"You Want Me To Put the Hammer Down?"

I am simply beside myself with glee to inform you that I got to do an interview with Mirriam Neal of Thoughts of a Shield-Maiden.  (Oh yes, it was like pulling teeth to get in.  Mirriam didn't want to do an interview...)  She and I had a blast.  She came up with some fantastic questions for me to answer about myself and The Shadow Things.  I'm going to give you a peek, but go see the rest for yourself!  Thank you again, Mirriam!  You are simply too much fun.

sneak-peek question

Who was your favourite character to write?

Honestly, Indi was. Since day one, page one, with the pending storm and Thern and the beetle, I enjoyed writing Indi. Even in his worst, confused moments he was a familiar, safe sort of person to be around and work with. And I learned a lot from him, too. You can’t go through a story like that and watch a fellow hold up in the name of God and for the love of God under such provocations without all the doctrines and principles you hold becoming something more than just words to you.

(Be sure to pick up an extra packet of enthusiasm at the door!  I took three.)
