I was a big role playing gamer as well and played a lot of Dungeons & Dragons and was a big computer gamer in the day. Other authors were David Eddings, Terry Brooks and these writers were huge back in those days and that’s what sort of got me started in fantasy. So yeah, I’ve read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and from there, I went onto a lot of the shiny heroic commercial fantasies of the 80’s like Dragonlance. So yeah, a lot of fantasy as a kid and there’s this little known British writer called Tolkien, J.

Well I read a lot of fantasy as a kid and I’ve always been a wide voracious reader and read all kinds of stuff. So growing up Joe, what were some of the authors and genres that inspired you to become an author? The next one is the Perth’s Writer Festival which is tomorrow for three to four days. It’s going good! I’ve done a couple of events in Sydney, one in Canberra and one in Melbourne which have all been great. Welcome to Impulse Gamer Joe and Australia! You’re here to promote your new book Half the World which is book number two in the Shattered Sea Trilogy… so how’s the book tour so far?
