Luff: Author interview"},"content":{"rendered":"

Today I introduce JW Luff, a Science Fiction writer and author of the Virago 4 and The NOAH Equation series.<\/p>\n

What is your current project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My current WIP is the third and final instalment of The NOAH Equation series, The NOAH Warriors. It\u2019s Science Fiction written from a Christian perspective.<\/p>\n

What are the hardest and easiest aspects of writing for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably the hardest is staying focused and setting time aside to write. I have a weird schedule that is dependent on many factors, not the least of which is the weather. The easiest is coming up with ideas. I\u2019ve been told I have a vivid imagination.<\/p>\n

A writing routine or inspiration? What works best for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like I said before finding time is a challenge, so any kind of set routine is out the window. My job is in aviation and is very dependent on many factors. Now that is offset by current technology. I can work just about anywhere. I\u2019ve spent many hours editing a manuscript on my IPad while sitting in an airport lobby waiting for the weather to clear.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favourite\u00a0imaginary world that\u2019s not your own?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That would have to be in the future where faster than light travel is as common as air travel today. The idea of travelling to distant worlds, meeting alien life forms and learning about their societies is fascinating to me.<\/p>\n

How much research do you do for your novels?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to do a lot of research. I feel I owe it to the reader. I want the technology to be believable even if it doesn\u2019t currently exist in our world. The problem is sometimes the research becomes so interesting I can get caught up in it and put the project on the back burner.<\/p>\n

Name another author that you would recommend reading.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert L. Beers. I consider him a mentor. (catch Robert’s work on Amazon\u00a0click here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

If you travelled\u00a0in time, when would be your choice? Would you prefer magical or technological means of travel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would love to visit the future. I would prefer technological, but as Arthur C. Clark said, \u201cAny sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you like to read, and has this changed over time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always been a Science Fiction fan, the more technological the better. I\u2019m more likely to read Science Fiction written by a Christian author.<\/p>\n

What is the next project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After I finish The NOAH Warriors, I\u2019m looking to get into short films. I\u2019m getting better using Daz3d Over the last few years I\u2019ve used it to create book trailers and I\u2019ve received a lot of compliments. The software is a lot of fun and I\u2019m able to create scenes right out of my books. I\u2019m one of those people that can\u2019t draw a straight line with a ruler. This software allows me a way of getting the image from my head to the computer screen.<\/p>\n
