This episode of Sonitotum features my answers to questions asked by listeners — what the online folk call an “AMA” (Ask Me Anything). You know I tend to be long-winded, so of the six questions submitted, this episode covers three. Stay tuned for the other three in episode twenty three… you might want to subscribe so you don’t miss it! The Questions Rebecca Burns asked, “Have any of your story characters been influenced by real-life people (friends, enemies, colleagues, family, authors, politicians, actors, etc)–if so, who, how, and why? (and do they know or is it a secret homage?)” J. C. Hutchins asked, “What is your process for crafting believable, relatable characters in your fiction?” Rebecca also asked, “Who is your biggest cheerleader? Who encourages you to persevere as an artist?” Listen to the episode for my answers! Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode Brave Men Run, the first of my Sovereign Era novels
