Often the theft is not obvious, because, of course, to make it interesting you have to make it your own. I get my ideas by stealing them from other people. Sorcerer is a book deliberately and openly written to its influences, in part because that is the sort of writer I am: I’m a remixer. In Sorcerer to the Crown, Regency England’s first African Sorcerer Royal Zacharias Wythe is trying to reverse the decline in England’s magic, when his plans are hijacked by ambitious runaway orphan and female magical prodigy Prunella Gentleman. We invited the author to talk about inspirations and influences. Zen Cho, known for her delightful short stories and novellas, has her first novel, Sorcerer to the Crown, coming out in early September. In this feature, we invite writers to talk about their new books, older titles, and their writing overall. “Inspirations and Influences” is a series of articles in which we invite authors to write guest posts talking about their Inspirations and Influences. Reader, enter the giveaway – which is open to all, for chance to read the novel in advance. In which Zen Cho discloses the novels that influenced her upcoming novel, Sorcerer to the Crown.
