Ronnie has written the urban fantasies Grave Report and Books of Winter, LitRPG Monster Slayer Online, and space western Shepherd of Light. He’s probably best known to epic fantasy fans for his new Tales of Tremaine duology, starting with the First Binding that came out in August of 2022.</p><p><br></p><p>Ronnie and I chat about his time working as a mechanic and his love of cars, our authorial anxieties, and our massive lack of skills outside making up fantasy worlds. We discuss the challenges and foibles of indie publishing, and the way Ronnie jumps between writing multiple genres in the course of a single day.
