Erin Michelle Sky:
Who are your favourite authors, and which of them has been the biggest influence on your writing?
Erin Michelle Sky
Great question! I have so many favorites. I fell in love with Anne McCaffrey's books as a young teen. She is always the first to come to mind. I also loved Ray Bradbury's short stories and Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. More recently, I'm madly in love with Susan Dennard's Witchlands series, starting with Truthwitch. And Laini Taylor's Strange the Dreamer is just magnificent.
As for influence on my writing, I have to mention the lyrical feel of Latin American literature. I translated several short stories from Spanish into English as an undergrad, and I fell in love with the prose--both in the original and in the way it translated into English. I like to think there are at least phrases here and there in my own writing that are worthy of claiming that influence.
