I don’t normally reblog posts that I haven’t written, but when Amanda said she had a Guild of Dreams post featuring an interview with Peter V. Brett, author of the Demon Cycle books, how could I not?
Enjoy this interview with a best-selling author!

Guild Of Dreams

51hu1K5f9LLAbout eight years ago, my husband came home from work and announced that his coworker Peter had given notice so he could become a full-time fantasy author. Curious and skeptical, I bought the coworker’s book, thinking, “Let’s see what this guy’s got.” I quickly learned he had the right stuff. From the opening lines about a community gathering together in the wake of a strange fire, New York Times Bestseller The Warded Man hooked me, and I’ve been a loyal follower of Arlen, Lessa, Roger, Renna, Ahmann, and Inevera since. My copy of The Skull Throne, Book Four of The Demon Cycle, published by Del Rey, will be delivered to my Kindle today, and I look forward to reading it on an upcoming family vacation.

My name is Bruce. As far as I know, I'm not named after anyone in particular, but I quite often point out that the last king of Scotland was Robert the Bruce, though I'm not sure how he rates a "the " in his name and I don't (perhaps "Bruce the Blake" doesn't have quite the same ring to it). I'm divorced and trying to find my way through dating in my forties, and somehow managed to father two amazing children. Born in Nova Scotia, the son of a military man, my family moved around a lot when I was a kid, with three stints in Nova Scotia, as well as P.E.I. and B.C. before getting stuck in Ontario (no offence to anyone who lives there, but I've become one of those stuck up British Columbians you all hate who thinks if you don't live in B.C., there must be mental illness in your family). Officially, I work as a sales manager at a new car dealership in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, but don't let my vocation colour your opinion of me (or the way I spell colour, labour and the like, for that matter). In reality, I am a writer struggling to get published in a way that will earn me an income (for my stories that are published and don't make me any money, you can go to "All the Books" and find links). They say it takes three things to become a successful author: skill, time and persistence. Number three, I've got; number one you can read my stories and decide for yourself; that sucker in the middle always seems so difficult to find.
