An interview with me about my co-written sword & sorcery story The Many Mouths of the Endless Night in Tales from the Cursed Edge from Edge Weaver Books. Pay no attention to all the nerd stuff in the background. I'm actually pretty cool.

Write because you are going to run out of everything else: time, money, fucks to give. But you will never run out of your own bullshit. You could live forever on this unlimited fuel of emotional damage and charm. Plus people think you're funny. You're such a good writer. Live mΓ‘s.
