My favorite new character isn't new, but more fleshed out - Gadd, the alekeep at the Tunnel. He's got him some teeth and tats. His history is hinted at in Discourse, and I plan to explore it more in later books.

I always work from outline and almost always write out of sequence. It just works for me.

I loved The Weird (one of the stories in it inspired Blackalley in Discourse).

Fantasy allows for less rigorous worldbuilding and more vigorous exploration of moral questions. Sci-fi is opp.

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

[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.

The Disney deal created some wrinkles. I'm under contract. But I'm on standby.
