Continuing in our author interview series, today we’re hosting Mark McQuillen. Please enjoy.
Tell us about your book.
Well, actually there are 12 of them that chronicle Malices journey from Archvillianess to Queen of the Valkyrie. It’s a story of love, redemption, justice and more importantly to the character herself revenge.
When did you realize that you were a writer?
Since I was about 8, I wrote little stories for my friends, etc. I didn’t start seriously writing until 2015 when I wrote the first Valkyrie Novella.
Do you have any books coming out this year?
Hopefully three, the two rewrites of the first two Valkyrie Novellas and Valkyrie 4.

What book would you suggest to anyone who wants to write?
I really haven’t ever read any writing books. I’m self-taught. But as far as books in the genre that you are interested in writing in I would suggest you read every one that you can get your hands on.
