You would think that a whole group of people that invent entire WORLDS in their “free” time would love to talk to any and all readers.

But …

No …

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. We want to tell stories, but like, from over here. We write because we are not always very good at the face-to-face talkie thing. 

Don’t get me wrong, some authors are AMAZING at talking to the public at large, and their fans in particular. I feel like that must be some superpower granted to them from a radioactive papercut or something, because in my experience that is definitely the exception and not the rule. 

So please remember, when you are at a bookstore and see an author sitting by their lonesome at a signing table, staring intently at their phone or tablet, they are NOT ignoring you. They are simultaneously praying that you will buy all their books, but with a minimum of small talk. 

We WANT to tell you about our worlds, our characters, our stories that we have crafted through blood, sweat, and tears, and sometimes we just need a little nudge to actually be able to, you know, TELL you about them.
