Usually when people sing along to the “Ghostbusters” song by Ray Parker, Jr., and they get to the “Who you gonna call?” part, they don’t yell out, “MY! AGENT!” But as writer Dan Hanks explains in the following email interview about his British folklore- and nostalgia-infused supernatural fantasy adventure novel Swashbucklers (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), that’s exactly what he did…when he got home.
We’ve all walked out of movies and imagined what our hero might do next. But Dan Hanks didn’t just do that after seeing Indiana Jones And The Crystal Skull. He turned his idea into a reality — sort of — by reconfiguring it into a novel, and with a different hero, he calls Captain Moxley And The Embers Of The Empire (paperback, Kindle). In the following email interview, Hanks discusses what else inspired and influenced this epic adventure story, as well as who he’d like to see play the good captain if this novel ever gets turned into a movie.
