Nicholas Stanosheck’s War of the Dragons
I’ve known Nik Stanosheck since the early days when the web was rife with fan-made websites for comics. Yep, that long. Long before he became such an amazing fantasy writer. I figure it’s time for you to get to know him too.
Tell us a bit about your latest work.
Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount is the sequel to Vhaidra & the DESTINY of Nikodemos. It is the second novel in the Vhaidra Saga. Here is the blurb:
The War of the Dragons begins here…
What secrets lie in Sicyon’s mysterious Temple Mount? Who are ATHIE, DAMIANOS, and KOSMAS, and what is their connection to the orphaned half-dragon MIKHAIL? Are the forces that are purportedly working for a better tomorrow in Sicyon truly what they say they are?
After the devastating Battle of Sicyon in Vhaidra & the DESTINY of Nikodemos, House Iroas ascends as VHAIDRA the dark elf monk and NIKODEMOS the human cleric raise a powerful house of half-drow warriors in the overworld. Meanwhile, the young half-dragon, MIKHAIL, his human milkmaid and astonishing ranger, MIRIAM, and the flirtatious dwelf dancer, TI’ERRA, change the ascetic half-orc wizard, ELDER DIONYSIOS, forever, as his hidden history intersects with his future, whether he likes it or not.
The obsidian half-dragon grows from a baby to Sicyon’s powerful stylite and protector, but will his abilities be enough to stave off both the imminent threat of the mighty white dragon from the north or will Sicyon get a long cold winter that it can never wake from? Will the diabolical forces within Sicyon that conspire against ARCHON JUSTINIAN and his allies be able to exploit VHAIDRA, NIKODEMOS, TI’ERRA, ELDER DIONYSIOS, MIRIAM, and MIKHAIL to create the civil war that they so desire? Find out the answers to these questions and more in the exciting adventures of Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount!
Just like my previous novel, the cover art is by the amazing team of Stan Saint Yak and Robert Nugent.
What happened in your life that prompted you to become a writer?
I had a story in my head and when I got injured at work and had the time, I wrote it down. But the characters kept telling me their stories and this became a novel and then a series! Once the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus pandemic hit, I found myself unemployed and had the time to finally sign with one of the publishers that had been pestering me to sign with them.
What inspires you to write?
I have to write to get the ideas out on paper. I enjoy the process, as the story does not always end up going like I thought it would.
