George... Can you recall the most hurtful or wrongheaded review, comment, or critique you've received on your work? (on or off the internet) Do you think this bit of feedback ended up shaping you in any way? If you were stuck in an elevator with the person who delivered that bit of feedback, what (if anything) would you say to the person?

Honestly, I don't think any of the critique I've received for Kingshelm was wrong at all. Even if I didn't agree with it, I could see where the criticism was coming from and understand why the person was giving it.

Bear in mind that all of the critique I've received for Kingshlem has been from beta readers, from friends and family. I don't have any stars or reviews posted online yet, so my answer could change with the passing of time...(less)

Druid and Celtic lore is a love of mine. How did you come to be fascinated with this historical lore?

George Hatt Hi, Karen!

Well, I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I first became interested in the druids through the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons. …moreHi, Karen!

Well, I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I first became interested in the druids through the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

Though the druids of history bear little resemblance to druids in high fantasy, they're still a fascinating subject to study--especially since we really know so little about them. I believe there's something like a grand total of 15 lines of text written about them by their contemporaries, and those sources are Greek and Roman.

I think the druids in my book blend elements from actual history, high fantasy convention, and the current druid revival in neopagan practice. I had great fun working and creating with that blend!(less)

Happy New Year!

It’s been a busy year, but you wouldn’t know it by reading my blog posts. We’ll try to remedy that in 2016. Last year was pretty quiet on the writing front, as well. That’s another thing that needs to change in 2016. In the meantime, Kingshelm is now $0.99 for a limited time. Pick it … Continue reading Happy New Year! Read more of this blog post »
