Meet the Author Q&A - J.L. Snyder
What made you want to to write books? I always had a gift for writing. In fact, my high school English teacher was the first person who told me that I had the talent to be a writer. Being a teenager at the time, I didn't think much of it. Fast forward many years into the future, I met my wife, the angel of my life. She was the one who reignited my interest in writing. She supports me 200% in my writing.
Where does your inspiration come from? Honestly mine inspiration for what I write comes from comic book and Manga. I'm still a kid at heart. I love reading comic books and Manga. I'm also a big fan of cartoons and Anime. In fact, "Battle Cry" & "Battle Cry 2 Shadow of the Sword" were inspired by the cartoon Samurai Jack.
How long have you been writing? I began writing again when I was in college in early 2000. I published a few poems and prose pieces before I published "Battle Cry."
What's your daily routine? My ideal routine would be to write several hours everyday. However with my plate being currently full, I take advantage of writing in the mornings during the week. On the weekends I make an effort to write mid-day or evenings. I love writing in different places, at home or in the park. I'm inspired by different locations.
How long does it take you to write a book - From the first word to completion? That depends. My current book series is taking longer than I anticipated because I haven't had much time to write this year. Besides the fact that I work full time, I'm involved in many personal projects this year. I should be able to get back in the flow of my writing in August of this year.
What do you do in your spare time? I like to use my smoker and smoke choice meats! It drives my neighbors crazy!!
TV shows - what's your favourite, past and present?
Past- Kojak, The Highlander, Luther.
Present - Legends of Tomorrow, Iron Fist, Luke Cage.
Do you have any future projects you're working on? Yes, I'm currently working on a crime series.
