What's the story behind your latest book?
I spent years trying to crack a very complex fantasy series but it turned out that I don't have the skill set to write it just yet because of it's narrative structure so I decided to do something that was far more linear.
Going back to the drawing board I was trying to choose between a science-fiction series set on a far away world or a fantasy series set in a post-apocalypse Earth. In the end, I realized that both stories shared a similar theme and could intersect each other in a very fun way which created a much larger and far more complicated world.
The Keystone Staff itself was a difficult book to work out because it needed to introduce the world but also be a brisk fantasy adventure. When the series is complete, you'll find a lot more was written in that book than you previously realize.
