Hello all! So it’s been a couple of weeks now, it looks like sales are going well! Thanks BTW! So I know I haven’t been around in a while since I published Drakin and for that I do apologize.

So this isn’t going to be one of my typical Q&A posts. I’ll get back to those later. This is likely about to be little more than an editorial rant, if anything. Let’s get started… So I just finished playing Mass Effect 3. … and already half of my readers probably know what this is going to be about. I love the series. … Read More All Build Up, No Payoff: The Problem with Open Endings

Saw this while browsing the wordpress pages. It’s a pretty good read! Having read another bloggers serial fantasy story (in collaboration with someone else) it’s inspired me to have a go at writing my own fantasy story. My main objective is to have fun writing it. Some of the names I’ll be using such as Tigreralat, Larantel, or Salané are old names for me. … Read More A Story about Steampunk Sky Pirates? Yes please!

Hi Jim, I just finished reading Divinity and… admittedly I’m a little confused. In your disclaimer, you make it very clear that you’re a catholic, though you acknowledge the misdeeds of your own church. Then you go onto make the Pope a villain and most angels in the story mistrusting, corrupt, or extremely arrogant. Reading your story… one might think you were agnostic.

Hi Jim, I’m currently writing a sci-fi fantasy novel. Right now, I’m in the process of coming up with characters and want to add a non-humanoid to the cast. Admittedly, I’m having trouble making him relatable. I really love this character and want people to enjoy him. This isn’t going to come out right, but how do I make him more human… without making him … Read More Bringing out Humanity in Non-Human Characters

Hi Jim, I was hoping you could give us a better idea of what Dragon’s Bane is and how it works. You kind of touch upon it a little in the story and that seems like a major plot point in your character development. Thanks, Matt Hi Matt, Well… I thought I gave enough detail about what it was exactly, but I’d be happy … Read More A Drakin Question!? (SPOILERS!)
