Book: The Legacy Commencement
Q1. Hello Ma’am, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hey folks! My name is Autumn and my pen name is R.A. Schwartz, which is an acronym that pays homage to my favorite Slytherin, Regulus Black AKA R.A.B. I’m a queer nonbinary nerd and I am from South Carolina.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘The Legacy Commencement’ book?
Writer’s block! There were times where I knew exactly what I wanted to write and other times it just wasn’t coming to me. I spent three years writing and rewriting it.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
Shakespeare, Tolkien, the creators of Tomb Raider, The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim, and Harry Potter fanfic writers. J.K. Rowling did inspire me at one point, but not anymore. I still love Harry Potter, but I can’t stand her or her transphobia.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
Folly Beach which is in Charleston, South Carolina. It’s so peaceful and quiet and it’s thst place to get away from it all! I love it!
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
I outline the main plot and my characters. I wrote this book in order. One of the sequel s that I’m currently working on I wrote the ending before I did the majority of the rest of the book. It will change but only slightly so.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘The Legacy Commencement’ book?
Three years! It was truly one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but definitely worth the effort!
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find your books to buy?
Amazon. Kindle subscibers can read it free.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the cover and the title of your books?
My publisher created the cover art. I’m definitely no DaVinci. The title is tied into the villian. He has a vision for a specific type of legacy he wishes to create. One that will make the world an awful place. This book shows how this legacy began. The second will show how someone tries to bring it back and the third will show this legacy ending and a new, better one beginning.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I’m good at finding a story within popular stories and making them my own. That way my readers get originality and nostalgia.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the books (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your
readers?
On my blog accordingtorory.net I’ve shared and will be continuing to share creation secrets for everyone! The category is called All About My Novel.
