Welcome to the Roundtable!

Welcome to our latestThis is my first time hosting one of these, so bear with me as I figure it all out.On this first day of spring, we’ve got four amazing Fantasy authors ready to answer your questions about their stories, the Fantasy genre, and/or writing in general. I'll start the conversation off with a few questions, but pleasewith your own questions. Don't be shy!Our guests this week are Megan O'Keefe, Will Wight, John Marco, and James Barclay.Megan was raised amongst journalists, and as soon as she was able, joined them by crafting a newsletter which chronicled the daily adventures of the local cat population. She has worked in both arts management and graphic design, and spends her free time tinkering with anything she can get her hands on. Megan lives in the Bay Area of California and makes soap for a living. It's only a little like Fight Club. She is a first place winner in the Writers of the Future competition. Angry Robot Books just released her debut novelWill is the author of thetrilogy, and he has dominion over all sea creatures. He graduated from the University of Central Florida with his Master's of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. He still lives in Orlando, and he can smell fear.John is a fantasy writer and is most known for histrilogy as well as the books of the. He also writes short stories from time to time.
