$25 #Giveaway Interview THE ROYAL ORDER OF FIGHTING DRAGONS by Dan Elish @dan.elish Ends 12.17

November 27, 2018 By Mary 28 Comments

by Dan Elish

SYNOPSIS

Born to… Fight?

Ike Rupert Hollingsberry is haunted by the past because complete strangers won’t let him forget that his famous father died on the set of The Fighting Dragons, a cult favorite that still has people talking. But when he’s attacked by a large locust, like the one that killed his dad, Ike is helped by the geekiest nerd of all, Elmira Hand. Killing the giant locust is only the beginning of the surprises in store for Ike as he is whisked away from New York City to an isolated Florida compound to assume his role as the next in line to lead the Royal Order of Fighting Dragons—that are NOT supposed to exist—and learns his dad’s death was a cover-up for a far greater purpose…

  What is on your nightstand?  

Oh, there is a large pile of books on my nightstand. Most are for adults. But I always have a kids’ novel or two that I’m hoping to read. One that is always there is CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY – I like having it nearby. I also have a copy of my first novel published, THE WORLDWIDE DESSERT CONTEST.

What author would you totally fan?

Well, if we can include the non-living, it would definitely be Dr. Seuss. Even though I don’t write picture books, I adore his work. I try to get some of his zany spirit into my books. He was also supposed to be a nice guy. It would have been a fantastic honor to have met him.

What makes you cringe?

Fingernails on a blackboard, melodramatic prose, asparagus and certain politicians.

Do you plot everything out or go with the flow?

A little of both. I need to have a good central idea and some idea of what happens in the beginning, middle and end but when I get to the individual scenes and character development I find myself going with the flow. I like to see where my imagination takes me in the moment.

Is there a word you love to use?

The right ones for the right spots. J
