Verene over at The Pale Tree blog threw us some excellent questions, and Bobby Stein, Peter Fries, and I did our best to blather all over her blog.

There’s nothing tender about Miskowski’s treatment of her characters. With bald honesty, she paints a picture of rural America that leaves you shivering. [...]

Someone contacted me recently with this question. He wanted to know how to get his novel turned into a video game.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Many games include races that are non-human, and these are the toughest to write for. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking like a human writer, which you are, and writing dialogue that your fictional race would never say.
