Listen to my conversation on the 30-Minute Author Interviews podcast

I was interviewed on episode 72 of Preston Leigh’s 30-Minute Author Interviews podcast.


In the show I talk on a range of topics, including: my Wasteland series, writing 52 short stories in a year, my writing process, and the time I was a security detail for Patrick Stewart.


I had a blast doing it, so let me know what you think of the interview. Click HERE to listen now.
