Wes is the author of the Lives of Tao and Time Salvager. In addition to his own work, he’s written tie-in fiction for both the Walking Dead and Cassandra Claire’s Mortal Instruments. Wes and Brian have been friends since their debut novels came out in the same month back in 2013, and they dive right in to talk about their respective careers and lurking professional anxieties.
