Meet the author of the Kilenya Chronicles, Mosaic Chronicles, and the Koven Chronicles, a marketing master, and JC's good friend: Andrea Pearson.

She and JC talk about how authors can be successful financially and creatively as they "catch the bug" for writing. Also, some of her bad experiences with writing groups. Who knew that could happen?

It's a good one, folks!

Get the greatest scoop on the internet, Grey Alder's interview with the one and only JC Bybee.

Everything from his inspirations as a writer to what superpowers he'd choose. Enjoy the witty banter between two writers, and let us know who else we need to interview in the comments!

In this episode, we talk through the writing tools we use, how we give feedback, and how much structure actually helps when drafting a novel. Along the way, we critique chapters dealing with action scenes, character motivation, pacing, consequences, and the problem of a protagonist who may be too reactive.
