Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in the UK about 30 miles west of London, I am 47 years old, married with two children. I also have a black belt in Ju Jitsu.
I have written six Fantasy books. The Fall of Cadoria, The Demon and The Raven, and The Dance of The Blacksmith and The Huntress trilogy which also comes in an anthology edition. I also have some short stories on my website https://paulwillsonfantasy.com, Wattpad and Medium.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I am currently promoting The Fall of Cadoria. It is based on the premise, like The Demon and The Raven, what happens if t he bad guys win and asks if they are really bad..
Do you have any unusual writing habits?

What authors, or books have influenced you?
David Edding and The Belgariad is what made me fall on love with Fantasy.
JRR Tolkien, taught me to write short stories when preparing a book. Short stories are a great way to give characters a back story and work out how the story got to the way it is.
Joe Abercrombie, the reading the dialogue between his characters in an education in itself.

I am currently proofreading the sequel to The Fall of Cadoria, The Empress of Thargoza. I hope to publish it in the summer.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I am going to cheat and I would take the box set of The Belgariad and The First Law Trilogy
