Missed the AMA
Posted at 22:24h, 13 OctoberI just went to your twitter page, that is apparently where the good news is, not on your website haha.
Well I missed the AMA but the other interview was quite good. My AMA if you would answer it is:
If you were to expand into a visual format, could/would it be Graphic Novel (Manga)? It is the one visual medium that does extremely well with Serious Comedy and can highlight the comedy from two people misunderstanding the situation inside their own head. I think Amazon also has a kindle unlimited for graphic novels (manga), and it might sync with the audio overlay.

Posted at 08:15h, 26 SeptemberDear Kel
Your books have become an absolute addiction – I have been so immersed that you take me away from my own work and I only feel ‘lost’ when I finish your books. Unfortunately I have finished the 5th – (and Wesson)
I have to be really rude and say that I do hope you are and have been sweating with pen and ink over book 6 – I mean. … I am sure there must some crime of “cruelty to readers”.!
It is a long time since I have found it difficult to read another book after completing one that demands full attention and the consequent feeling of loss.
In the meantime please just crack on with it a sap!!
Many thanks

Posted at 19:02h, 20 SeptemberCan you stream your word document as you write KDT book 6. It could be on either Twitch or YouTube. Just make sure to turn off comments and the like. You could make it so that only Patreon member get to view if you wanted. If you talk while you type, even better. You can explain your process and why characters choose what they do. I am sure the draft will be different from the final product anyway. I suppose it would be like posting a chapter per day on RoyalRoad and then Publishing it on Amazon.

Posted at 21:58h, 10 SeptemberFrom a fellow fantasy loving Texan, your mind is gorgeous and amazing. Not to mention the rest of your person. You are definitely one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to see what comes next. I have read the Dark Tidings series 4 times and working on my 5th with the release of book 5. Keep it going please, I wanna see what your beautiful mind comes up with next.
