Daniel A Cohen author of Master's of the Veil Interview and Giveaway

I want to thank Daniel for stopping by today and sharing some great advice with us.



Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I graduated with a degree in business management but I’m trying my best not to use it. Obviously I love writing, but really I just love books in general.


What inspired you to write about magic and sorcerers? Harry Potter. And others. But mostly Harry Potter. Like most everyone else, I am obsessed with Rowling’s work. Growing up, I was always the same age as Harry’s crew and I felt a special bond to him and his world. I knew I could never create something as world shattering at J.K. did, but I knew in the very least that I wanted my work to be in the same genre. I’ve also found out by trial and error that choosing to write about magic and sorcery is choosing to be free and chained at the same time. You can create anything you want, but you have to follow your own rules or the story doesn’t work. This genre can be unbelievably liberating and mind-bogglingly frustrating at the same time.
