Interview with Stephen Zimmer

I've had the privilage to interview Stephen Zimmer for his Rayden Valkyrie Blog Tour, where he tell  us about the Dark Sun Dawn Saga and he shares the trailer for his Rayden Valkyrie Saga of a Lionheart TV Pilot.

*Please tell us a bit about yourself.

I am a storyteller who loves to write and also loves visual storytelling such as movies and television series. I currently have 12 books in print and am working on a new TV Pilot that is centered around my Rayden Valkyrie character I am the founder of the Imaginarium Convention, which is an event all about creative writing. I enjoy lots of activities and things, including martial arts, music, movies, bourbon, traveling, guitar, and spending time with our family cat, Dubious!

*Could you tell us in short what the Dark Sun Dawn saga is about?

The Dark Sun Dawn books contain one of Rayden Valkyrie's most challenging adventures. It all begins with Rayden seeking to return to her adopted homelands after completing a very grueling task in lands far to the south of the Kartajen Empire. The journey takes some sharp twists and turns along the way, but soon she finds herself confronting a fast-rising power, the Teveren Empire, whose shadow is growing across many lands and kingdoms. The story reveals more and more about what is behind the growing threat, including supernatural elements and sorcery. Readers follow along with Rayden as she discovers the nature of these adversaries and seeks ways to overcome them. The story is told over the course of three books, comprising the Dark Sun Dawn Trilogy!

My Writing Environment: Setting the Right Mindset 

All writers certainly have their quirks, and I am no exception. In a recent interview, I was asked about what kind of coffee shops or bookstores I like to write in, and I had to chuckle because I’m afraid I would completely flop in any attempt to write in such public places. I really admire the ability of those who write in that kind of environment and can keep distractions at bay. 

As for me, there is nothing exotic to my particular method, but I have found that the approach I have come to embrace really works for me in terms of setting the right mood.

There are some intrinsic components to establishing my optimal writing environment.
