Emelia asked Dyrk Ashton:

A fellow thespian from Ohio ! Excellent ! Obviously I will be searching for both Paternus books to read. And I will forgive you being of Campbell blood only because you killed English ;) and of course... having Bruce Campbell among your ranks. How does a country boy from Ohio rise up to become an author and where did the idea for your books spring from? Do you have any tips for aspiring authors in Ohio?

Dyrk Ashton Hi Emelia! I've been writing since I was very young and always wanted to complete a novel. When I finally had the time, I just went for it. These says it doesn't matter where your from, New York, London or the Midwest of the U.S., good books spring from everywhere. My ideas come from everything I've read, watched and experienced over the years, my obsession with mythology and storytelling, all corrupted by an overactive imagination :)

Thank you for asking!
