I had the distinct pleasure of talking with host and renowned book reviewer David Walters (fanfiaddict.com) about reading, writing, inspirations, research, reenacting, Instagram pastry, and growing up with an author as a father.

The Traitor Son Cycle is the Perfect Hair of the Dog for your Game of Thrones Hangover
“…you should pick up The Traitor Son Cycle by Miles Cameron. It has all of the dragons and knightly battles and magic and sprawling cast of characters and epic stakes and deep historical roots of Game of Thrones. In fact, it exceeds Game of Thrones on almost all of those measures.”

Fall of Dragons Publication Day
It’s launch day, at least in the UK. I started writing these novels in 2012. I think there’s at least 2400 pages of material, and I could write more. It’s odd to say goodbye. However, I want to take this space to discuss origins and books I loved, not endings. Who knows, maybe Gollanz will…
