1. Have you and your girlfriend always had a long distance relationship? If so, are you at all worried about moving in together and how that may change the dynamic?

Yes. I am less worried about the dynamic-change than she is. I actually think it will help us a lot, being able to talk and be together and do stuff while both being in the same physical proximity as each other and not needing to both do the same thing to actually be DOING something together. It'll lead to some rough times, I have no doubt about that, but I'm confident we'll get through them.

2. What is your favorite D&D "setting", or do you only play in home brewed games? Why?

Birthright. Partly because it was the first real setting that I could not only get into, but get in on the ground floor. Partly because it was a pretty awesome setting that pushed some of the coventions of the genre without totally rewriting them. Partly because it was just freakin' cool to run an entire kingdom.

3. If you could write a novel and know that it would be published, what would the plot be?

Having already done the first part, I'm not sure how to entirely answer this... so I'll tell you about the NEXT novel I'm going to be writing: Blood Rain. Condensed version is that the sky over an entire continent starts unleashing the titular disaster, and a young woman travels to see her liege lord to insist he fulfill the duties of his lordship and find a way to undo the disaster. That meeting turns into one with the king himself, and the young girl finds herself in the position to earn a barony just by serving as an excuse to send the First Knight to investigate the source of the rain. Of course it isn't that easy...


4. If you could go back in time and tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?

Don't take the insurance job.

5. If you had the choice to know when and how you would die, would you want to know?

Heck no. Let it be a surprise; I'd never be able to live life functionally if I knew. I'd be too busy anticipating, or else trying to screw with fate to avoid the predestination.
