What's the story behind your latest book?
Well, "Edge of Dawn" is the final volume in the trilogy I have dubbed "The Slayer Series". Basically, it has always been the story of the noble Redwood Elf Trena Treelimb and the otherworldly bard Jacob "Slayer" Hope. Jacob has always been a very reluctant hero who doesn't really believe in himself as he finds himself unwittingly and unwillingly summoned to the land of Talmora and the world of Eradus to be a prophesied hero in the spirit of Lord Benderek Evilbane whose task it is to defeat Samhain Sharmat, the evil immortal who has been trying to free himself from the bonds that Lord Benderek placed him in for over two thousand years. Jacob doesn't believe in any of that "nonsense". He's not a hero. He's just a feeble and timid drug-addled musician. He is morally ambiguous and really doesn't know what he actually believes in. Trena Treelimb is there to guide him and lend him strength and to help him believe in himself and her own unreal, far out world. They become lovers - lovers that can never be together for life and can only be with each for a few brief periods over a span of several decades. Their relationship becomes more complicated and nuanced as the story progresses whilst they strive to finally utterly defeat Samhain Sharmat. "Edge of Dawn" is the culmination of the story of their often complex love relationship and their struggle against Samhain Sharmat.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Mainly the fact that I like to do things my own way. I have to do things my own way.
