Today’s episode is an conversation with author and Magic Engineer Clark “C.R.” Rowenson. It’s a terribly interesting conversation if I say so myself, because we dig into some factors that an author may consider when building a world and magic system. Clark Rowenson has his own YouTube channel, and you can also find him at the links below.

In this conversation with book editor Kara Espy, we talk about…the humanity and future of AI??? Well, sure! It was a great discussion. We get hypothetical and even philosophical. Jump in with us.

Today I’m sharing a conversation with Author LL Nelson about the author journey: the ins and outs that eventually brought her here. Every author has a different journey but there are some common threads that you’ll often hear in these interviews, as each person learns and finds his or her own way to authorship.
