With young kids (I have four including the newborn) times passes weirdly for me.

My goal is to write stories that are connected, but not sequels in any meaningful sense. Like Howard's Conan tales or Leiber's Fahrrd & the Great Mauser stories.

[Writing] is harder than you think. You'll be rejected often. If you do it for money, you'll quit. Love it or don't do it.

I like to keep the world, to some degree, an implied setting.

Original work has no floor and no ceiling. You can reach essentially zero readers or millions.

I'm unstuck in time. Also, I juggle like mad and have made myself efficient.

Cale is my signature character in the Forgotten Realms. The most popular character I've written. He's a thief, an assassin, and eventually, a priest who stabs his own god in the chest. Always trying to slip his past, but never succeeding. Dark dude. Brooding dude. Born killer. But honorable, still.
