So many otherppl podcast highlights over the years, but one that always sticks out for me was the interview with Sam Tallent. Sam's skills as a comedian and a conversationalist were on full display, and Brad did a great job mining the rich intersection between comedy and literature. #otherppl1000

It appears that I'm going to need a new fantasy cover designer for Book Two in my epic fantasy series. I'm open to suggestions/pitches if you know of a cover designer whose style is in the vein of Book One. Thanks everyone!

So be free. Learn your craft, create your art, and put it out into the world for others to see uncontaminated by automated plagiarism, state approval, or corporate mediocrity. Only through the act of creation do we flourish, and we surrender it at our peril. 6/7

I write of doomed love. In the beginning, it is only love, and, with a hopeful heart, charts a path toward permanence. But, unbeknownst to the lovers, the heavy hammer of fate awaits, that terrible instrument of sad stories. I write epic fantasy. #iwriteepicfantasy

I write of the road and its many wonders and dangers, of the unspoiled beauty unfolding round the next bend, of the thieves lying in wait, of the million possibilities inherent to the unknowable journey. I write epic fantasy. #iwriteepicfantasy

I write of the whisperers to power, the ones who play the game on a knife's edge. I write of their guile, their craft, of their missteps and the mad measures they take to prevent it all from unraveling. I write of the lies they tell to keep difficult truths, and of...

I write of ancient trees, limbs gnarled and twisted, timeless and terrible secrets stored in their roots. I write of their godlike patience, their transcendent indifference to the human world. I write epic fantasy. #iwriteepicfantasy

I write of the full moon, soaked in starlight, beckoning witches to dance, wildlife to gambol, lovers to rendezvous, conspirators to plot. I write of the wickedness and the wonder and the hope that it inspires. I write epic fantasy and urban fantasy. #iwriteepicfantasy #iwriteurbanfantasy

I write of the forgotten heroes and heroines, the ones erased by history's cruel pen. I write of the great sacrifices they made in the margins while the world shrugged and slept. I write epic fantasy. ##iwriteepicfantasy

I write of the dragon that flies east at dawn, racing on great leathery wings toward the fiery genesis of existence, that twin to the same life-force burning deep within the dragon's hungering gullet. I write epic fantasy. #iwriteepicfantasy

I write of tyrant kings and merciless queens, paranoid and ill-humored, their dreams soaked in the blood of the vanquished. I write of the way they are changed by their madness into something inhuman. I write epic fantasy.
