The Best Books That Are Part Of Bigger Universes


 So recently I participated with a website called Shepherd.com. This site is dedicated to connecting authors with potential readers by having them outline a list of books that conforms to a themed list which the author concocts. For me, I came up with the category of "the best books that are part of bigger universes" which I found fitting because most of my works are part of a shared narrative universe! Thus it made sense for me to show anyone who was interested what I consider to be a good example of tie-in novels, or novels that take place in a bigger setting than just what is encompassed in that singular story.

I really enjoy Shepherd's vision for the purpose of this site. There are hundreds of authors that have published their lists on here and I must say that I have discovered some interesting titles to add to my TBR list. I would recommend anyone who likes seeing what other people think of books, or themes, or just likes lists in general to take a look at the site and go down a few rabbit holes.

Winged Hussar Interviews

 As you likely know, my publisher is a small business run out of New Jersey. It is a father-son duo that runs/owns the business, and they deal primarily with tie-in media revolving around other peoples' IP that they will then market out to authors to write novels within those universes. Vince, the dad, has a background working with Games Workshop's Black Library, and his son has grown up under that influence. Both are excellent human beings who have been a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend them enough. One of the projects that they introduced to try and help out their authors was a podcast where they were able to interview their authors and get some more in-depth questions about those writers' deeper inspections of the stories that they have created. I was able to go on there for a pair of episodes to talk about my own writing and I feel that they would make excellent additions to anyone who is looking to get to know me better (scary though that may be).

Pride of a King Book Discussion

 Something that I have discussed with a few other authors is that often times when we have interviews we are asked a lot of the same kinds of questions, and those are generally rather generic things like "Where did you get your inspiration?" or "What struggles did you have while writing this book?" and while those are all good questions, they don't really dig into the meat of the story that you have just spent the last several months/years writing. This is why I appreciate the recent series known as "the Loremaster's Library" from the Coutner Charge podcast. These guys basically have a deep dive discussion into the ins and outs of a story, much like a book club would do, or a deeply invested college English class. They've done a few different books for the Kings of War universe of novels, and they are all fun to listen to.  Here is the episode they did on my most recent book Pride of a King . It's a fun listen and can give you some good ins
