| Clues everywhere! |
Last week, I received a
request for an interview from my alma mater. They saw the blurb that went out
about me in the alumni magazine.
RobRoy
McCandless, who received a Bachelor of Science in Speech Communication from
Eastern New Mexico University in 1996, has been a writer for over 20 years and
published his fourth novel, "The Clockwork Detective," last spring.
The
award-winning author, who was a 2015 EPIC eBook finalist and winner of the 2014
Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Preditors & Editors Reader's Poll in urban
fantasy, discusses how his time at ENMU prepared him for a lifetime of writing.
Why did you choose ENMU?
ENMU
wasn't even on my radar, but they sent me a postcard that piqued my interest. I
hadn't thought of a small university in a small town as the place for me, but
the more I considered the class size, the professor-to-student ratio and the
overall costs—even as an out-of-state student—the more sense it made. ENMU also
had a reasonably diverse student body, which for a guy from suburban Utah was a
powerful draw. When I found out that Dr. Jack Williamson, the "Dean of
Science Fiction," had attended and sometimes still taught, I was sold!
Why did you attend (or not attend) a
university?
