Loved your book! Can you tell me what part of your writing process you enjoy the most and what part the least?
Nicholas Eames
Hi Ned! I'm so glad you loved the book! And thank you for the question.
The best part about the writing process is getting into a groove with dialogue, when the characters sort of 'take over' and you just glide along with them. Also, nailing a particularly troubling paragraph after HOURS of agonizing over every word of it is great as well.
The worst? Well, to be honest: deadlines. I hate them. I know they're a necessary part of the business, but I've discovered that they stress me out real bad and I tend to write slower as they approach as opposed to faster. Hopefully, as I develop as a writer, I'll find habits and processes that help me be more productive when I do write, so I need not stress out when deadlines approach!
Thanks again for the question!

Hi, Nick (if I may call you that). Just finished Bloody Rose and I was thoroughly impressed. Such a great read. Chapter 43 (without giving anything away) was some of your best writing to date, and one of my favorite chapters of anything I've ever read. Now, every author's least favorite question -- What's next? The Band Book 3? Something else? Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it!

I've just finished Kings of the Wyld, thought it was a really great read! I know you've mentioned before that your inspiration was treating Heroes/Adventurers like Rock Stars, and that really shows. When I was reading it though, mainly because of my own background, I was getting a really heavy (and awesome) 'D&D' vibe... I was wondering if you're a Tabletop player/DM yourself? And, if so, was it an inspiration at all?
