Like many fantasy authors, I was introduced to the genre when I played my first game of Dungeons & Dragons. It was during a family camping trip in May, 1980, and as myself and two friends sat inside a travel trailer rolling dice and fighting orcs, the air outside became gritty and hard to breathe. It was permeated with the fine gray ash spewing out of Mt. St. Helens which was erupting just sixty miles to the north.

I live in western Oregon in the shadow of another active volcano, Mt. Hood.

I may not write a single word for five days, and then crank out 12,000 words in a weekend. Forcing myself through writer's block is like trying to nail gravy to a tree, so I set it aside for an hour or a day until creativity comes back to me. But when it does return, I heed the call and take advantage of it by writing as much as my energy will allow.(less)

My characters can have the personalities and actions I choose, and if I want to live vicariously through one of them, I can. Writing is one of the purest forms of freedom I know.(less)

“I'm here to rape, and pillage, and run off with all of your spoons.”
Steven Williamson

“Ohlen stood and walked around the clearing, examining the ground as he went. "I see only one set of tracks..." his voice trailed off as he knelt, inspecting the footprints more closely. "I've seen these before. This is the cru’gan.”
Ahmahn came over and bent down beside his friend. "Him? Do you mean the scarred one that has Mirra?"
"Either that or a ferocious rabbit wearing cru'gan boots," Ohlen said sardonically.”
Steven Scott Williamson, Ohlen's Arrow
