In this episode, I dive into the troubles of training a calf to a halter as well as rationing feed for and raising meat chickens. I talk about the release of my next book Dragon Blooded, and the plan to publish the rest of the series a little more quickly than I have in the past, including some unexpected planning.
With Zachary, we discuss the importance of setting up characters and making sure the writing is authentic from the place of their specific personality. Zachary shares how co-authoring has helped both him and his co-author stay within the bounds they set for each character and how authenticity makes the story ring true regardless of genre or reader.
