Author Interview with Daniel Darcey
ULM: Do you have a new release coming
up? If so, can you share with us readers
what it is and what it’s about?
DD: I have 2 prequels in various stages of
development. A total of 3 in all. Sequels will be
started next year.
ULM: How did you get started in writing
science fiction/fantasy novels?
DD: It was a very long road. And several full
rewrites. A lot of world building for this
particular epic. It all started when I wanted to
fuse my 2 favorite stories together. You can
see them in my first novel. The Little Mermaid
by Hans Christen Andersen, and the Hunt for
the Red October by Tom Clancy. Then the
story evolved from there.
ULM: I noticed your are self-published.
How many of your books are published on
Amazon so far?
DD: So far I have 4 published novels on
Amazon, in both ebook and print.
-Kingdoms and Empires - Dark Rage
-Kingdoms and Empires - Rise of the
Federation
-Kingdoms and Empires - Trinity Tales
-Kingdoms and Empires - Redemption
ULM: What is it like being an indie writer?
DD: Very interesting an experience.
ULM: As a writer, what are your New Year
goals, if any?
I am going to write my 3 prequels and get
them out onto Amazon by the end of 2020.
The names of them will be:
-Kingdoms and Empires - The Dance of Light
and Darkness
-Kingdoms and Empires - Wings of the
Warbird
-Kingdoms and Empires - The Winds of Time
ULM: Out of all your books thus far, which
one was the most fun to write? Which
group of characters did you enjoy creating
the most?
DD: It is super hard to chose between the 4 i
have so far. But I would say that the fourth
novel (Kingdoms and Empires - Redemption)
would be it. My characters I took pride in
designing and fleshing out.
ULM: As an indie writer, what advice would
you give to inspiring to be writers?
DD: It is a very long and hard road, but it will
be worth it once you see your hard work in
print. Just don’t have too many high
expectations. And be smart about what you
do with your work.
ULM: What are some of the toughest parts
you have experienced as an author, if any?
How did you over come them?
DD: Having to editor and rewrite your work. It
requires a lot or reading and rereading of your
own work. And to have others look it over to
help. Always be ready to accept criticism.
ULM: In three words, how would you
describe your writing style?
DD: On The Fly
ULM: Where can readers connect with you
online? Where can they find your books?
DD: I’m usually on twitter and facebook , I’m
also open to talk about my novels and my
process. I can even offer some help as well for
other authors.
