I write epic fantasy so that readers can embark on an adventure, explore a new world and stretch their imaginations.
I write epic fantasy to explore life's big themes, in a world entirely of my own creation. How do we give our lives purpose? How do we react to change and uncertainty? What decisions do we make when faced with life or death questions? How do we find hope in the midst of despair?
I write epic fantasy so that readers can travel without leaving their armchairs. I can create a world that you could believe exists. I can lead you across mountains, along the banks of wild rivers and through vast forests - and I can give them all names.
I write epic fantasy so that I can explore the stories of different people - all with their own motivations, fears, strengths and weaknesses. I can send them on epic adventures and watch them grow. In the end they become old friends, or enemies.
I write epic fantasy because it's fun. Because we all need a bit of escapism.
I write epic fantasy because we need stories - and stories need us.
Why do you read epic fantasy?
