Savage Seas

by Robert J. Defendi, Dan Quackenbush, Scott Taylor

The Life of a Sailor is Jade and Glory

The seas of Creation are a great road on which the riches of a hundred nations and the Realm itself travel. Yet they are also a place of grave danger, full of pirates, reefs and alien and unpredictable spirits of the waves. Many seek their fortunes there but few survive to enjoy them.

His Death Is Blood in the Wine-Dark Sea

Robert J Defendi was born in Dubuque, IA (in accordance with prophecy). He reads voraciously, if you consider audiobooks reading (which you shouldn’t). He has yet to find, conquer, and rule a small Central American country (but I think we all know that’s inevitable). He is neither Team Jacob nor Team Edward (he is sympathetic to Team Guy-Who-Almost-Hit-Bella-With-A-Truck). He shamelessly stole that last joke.

It’s Bob Defendi when he writes comedy. It’s Robert J Defendi for all other writing projects. No period after the J. Because he’s an ass who likes to make things difficult for publishers, that’s why.
