Welcome to the first part of John Shors’ blog tour. Stay tuned for my review of his latest book, Dragon House, on Dec. 15.
John Shors kindly took time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions, and there’s a giveaway copy for my wonderful readers (US/Canada).
Please give the author a warm welcome.
Actually, I think that writing historical fiction is more difficult than to bring life to contemporary fiction. For instance, I spent month after month doing research for my first novel, Beneath a Marble Sky, which is based on the story behind the creation of the Taj Mahal. With my recent novel, Dragon House, which is set in modern-day Vietnam, all I did was fly to Vietnam and spend several weeks getting a good feel for the country (which I had visited earlier as well). So, by switching to contemporary fiction, I removed a whole layer of work from the process of creating a novel.
