Interview with N. Joseph Glass, Author of Finding Idyllium

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Finding Idyllium?

The idea of a single parallel world intrigues me. More so, the concepts of how far is too far, and does the end justify the means? A father trying to balance the fate of billions with the prospect of saving his daughter was something I wanted to explore. These are at the heart of this story.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Finding Idyllium, what would they be?

“Red Hill Mining Town” by U2 would be for the protagonist and his dilemma. “We scorch the earth. Set fire to the sky. And we stooped so low. To reach so high.”

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Science fiction. And absolutely yes. I love reading and writing sci-fi.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Dune Messiah, Red Rising, Futureproof.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Just before crossing over, Saul goes for a jog and passes his ex-wife’s home. We delve into his loss and get a glimpse of his personal tragedy and the baggage he carries to Idyllium.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Only that I stay up late to write, it is when I seem to get my greatest inspiration.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

“Wherever you go, there you are.”

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Every decision has consequences, so choose wisely and never forfeit your humanity.
