I've read the thing twice. Cover to cover. Only threw it at the wall once, which is pretty good for me. We have a lot of angels and demons chucking around behind the scenes, and a few in the foreground. I wasn't raised in any religion. Weird for the United States, where we have knee-jerk...

We write Urban Fantasy with a heavy dose of politics, gods (sssh!), monsters, and a city plopped onto the Pacific Northwest coast, 160 miles SW of Seattle, where in reality a town called Tokeland sits. I can't make that up and we write some really silly shit. People also get eaten. Rather a...

This is an excellent discussion on how Epic Fantasy gives us certain challenges and advantages with a traditionally large cast. Personally, I think I've already inflicted this on our readers. Maybe slowing down? lol

Welcome to Scribes, hon. Being an author is a really weird balance between loving to read and loving to write. Not much about loving to people, but for as small as it is, interacting with readers and other creators is the crucial bit that can make or break a modern literary career. It's weird...

Our therian are essentially animals that turn into people. We have bears. A couple of different varieties, from black bears to Grizzly to Kodiak to Polar. Also lions and tigers and another 42 types from all around the world. Oh my! To get that sort of global coverage - and have it be plausible...

Gotta love the smell of conflict in the morning. ;)

I think I read those! I was 11 or 12, but I remember something about a vacuum-dwelling leviathan and needing to help it?

OMG I kind of love this. But, we also all know I'm a freak. I could make this work...

We have flower faeries, who are dusted in pollen that can get one rather high. Our faerie knight in tarnished armor has several friends among their number, which has gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.

Did somebody say monologue? ;) From Faerie Rising. ~~~ Cian’s breath was coming in short, sharp gasps. It was his fault? His parents had died because of him? But he looked back to Midir and again saw that smile. This time anger kindled in his belly, burning back the guilt and some of the fear...

This popped into my head about our next book and it just keeps making me smile. ~~~ The dragon Char is only about 500 years old and not exactly on anyone's Who's Who list, so he's not really attracting the best of the best to his court in the wilds of Montana. Jessie: Wait. You mean we're being...

Yeah, I feel that. Of course, I can also hit 'ridiculous' right out of the park. ;)

It's one of my favorite things. lol Tanya Huff has a short story or two that play with the List. Absolutely hysterical. She's who I look to for how to write dialogue.

We totally have monologuing baddies. Poor things have no one to talk to about this grand, life altering plan. So much time and energy, but no one gets it. Not a soul. Until you. You get it. Now shutting him up's the trick.
