Today I am delighted to have a slice of cake with author Stephen Oliver.
What kind of books do you write?
I write stories about the weird and wonderful narrative universe I've created, full of strange creatures, scientific marvels, and dark monsters. Many of my main characters are outsiders of some kind.
Can you describe your writing why?
I love to tell stories about the odd and the strange. I've been an SFF fan for over 50 years, and I feel I have many unusual tales of my own to tell (6 novels, 1 completed and 4 WIPs), plus 8 anthologies (4 completed, 4 WIPs; covering over 180 short stories and novellas).
Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most
This is not necessarily my favourite because there are so many. However, it is the latest favourite thing I've written. I completed the story two days ago.
He was the greatest visio-musician of his age.
She was a rank beginner.
He was the consummate master, beloved by all.
She was unknown, even to her contemporaries.
He was old and fading.
She crackled with youth and vitality.
He recreated all his best works, again and again. Precisely the same, every time.
She brimmed with new energies of creation, raw and edgy.
He wanted peace.
She wanted to kill him.
He was already dead.
Tell us about your latest project
My latest project concerns the novels and anthologies I've written in my narrative universe. I'm in the process of submitting the first of them (a novel titled Shuttlers and the first anthology of the series title Paranormal City) to publishers and agents alike. I've sent out 318 submissions since the beginning of the year and 9 of my short stories have already been accepted for publication in magazines and anthologies. Two more were published last year.
