Hi Jim, You write a lot about endings and how important they are. I’m currently part of the way through my first book and was actually thinking about some of your advice. You seem to put a lot of stock in the ending, and I mean to the point where it’s the most important element to the story. I’m reminded of saying ‘it’s not … Read More Ending Importance or Lack Thereof #Writing #Author #Advice

SPOILER ALERT!!! Hi Jim, I actually picked up a copy of this book a while back and just got around to reading it. For the most part, I liked it, but I do have one question; were you trying to piss everyone off with that ending?

Was Radley sexually attracted to a woman that was essentially a giant lizard? How would that have even worked? Sexual attraction, at least in my opinion, is important to a relationship, so I don’t … Read More Intimate Love Without Sexual Intimacey?

Hi Jim, I was really interested in the way your books turned the narrative. In your first book, you had dragons completely vilified. These creatures nearly stole Earth from humans, they destroyed almost 7 billion lives, wiping out human society. These were evil creatures. However, then you moved into the idea that not all of them were evil. Some of them were benevolent or … Read More From Bad to Good, The Faction Switch! #Writing #Author #Advice
