Hey there everyone, so good to see you all here again raring for some action.

Tonight we have a special guest in the form of Sci-Fi/fantasy author Lela Markham, as she talks to us about her books and what fires up her engines to motivate her as a writer.

Enjoy the show as we kick off another cracking interview.

 

Hi there Lela, great to have you here with us today, we’re really looking forward to what you have to say.

Let’s start with your two different series of novels – “The Daermad Cycle” series and the “Transformation Project” series, both of which have sequels, the latter having a sequel due in October this year. The titles are very intriguing. Can you please tell us what the significance of the titles are, what sort of situations the lead protagonists are going to find themselves facing and what ultimately drew you to writing in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genres?

Thanks for having me. “Daermad Cycle” is a fantasy series based in the mythical kingdom of Celdrya in a world the Celdryans call “Daermad”. Daermad comes from a Gaelic word that means “secret”. The Celdryans are descendents of Celts who somehow stumbled into an alternate universe 1,000 years ago. For a millennia they were a strong and prosperous people, but their royal family was massacred a century ago. The country has been torn by factions and manipulated by black mages ever since and now they’re being threatened by a stronger nation. They’re only hope is to ally with an old enemy, the Kin. I bring a whole cast of characters to tell the story. “The Willow Branch” started the tale, “Mirklin Wood” continued the quest and the third book, “Fount of Dreams”, due out sometime next year, will show what’s really at stake. There a clue to my overall theme in the series in the naming of the first book. Willows are used as a balm of healing. Padraig, the main character, is trying to heal the fractured kingdom and the animosity between his two peoples. There’s also a walking stick of diamond willow that plays a prominent role in the series. Mirklin Wood’s title is a nod to JRR Tolkein’s Murkwood because all fantasy writers should be grateful for him blazing this trail for us.

“Transformation Project” is an apocalyptic that will become a dystopian series with libertarian, anarchist themes. A nationwide terrorist attack in “Life As We Knew It” sets off the fundamental transformation of the United States. I focus on a small town coping in the aftermath. “Objects in View” which came out October 4 continues the story as the town begins to realize that actual help isn’t coming. “A Threatening Fragility” will show how the transformation of the larger culture is going to impact people who didn’t agree to it. The titles of the first two books are taken from character statements in the books. “A Threatening Fragility” is based on an Anias Nin phrase.

You also have contributed to two Anthology Collections – “Gateways” and “Echoes of Liberty: The Clarion Call, Vol 2: Volume 2”. What sort of stories did you contribute to these anthologies? Are they linked in any way to The Daermad Cycle and Transformation Project or are they stand-alone tales that are separate from those two universes?

“Pivot of Fate” in the Gateways anthology is part of the Daermad Cycle history. It tells of an incident that really set the whole present story line into motion and it includes three characters from The Willow Branch. The Gateways anthology is a product of my publisher, Breakwater Harbor Books, so showcased the talents of most of us working over there.

“Bridge at Adelphia” is a speculative historical fiction. The Agorist Writers Workshop put out a call for speculative historical fiction that would highlight agorist, libertarian, anarchist themes. I selected a historical era and then asked the question “What might have happened if the US Constitution had never been ratified?” And, yes, it has a sort of happy ending, although you have to leave stuff like that open-ended because it didn’t actually happen. I was pleased they accepted my entry. “Echoes of Liberty” came out September 27.

What do you find the most difficult thing about writing? And what do you find the easiest?

I love to procrastinate. If there’s a difficult thing about writing it is buckling down to work on what I have deemed to be my primary project for that time period. There’s just so many things to distract me. I’m like a raven in a stainless steel factory.

The easiest parts are writing dialogue and finding inspiration. Especially for “Transformation Project”, I can find things in today’s headlines that powerfully inform the work. There is some new disturbance on the horizon every day. Writers who wonder where to get the inspiration for writing puzzle me. It’s choosing among the many competing inspirations that can sometimes be a challenge. Dialogue is definitely my strong suit and that is because my stories always begin with a character telling me their story. When you start with characters who could be real, things like dialogue just naturally flows.

Who are some of the authors in general that inspire you?

Wow. I have so many favorite authors. Katharine Kerr, Kate Elliott and Brandon Sanderson are certainly contemporary favorites in the speculative fiction realm. My very first speculative fiction author was Zenna Henderson of the People series of short stories. Still love those stories. I also love Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein, even though I am not a hard-science fiction writer. Madeleine L’Engle, Charles Dickens, CS Lewis, obviously Tolkein. I’m really enjoying some of my fellow Breakwater Harbor Books authors these days. And I recently read William Fortschen’s two apocalyptics and Becky Ackers “Abducting Arnold” which is a bit of a speculative historical fiction.

What sort of research do you do to write your books?

Believe it or not, fantasies require research. If you’re going to poison someone, it’s a good idea to know something about poisons. What sort of foods did Celts eat in Europe? As an American, I might take potatoes for granted, but my Celts never saw one, so they wouldn’t be eating them in Daermad.

“Transformation Project” requires a lot of research. It is set in contemporary America in a state I have driven through, not lived in. So, I have spent a lot of time on Street View envisioning the community of Emmaus, “driving” down the backroads, learning about corn. I’m a gun culture girl. I grew up in Alaska, but I have spent quite a bit of time with a good friend who is really a gun culture guy, learning about guns in a much more personal way than I really had thought about before. And, ultimately, apocalyptics are driven by conspiracy theories. If the NSA ever looks at my search history, I’m going to end up at a black site as a terrorist.

Why do you write? What inspired you to become a writer?

According to my Mom, I told stories from the time I could talk. I seemed to notice things other kids didn’t notice. I was bothered by plot holes in Walt Disney shows. At some point, one of my teachers made me write a story. I hated the process. It was too confining. But she gave me an A and read it in front of the entire class. That lit a spark that I could never put out and I have been writing ever since. I trained as a journalist (writing) and worked as a reporter (writing). I became frustrated with the manipulation of information as I saw it in the newsroom, so I went into administration in the mental health field, where they used my skills as an editor often, and now I work in administration in the transportation field. But writing has always been my avocation. I write because I can’t not write. It’s always going on in my head anyway. Might as well write it down and put it out there for people to read.

What keeps you motivated during creative slumps? How do you deal with Writers Block?

I think writer’s block is really a myth. I have never stared at a piece of paper or computer screen for longer than about 15 minutes trying to get something out. Right around the time I hit the 15-minute mark, I start typing nonsense sentences and pretty soon I’m writing a story. To me, writer’s block is a function of boredom. Sometimes, I just have no interest in working on my current project. I’m not generally frustrated that I can’t think of what comes next. I just don’t care right now. So, I switch to my secondary project and work on that for a few days or weeks until I feel like I’m ready to go back to my primary project. That’s how I ended up writing two series, because I would have been switching between the two anyway. Might as well plan for that. Next year, I will publish a literary fiction that is outside of both series. Why do I have a literary fiction? That’s what I’ve been working on when the other two projects go into creative slump. I also give myself permission to occasionally binge watch a series on Netflix or go hiking in the Alaska wilderness. Because I am always working on something and I’m not freaking myself out over any one project, I just don’t get writer’s block because I don’t get bored.

How do you spend your free time when you are not writing?

Well, we live in Alaska and I have a full-time job, so that keeps me busy. We heat with wood, so there’s always a lot going on with that. We harvest fish and blueberries and sometimes we get lucky to shoot a moose or caribou. We also do a lot of hiking in the summer, which includes camping and photography. This time of year, the weather starts to get cold, so we’re buttoning up the outdoor projects, remodeling a sauna/shed into a tiny-home for our teenage son and getting the dog’s house full of straw. Once winter falls, I love to curl up with a good book by the fire, but I also enjoy cooking and quilting. We’re involved in our church and we love to go to the local coffee shops to listen to the free entertainment offered on Friday and Saturday nights.

Tell us more about your upcoming projects. Are you working on anything specific or have plans in the pipeline?

I think I might have too many projects, but I’m trying to focus on just three right now. The third book in Daermad Cycle is mostly plotted, which is a sort of new experience for me because I am really a discovery writer, but when you write a series, you have got to hit some milestones or you just start chasing your tail. But I got bored with “Fount of Dreams” about three weeks ago and could not settle down to “A Threatening Fragility” as an alternative, so I turned to a tertiary project and realized that it’s mostly written. I’ve spent the last three weeks killing about 25,000-words worth of darlings, deciding on an ending, and getting it to what I consider to be a rough-draft stage. I have maybe a week more to go. At that point, I’ll take my traditional break of a month or so from it. I hope to come out with all three within the next 18 months.

Finally, are there any nuggets of wisdom that you can impart to other aspiring writers?

Read everything. And, by that, I mean — EVERYTHING. You never know where you’ll find inspiration. Sit down in a park and watch people. Listen to the conversation behind you at the coffee shop or Denny’s. Write often. Write stupid stuff. Don’t worry about the quality. Don’t throw it out. You never know when something you were playing around with will decide to be a novel worthy of publication. Don’t let yourself get bored. Learn when to turn off when needed – to switch to another project, watch television, go hiking, stare at the stars. If you want to create, don’t wait for the “best time” because there will never be a perfect time. Just do it and see what happens.

And that’s a wrap! Thank you Lela, you have been a terrific guest and we can’t wait to check out your books 🙂
