INTERVIEW

What is on your nightstand?
Axiom’s End by Lindsay Ellis. I love her online content but I’ve only just started diving into her book.
What author would you totally fan?
I started out in the online serial space before releasing books on Amazon and I chat with a lot of writers on that same journey. I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy a measure of success and I love it when others find their way on the same path.
What makes you cringe?
There are plenty of great female authors and characters in my genre but some of the online treatment of them makes me very uncomfortable.
Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
I have a framework for my entire series but it’s a very loose framework that gives me plenty of room to explore. It gives me the freedom to go with the flow with the confident that I have a road map to keep me from getting lost.
Is there a word you love to use?
Not especially. There are words I love and I like to employ a nimble vocabulary but I try to avoid excessive repetition. That being said, in later books, the word Airwolf gets used a lot more than people might expect from a fantasy adventure series.

Bonus. If you have any pictures of your pet you would like to share, please attach them. My readers love animals!
My living situation precludes pets, which is sad because I grew up with cats and dogs. My mum lives on the far side of the state, and while we video chat a lot but she’s been quite lonely after my father and then her dog passed away. I’ve bought her an adorable little puppy but I don’t have any pictures yet because she’s not quite old enough to take home. The puppy, I mean. My mum has been old enough for a while.

The path from retail middle management to interdimensional wizard adventurer wasn’t easy, but Jason Asano is settling into his new life.

Now, a contest draws young elites to the city of Greenstone, competing for a grand prize. Jason must gather a band of companions if he is to stand a chance against the best the world has to offer.

While the young adventurers are caught up in competition, the city leaders deal with revelations of betrayal as a vast and terrible enemy is revealed. Although Jason seems uninvolved, he has unknowingly crossed the enemy’s path before. Friends and foes made along the way will lead him to cross it again as inevitable conflict looms.

In the middle of penning a dry academic paper, Shirtaloon had a revelation: he desperately needed to write something very silly. To his surprise and delight, he found a warm and welcoming audience in the world of online serialized fiction. Transitioning his work into actual books, he is continually startled at the appetite for his particular blend of high magic, wild adventure and absurd nonsense. Success has allowed him to fund an excessive board game collection he doesn’t have time to play because he’s always writing. The unplayed games sit on the shelves behind him as he works, silently judging.
