Why do you write? I write for fun and creativity. I also enjoy seeing people pick up my books and become enthralled by their stories; that for me is the most satisfying of feelings, that I can capture a reader’s imagination with a story that I have produced - that’s what keeps me writing!
