INTERVIEW: Fantasy Author Madilynn Dale


Madilynn Dale
Oklahoma City, OK
USA



Good morning, Madilynn, and welcome to Vision and Verse. What have you written?
 
I have written six total novels and published several short stories which can be found widely. They span several genres including fantasy, romance, young adult, dark fantasy, steamy romance, erotica, paranormal, and adventure. 


What is your favorite genre to write? 


I love to write fantasy. I enjoy incorporating magic and adventure into my story with fascinating characters. 



Favorite food.


My favorite food is French Fries.


Tea or coffee? Wine or beer or soda or what? 


I love coffee but will drink tea on occasion.



Pizza or ice cream?


Pizza.



Wine or beer or soda or what???


Wine and pop, as we call it in my area.



Where would you like to visit? 


One of my bucket list places is Scotland and Ireland. A big part of my family is originally from there and it would be fun to explore. 




Favorite musical artist

. 

This changes for me regularly and even more so when I write. Lately I’ve been drawn to a lot of music by Imagine Dragons.




Do you listen to music when you write? What? 


Yes and no. Some days I can and others I can’t. I typically will listen to a playlist I’ve put together for my books or listen to pop via serious XM.




What makes you laugh? 


That’s hard to pin down but a lot of silly humor with book characters, my son acting silly, and funny incidents in books. 






How old were you when you started writing?

 

The first story I remember creating for fun was when I was in either 4th or 5th grade. It was about my dog and how he went on different adventures. I even drew pictures to go along with the story. 



Do you plan out your book with outlines and notecards? Or just write? 

I start by making a rough outline and then let it go from there. My characters tend to takeover and carry the story and sometimes things happen I wasn’t expecting. 





Describe your perfect evening. 


An evening where I don’t have 

to do anything and can just read and relax. As a parent those rarely happen. 




Where do you get your inspiration?


 I get my inspiration from all over the place. Music, people, books, colors, and movies are just a few. 




What do you do when you get a writer's block?

 

When I get writers block I step away from the computer and do something different that still creative. I draw or even hand write on my story. Going for a walk and getting outside helps as well. 




Who is your favorite author?

 

My most recent is Sarah J Maas. 




Best book you ever read.

 

Throne of Glass series Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas



Last book you read. 


Amongst the Killing by Joe Compton




What would you do for a living if you weren’t a writer? 


I’m also a licensed Physical Therapy Assistant so I would continue doing that. 




Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most and why? 


My mother. She is strong, independent and can handle anything that is thrown at her. 


         




If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or 


fictional, who would it be and why? 


I would have to pick Andrzej Sapkowski, creator of the Witcher Series. I would love to know more of where he got his inspiration, feel out his world building, characters, and more. 

                                                       


What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a 


writer? 


Start writing. Put any judgement you have on yourself away and write. Don’t worry about perfection and editing. Finish your story.
