An interesting time, to be sure. Some fascinating questions have been thrown at me.
Here are the goods, so you can see for yourself.
Success or Death – Making Every Character Count
April's theme at Fictorians was memorable characters, in which Ace Jordyn interviews me about the characters in The Seer. When she asks me about the Hidden City, I show her pictures. You can see them, too.The Big Idea
Author John Scalzi gives writers a chance to talk about the Big Idea in their books. Here I dive into the particular challenges of writing a main character who can see into the future.
"I had stepped into a very large pile of metaphysics; if someone can see the future, this implies significant truths about the nature of reality, truths that ripple out across this created world.What had I gotten myself into?"
A Dish Best Served Light
Inkpunks is a collective of authors, editors, and various other creatives. In this article, I compare narrative to fine dining.
"Remember in that one book, how you skimmed part of the narrative because it wasn’t all that tasty? Entirely skippable? Like smooshed peas, or aunt Cora’s beet-and-anchovy salad, a narrative you just didn’t want to consume?"
Book Bites: For Appearances
A humble recipe by my own self, inspired by one of many working lunches at the royal palace."This man is the Lord Commander of the empire, so he’s not going to be eating cheese and meat and a hunk of bread for a working lunch. How would that look? Appearances, after all."
Will Build Worlds for Spare Change
Why money matters so very much in world building. About coins, symbols, and historians who hate fantasy.
"I'm an historian", she said darkly. "I don’t read fantasy novels. They get the details all wrong."
