Braelyn would win some award for "Having all this crap happen to me and yet I'm still standing" at the end of the series 😆 that or she'd win a "best mom" award, and it would've been handcrafted by Malicai.

Living, I'd have to pick S.M. Gaither. She's quickly become my favorite author. Dead, I'd say Tolkien. I really don't think I would've become a fantasy author without his inspiration.

#SFFChat Q4
#BloodMoon, a GTWA Halloween Special
“Green Thorn Warband, along with the town of Gelwood, is preparing to celebrate the night of “All Hallows Eve.” However, the sanctity of remembrance is threatened by the presence of a fear-instilling blood moon, and the rumors of vampirism”
#SFFChat Q3
Lifetime achievement for Roderick of the Green Thorn Warband would be that the town of Gelwood no longer has need for a mercenary/adventurer class
i.e, all problems can be handled by day-laborers
#SFFChat Q2
I aint ever tried to co-write, so it’d be a very interesting experience to try, but me personally, I’d be down to work with @voicesofvalhoon.bsky.social
I like their style and their focus on character personalities would likely mesh well with my action/lore building
(me thinks)
#SFFChat Q1
#HeartofOak is a full-bodied fantasy adventure with a pound of grandiose world building, thoroughly mixed with a multitude of spices, like family trauma, survivor’s guilt, self-discovery
Held together with the sauce of “What-if’s” & “rapid escalation”
#SFFChat (Day late)
Name’s Emil Bronze, my favorite recipe is Outback’s Cheesy potato soup. It’s a hearty multi-day meal that’s very satisfying and keeps your stomach warm for hours

Her name is Tourr'di. She's an Early Neanderthal woman. Her Lifetime Achievement Award has to do with her literal lifetime. She was born some 250,000 years ago and is the oldest hominin to ever exist, by astronomical units.

#SFFChat Q3:
Savitri is canonically a renowned woman, from her immense work with the Fed of Earth Societies as Director to her philanthropy in her later years.
Savitri would likely win the equivalent of a peace prize, though the Nobel no longer exists in her time
#SFFChat Okay but like being a bear sounds fun, if my wife's chill w/ it, might stay that way. Can you work part time as a zoo animal??
this was so much fuuun - if anyone wants some quick science-y reads here's my newsletter archive!!

#SFFChat Q4 In that darkest moment before dawn, something that was not the sun rose above the horizon.
#SFFChat Q3 Oh lord, Sam technically has war medals that count? So if he got anything beyond that it would likely have to do with any sort of peace resolution in the war. Or maybe one day I'll allow him to retire and he can go back to writing poetry 💀💀💀
Thanks for a fun mashup of Q's & answers #SFFChat!
As I'm running a sale, I'd love this shared, about book 1 of the series my recipe for today's SFFChat was about.
#SFFChat one day a giant red sphere appears on Earth. People gather in hysteria predicting it is an alien emissary from the stars. All contact is left unanswered. Carefully people approach. It is resistant to all attempts to open it. Eventually we get inside and find material we revere as a gift
#SFFChat Q2 anyone 🥺 no fr, I love TTRPGs so much because I like telling stories collaboratively, pls you don't know how much fun I think co-writing something is
I think me and my fellow name-neighbor Percy Shelley need to have words that'd be cool
or anyone !! I WANNT TOO SOOO BAAAAAAAAD
A CEO turned up dead first. Then a cleaner. Unexplained deaths occurred among people of all ages and walks of life. There was no trace of illness, or a killer.
New tech used by forensics extracted the last image every deceased person saw; a glowing red orb, surrounded by darkness.

#SFFChat Q1 Preheat the Oven to 50,000 Kelvin, Mix a Poet, Forced Enlistment, War Crimes, Corporate Cults, Near-Extinct Humanity and Alt. Universe Particle Physics in a pan. Bake for 10 to the −43 power seconds. DO NOT look at the Orb. Feeds Zero.

#SFFChat Sana: staying in bed while awake
Kara: escaping all of human society / ambassador of supernaturals and cryptids
By the time its been a lifetime, I'm sure Rarkin will have grown to the point where he's able to accept such (or any) award, because he has finally come to value his own worth.
I think his lifetime award would be 'services to humanity,' but to explain that would be major book 4/4 spoilers
#SFFChat
#SFFChat these questions always reveal my severe lack of knowledge of other writers but I would probably only collaborate with indies if someone could match my craziness
#SFFChat Hi I'm PJ - After awakening from Cryostasis, Grape Jelly, Meatballs and Chili Sauce explore the great ship Crock Pot as an amalgamation of delicious snackage to be devoured by the Gods if they can't escape
(not fair I haven't had dinner yet)
To shift gears after 2 decades writing fairly serious (with banter) epic fantasy & SciFi-Fantasy, into SFF comedy I sometimes have ideas about, I'd love to write with Douglas Adams.
(I know, no longer with us, but I'm an ADHDer who forgets every author they've read or know for these Q's.)
#SFFChat
Dust off childhood trauma
Stuff with new friendships
Sprinkle hope throughout
Pour in challenge & tension
Excavate queerness & neurodivergence & place on top
Throw into blender with monsters, magic, crime & revolution.
Set some parts on fire. Light up the world.
-Recipe for Sythe Series. #SFFChat
