On this episode we spoke with Patrick Carr, author of the Staff and Sword Series, about his venture into the Darkwater Saga and the Shock of Night.

A trilogy of trilogies awaits!

In these episodes, Patrick keeps us laughing. Also, you'll never believe how accident prone Patrick is!a1lciw73q9l-_ux250_

All of us wax nostalgic at some point...you'd think we're old or something!

In Episode 29

  • Odd character traits with Patrick's main character. (How does sleep walking and murders correlate?)
  • Writing with an unreliable protagonist.
  • Hating your writing while you're writing.
  • Juggling. Emergency room visits! We manage to gross Aaron out. How Patrick uses his own accidents to inform his books.
  • How to recast your books from one setting to another when your editor and agent tell you to.
  • Fencing stories! Some engineering talk, which is totally fascinating.
  • Googling has some interesting answers...including how dogs see.
  • We get off into old time radio and radio broadcasts in general because of Patrick's answer to the superhero question.
  • You will NEVER guess Patrick's answer to his Captain. Never, never, never!
  • Patrick's looking forward to teaching a class at Realm Makers!
