For the next of my Five Question Author Interviews, I spoke with Elizabeth Eckstein, another wonderful indie author. I read Elizabeth’s book Quicksilver and Brimstone recently, the first in her Crucible of the Crimson Lion series, and I absolutely loved it. You should definitely go check it out! On top of the fantastic writing, Elizabeth also flavours her fantasy fiction with some amazing illustrations, something I’d love to see more of in books in general.
You can learn more about Elizabeth and her book on her author bio here www.amazon.co.uk/Elizabeth-Eckstein/e/B089G6PQ32/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1 and follow her on twitter - @RedElixer You can also visit Elizabeth's website here - crimsonlion.wixsite.com/home 1 - What would you say draws you to writing fantasy? I think they way it really allows one to be creative. Both in environment and plot, there is just so much more that is possible and lends itself to exploration. I love the world-building, defining the scope and limits of every element. 2 - Any clues on what we can expect in book two of your Crucible of the Crimson Lion saga? Things are going to get quite a bit more serious and daunting for the Crimson Lion and our band of friends. They are about to discover that Pantomeus was just one piece in a much larger puzzle that jeopardise not only the Order, but the world as we know it. 3 - If you were a trained member of the Order, what alchemic feat would you want to be able to achieve? I think I would love to be a Master in Consumable Constructs – the art of creating foods and beverages with remarkable qualities, like Levitation Cakes and Invisibility Cordials. 4 - Are there any other genres you’d like to try your hand at? I have an idea for a Sci-fi story and also Historical Fantasy, but I’ll only really consider them after I finish the Crucible of the Crimson Lion. 5 - If Quicksilver and Brimstone were to be adapted for the big or small screen, do you have any ideal picks for the people involved? Oh, I would love Hugh Laurie for Master Ragnardt and Brian Cox for Grand Master Thorbrand. Christopher Lee would have made the perfect Pantomeus. He will always hold that part in my heart. Thanks for the Chat Elizabeth - I'm really looking forward to the next installment! You can find Quicksilver and Brimstone here www.amazon.co.uk/Quicksilver-Brimstone-Crucible-Crimson-Lion/dp/B08CPLF56Y/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=quicksilver+and+brimstone&qid=1611248955&sr=8-1 - It’s a great read - a fantastic tale of adventure and fantasy for all ages.
