Most people who know me very well will tell you that I'm fearless. I swore right then and there on that hospital bed that I would become a world-class storyteller and nothing would stop me. Sure, I had gone to college, gotten a good job, was ready to be engaged-but something was missing. On that hospital bed, I realized that I had done nothing with my life. What should have been a 2-3 hour hospital visit turned into a month-long visit where the doctors didn't diagnose the infection until it was almost too late. Can you give us a little bit more insight into that? How are you different now as compared to before? MLR: I was ill with a stomach virus and while I was in the hospital, I caught another infection. FU: Your Amazon bio mentions a life-threatening illness that changed your life. They're fun to write and nice buffers between novels. It's me documenting my growth as an author, and passing along what I've learned to help people who have started after me. FU: And how did the non-fiction books come about? MLR: The nonfiction books are more for me, honestly. When you read good SFF, you always walk away with a different perspective of the world, even though you've just been reading fiction.

Science fiction and fantasy let me explore my imagination. FU: There are so many different genres to choose from, what inspired you to write science fiction and fantasy novels? MLR: I have a big imagination and I love to tell stories. He has to toughen up as the series progresses, so either I have to toughen up or he'll become different than me :)įU: Thanks for taking the time to chat with us.įlurries Unlimited (FU) had the great opportunity to sit down for a chat with fantasy and science fiction author Michael La Ronn (MLR) about his writing, his life and his philosophy of being. I tried to make him act different than I would, but many of his mannerisms are like mine. LV: My wife and friends would be the first to tell you I'm like Nick Barnes. Then I would like to start a different series and maybe add more books to the 'Seed' series later. LV: The sequel to Dark Seed, called Seed of Control, comes out November 1st and I'm currently writing the third book in the series that should be out in 2018. He has to toughen up as the series progresses, so either I have to toughen up or he'll become different than me :)įU: So what is on the horizon? What are your new projects? After the second of the series comes out on 1 Nov, when will be your next new release?
