I actually wrote this first book long ago, from age 18-25, when I had lost my license and fell on some hard times, getting my young life together. I just took off, not knowing where this journey of writing would take me. "Four Puppet Kings and a Fool" is the sequel, and yes, it is already out on Amazon! It is a sprawling epic that really shifts the focus from the protagonist of book 1-- to the antagonistic Sendyne Empire and many other power players around the world. Book 3, "Plutocracy of the Gods", is coming out very soon this year. I am about halfway done, but it will take a lot to conclude everything I want to tie up in this final book of the trilogy. I just made up the gladiator games that they play on Unaple', and I am glad you enjoyed it! It has a been a pleasure to discuss with you!

It sounds like A Sword of the Three Rivers was wild, but chaotic, exploration for a much younger you that you detailed over 7 years. That makes me curious, how long did it take to write book 2 and how long, assuming you finish book 3 later this year, will that one have taken?
Book 2 was written in about 3 months! I had epic Elder Scrolls and GoT music and Conan the Barbarian soundtracks playing in my head, as I scrambled furiously to the finish. Book 3 has been ongoing for several months now, but I hope it will be done in the next several months!

How did the idea of this book come to you?
You mention there’s more to come, and you’ve already written a sequel I believe. What are your plans for the series?
I liked the strange gladiator game they played for their wager - is that based on an actual gladiator event or did you make it all up?
