#2 - Matthew Harrill returns to Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE!

http://creativewritingcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/04-Matt-Harrill-pt-2.mp3 Welcome to part 2 of my interview with Matthew Harrill, my favorite contemporary British author of books of blood and darkness. Listen in as he delves ever deeper into the writing process, showing us how to build mood and suspense and character and plot. It’ll give you shivers. You’ll love it.  (If you haven’t listened to part 1 yet, go do that now! We’ll wait.)  We also discuss fantasy greats Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, and Matt shares a lesson from his own mentor, David Farland (who also mentored Sanderson, as well as Twilight author Stephenie Meyer). Once you’ve listened to this lesson, go do the homework assignment Matt and I give you. It’s all about opening hooks and closing hooks, and the more you practice it, the more compelling your fiction will be. And don’t forget to check out Matt’s website (matthewharrill.com) and pick up a copy of The Eyes Have No Soul, on sale now!   (Reminder: Matt is donating a portion of the proceeds of sales from The Eyes Have No Soul to type 1 diabetes research. So go buy it!) If you’d like to hear more of Matt’s views on fiction, or more details on his books and the horror genre in general, check out my archived episodes with him from the Fun with Fiction podcast:  FwF 16 – Interview with Matthew Harrill: What if Hell Froze Over? FwF 28: Matthew Harrill returns to Hell  That’s all for now, fellow scribes. Join me back here next time for a lovely lesson on creating killer characters.  Peace!

Creative Writing Corner Episode 4: Matthew Harrill on Building Your Worlds (part 2)

http://creativewritingcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/03-Matt-Harrill-pt-1.mp3 My guest today is an old friend, a scary talented Amazon best-selling author from overseas, Mr. Matthew W Harrill!  Author of the ARC Chronicles trilogy, which begins with the award-winning Hellbounce, Matt has continued to grow and spread his wings as a writer. He’s just released his latest novel, The Eyes Have No Soul, a demonic thriller set in the ARC universe (but you don’t need to have read the others to start there!).   Listen to Matt tell us how he structures his stories, from his idea generation process to his character inspirations to his meticulous outlines. He’ll inspire you to build your own fictional world. Then go pick up his books and see how it’s done! (In case you need extra incentive, Matt wrote this book as a tribute to a family struggle with Type 1 diabetes, and he’s donating a portion of the proceeds from The Eyes Have No Soul to diabetes research. So be a mensch and buy it already!)  And don’t forget to tune in to part 2 of this interview for the rest of Matt’s stellar advice, plus your homework assignment. See you then! Check Matt’s work at matthewharrill.com. Oh, and check out the time Matt interviewed me!
