Interview with Eric Nylund

Eric Nylund, whose Halo novels have sold more than 2 million copies, is a prominent example (like Neil Gaiman) of a contemporary fantasy writer doing work across multiple media: computer games, novels, comics, etc. Here's an interview with Nylund at BookSpot Central on the occasion of his new five-book fantasy series coming out from Tor, the top U.S. publisher of science fiction and fantasy:

My writing has taken a leap forward because of the Halo novels. The audience for those stories has an extraordinarily low tolerance for literary fluffery. They like a good story and they like it told cleanly and efficiently. It’s been an education on how to broaden my writing style to reach a gigantic audience.
