Interspecies Romances in Fantasy: Where Do You Draw The Line? #Writing #Advice #Fantasy

So this isn’t actually a question that someone asked. It’s something I’m currently encountering in a book I’m working on where a dragoness and a human male develop feelings for one another… and someone ‘suggested’ it might be bestiality (ugh!). Not only that, we see it in various other stories as well. In The Orville, we see an amoeba-like creature hitting on a human … Read More Interspecies Romances in Fantasy: Where Do You Draw The Line? #Writing #Advice #Fantasy

Keeping your Readers in the Know #Writing #Author #Advice

Hi Jim, I see you’ve got a new book coming out. I’m also working on getting a book published, and I was wondering how you decide how much information you release on your book at a time. Like, if your book isn’t published yet, do you worry about releasing too much information that someone could steal? Or that you may be giving too much … Read More Keeping your Readers in the Know #Writing #Author #Advice

Collaboration Copy #Writing #Author #Advice

Hello Jim, I have a question that… may be a bit strange and is more about author etiquette than writing itself. Some time ago, I’ve contacted the author of one of my favorite books, asking him whether he’d be okay with me making a reference/easter egg (or how people call it these days) to his book. I’ve already considered that quite daring but, to … Read More Collaboration Copy #Writing #Author #Advice

The Phoenix Effect: After Being Burned by Bad Reviews #Writing #Author #Advice

Hi Jim, I’m really upset about the feedback one of my book has been getting. For the most part, the reviews have been constructive, but they’ve mostly been negative. The book in question is a sequel to one that got a lot of positive reviews. The story had a great following, but now I’m afraid the sequel may have ruined it. I was really … Read More The Phoenix Effect: After Being Burned by Bad Reviews #Writing #Author #Advice
