edit data

S.J. Saunders was born in a hospital, grew up in a country, and currently lives in a house. A small percentage of the world's population is related to him, though that number increased slightly when he married a woman. He has likes and dislikes, and is probably above average height.

Now, if that's not enough information to convince you that he's an entirely organic human being and not a flesh-coated robot, I don't know what is! ...more

Popular Answered Questions

I found your Future's Birth series after it being posted in an unusual place VERY recently, & I think it's a great idea, as I've spent more money I've found on books there than anywhere else over the last 5 years... 2 questions: 1) Do you plan on doing more releases that way? 2) Do you enjoy narrating your own books? The series is now at the top of my TBR list because of the release method. I'll review honestly.

S.J. Saunders Thanks for the feedback! It's often hard to tell the response to such things with any clarity.

1) I'm absolutely open to releasing more books in that and similar unconventional ways (after an appropriate release window for patrons and such), but the catch for previously released books lies in shared rights. Producers of past audiobooks would have to sign off on such things.

2) This means that I enjoy narrating my own audiobooks for a couple of reasons. First, it's fun. I've always enjoyed trying out different voices, and, between producing my audiobooks and game mastering different tabletop RPGs, I'm living the dream on that front. Second, if I make everything myself (or pay for the work up front, as I did with Nest of Intrigue), I own everything free and clear. I can do whatever I want with those books. And what I want is for more people to have a chance to find them. Unfortunately, I have no professional performance education, but I hope that I've at least improved as I've gone along. Isle of Storms especially is a bit rough...

Thanks in advance for the reviews, and I hope you find some enjoyment in my weird stories!(less)

Well, it's been a bit. For any who don't know, both Rachel and I (not pictured above, as it's Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker who are depicted, seeing as how they're a favorite literary couple of mine) have been dealing with some health issues for a while which, while not seeming to be life-threatening, have drastically slowed the process of book production. As it stands, I have a couple of manus
