In Sorcery & Sin in the Second World: A Tale of Two, a couple who enter a mysterious portal are ripped apart, one imprisoned and one forced to marry an evil sorcerer, must face perilous quests in order to reunite. Where did the idea for this novel come from?

Some of the idea came from reading classical novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs like the Princess of Mars and Tarzan series, but also from all of the sword and sandal movies in the 1980s like Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja just to name a few. I’ve always wanted to create my own sword and fantasy world.

Do you have a favorite character in this novel? One that was especially enjoyable to write?

It’s hard to pick a favorite character because there are aspects of each one that I like such as Rena’s resilience, Kana’s toughness, or Pal’s ability to deal with all of the B. S. whether it be in the first or second world. My favorite character to write is probably Garneth because although he’s wise like Yoda or Gandalf, he’s also a grumpy old man with a potty mouth and flaws. It makes it more fun to me that he’s not pefect.

What was your hardest scene to write?

The sex scenes can be difficult because I want to entice the reader with a bit of eroticism but at the same time convey the characters’ thoughts and emotions during them to give it some heart.

Can we look forward to a third installment in this series soon? Where will it take readers?

I’m aiming to have the third installment done by the end of this year/beginning of next. I’m thinking of Rena and Pal having more time together rather than apart but also show Rena and Kana dealing with each other because of their closeness to Pal.
