Interview with Trisha M. Wilson

Published 2017-07-14.
Tell us about yourself and the books you've written.
After I graduated from college, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, so I joined my friend and we began to write books. Years later, I have published many novels, novellas, and short stories in a variety of genres such as children's, fantasy, science fiction, and horror.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest published book is called "The Metatron Chronicles". It is a science fiction story with every chapter dealing with a different group of people. Taking place in Nippon, a ruin storm is coming, but nobody believes it will hit them. Only Metatron, an AI that has the run of the country, can save them.

What inspired it was my friend, Colby Trax, story, "Firmware: Keylogger". When I was editing a chapter in that book, my mind was filled with Metatron and the ruin storm. I could see the events he generally mentioned and how they would make a fantastic stand alone story. After a few years passed, I finally had the time write the story!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Every book I've read has influenced me, from the romances I love to read to the cozy mysteries that make me smile to the Warhammer 40k novels that engage me in a much different way.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up and stay true to yourself. A lot of people will tell you what you should or shouldn't write, but I've learned to do what is true to me. If I don't, I'm not writing my stories, I'm writing someone else's.
