I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know what to make of it all. My thoughts were screaming that she knows, but…if she knew, wouldn’t she already be taking action, not setting me up with opportunities to extricate myself from her enclave? Each of my novels that I've written (six books across 3 series) originally started as a writing prompt, actually, and was then published chapter by chapter to my readers as they were written. Silvertongue was no different, and sometimes it's tough to say exactly where that spark comes from. But a simple concept was presented - an immortal or very ancient being, working behind the counter at a McDonald's - and then my mind went crazy trying to come up with rational explanations for how that would be possible. Why he'd be there. How he's so old. I had a bit of a gift. Well, that’s how I liked to think about it. It had taken a few years to figure out - all languages sounded exactly the same to me. No matter if I was speaking to someone blabbering on in French or chattering in Italian, it all came across as plain old English. So, the TL:DR version - there are definitely some issues in Silvertongue that could be seen as related, but they're a step removed and run as subtext to the main storyline rather than the central focus.Greg?” someone called from across the store. A manager, judging by the color of their uniform. Their voice was carefully cheerful. “What’s going on?”

Ma’am,” I heard a man say, his voice cool and even. I crept closer to the door, enough for me to see out into the meeting room beyond.

Forced to take up the mantle of hero in his place, Jas begins his journey up the mountain. But the road is long, with enemies around every corner and answers waiting at the summit that threaten to shake his world to its very foundation. There was a ton of action, but when things slowed down, the main characters were still under a lot of stress and pressure. I felt like I needed to take breaks in between reading it, and it makes sense because it was originally serialized. I thought the pacing was off because of this, but not enough to take too much away from my enjoyment. When it rumbled to life, filling the world with hastily-awoken legends of old monsters and ancient evils, Jas knew better than to be afraid. Their nation had a secret of its own: a hero, in the form of his best friend Darren. Whatever threatened Goldenvale, they’d face it together. Casey: I think like many authors in our generation, I did start out by dabbling in fanfiction when I was a teenager. But since that's a whole mess I think a LOT of us would like to just forget, we'll move straight past it!
