hardcoretolkienfan asked T.B. Schmid:

What other authors inspired this work ? If you could sit down with any author for an in-depth interview, who would it be ?

T.B. Schmid Do we have to choose just one? That's a long list, starting with William Shakespeare, and moving through Mark Twain, Tolkien (of course), William Forstchen, Stephen R. Donaldson, Tom Clancy, Terry Brooks, Stephen King, George R.R. Martin, Terry Goodkind, Pierce Brown, Katherine Kurtz, Patrick O'Brian, and Michael Crichton. I could probably go on for awhile :)

If I could only sit down and interview one? Shakespeare, because so much of what we think we know about him and his work is speculation.
