Interview with Tom Tancin

Check out this interview with Tom Tancin...here's a sneak peek:

How much of your writing is based on your own experience as a child or teenager?
My Time Warriors series is science-fiction but it teaches the reader about friendship and the challenges you face to keep the friendship alive. It also shows the importance of friends and families. That is based on the fact that my friends and family helped me face the most challenging time of my life. When I was in middle school and high school, my dad was battling a lung disease. He was given 5 years to live and put on a list for a lung transplant. My friends and family were there for me and helped me through that time. And they never left my side. My dad eventually got the transplant and is living a pretty normal life now. So I think that the relationship aspect of the series came from a real life challenge and translated into the sci-fi challenge that is so big in the series.
