On Reddit.com there is a sub-reddit called /r/Fantasy, where all things fantasy related are discussed. They have a Writer of the Day segment, where a fantasy author will submit months in advance to come on a certain day and do a AMA (Ask Me Anything) to the group. Below is the link to that with some great questions asked. Reddit’s…

I was recently interviewed by the authorinterviews Blog and gave a lot of details into my writing, books, some history and things that have inspired me. Click the link below to read the interview. Here is my interview with Jon Ray
(Two small creatures that appear on the back of the “Gorp: Goblin Janitor” new book cover.)

Last night with 50384 words, I crossed the 2017 NaNoWriMo Winners line by going over the 50k word count. However, “Gorp 2: Dungeon Overlord” is proving to be a much longer novel than the first one “Gorp: Goblin Janitor“.
