"Consumers consume...We want exactly what we want, and we want it now. That’s true of buying a car or a refrigerator or a work of fiction. The reader who approaches a work of fiction as a consumer expects a recognizable formula." True?

I got to interview a legend for today’s post. More than that, Juliet Marillier has been an inspiration and a writing hero to me. Her new book is incredibly timely and relevant to today’s chaotic world. Check it out!

I made this cover for Philip last year, was very excited to be asked to go back to my graphic design roots on this one. I wanted to pay tribute to the other Edan covers but as this is an offshoot of sorts, try something a bit different!

If you on the fence about The Sundered Nation, & you want to read some insightful reviews from a keen & prolific SFF reader, check Quinn's reviews of The Severing Son and Bold Ascension. I know reviews are for readers not authors, but IMHO Quinn fully grasps exactly what I strove to accomplish.
