I guess I've not led an interesting enough life to have it be a plot of a book. No big mysteries here. If I were to try to fictionalize it, I guess I would write about a terrible monster that devours lives and snuffs out good people before their time. It would be a metaphor for cancer that took my father when I was just nine years old, and my sister when she was in her early 20's and recently married. It'd feel good to be the one to vanish that beast!

I have absolutely loved your books and learning about your journey with the extras in the backs of the Orbit editions of your books. I am a new author in the fantasy genre and I have just self-published my book "Start of the Storm: Trials of Transcendence Volume I" on Amazon. Is there any advice you would give aspiring writers like me for marketing my book and gaining a following?

Have you thought about donating (or have already donated) your time or some merchandise to the Worldbuilders Fundraising event? I'd love to see an ARC or first draft signed by you or have the chance to get some Limited Edition Riyria copies from the lottery. Just some thoughts. :P
