E. Mendell

Biography

I am a Fiction Author that writes what I would love to read. My interests in writing are many and I take time to write and experiment with all types of genres and book sizes. Anywhere from short stories to thick novels, Horror to Science Fiction, I've written all kinds. I've been writing since I was able to put words together and my first published book (Eysheus Saga, book one, Blood River) Is the beginning of my greatest work so far. I was home schooled and with my free time studied and advanced my writing abilities. My stories have been sitting and waiting for the chance to see the light of day so here I hope to accomplish that.
Writing is my reason to live. Ink is my blood, inspiration is the oxygen I breath. I hope all readers will see that in every story I publish here and above all I hope my stories are enjoyed.

Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
My writing process is all over the place at the starting. I get an idea, a character design, or a small scene in my head, and I begin writing around that. From there I let the characters and story tell me what's happening. I am frequently surprised by what happens. There's only one book I actually made an outline for, but it went nowhere. I feel readers will react to the stories I write if I get the chance to react with them.
How long did it take you to write Hiroshima, Golden Messenger?
It actually took me three months to write Hiro's first book. It's a short story, so that's rather embarrassing for me. In my defense I was also working on the Eysheus Saga. But yes, it took me about three months to write it.
