Is there any news you can tell us about the Protector of the Small graphic novel that was announced awhile back?
Tammy:
Still happening! We have an artist and it’s moving forward.
Tammy:
I usually start a first draft with the main character doing something that tells us something about them. In the upcoming TEMPESTS AND SLAUGHTER, we meet Numair/Arram as he’s screwing up in class. In Alanna, we meet her working away to get what she wants in spite of her father. […] Beka has started as a cop.
Tammy:
Once I finish Arram’s trilogy, I’m poking around with an idea set four hundred years before Alanna, with a group of kid heroes. And several of them are definitely going to be girls. This writing boys is making me weird.
Is that book you’ve mentioned in passing about Kel’s squire ever likely to actually exist?
Tammy:
I hope to do something, maybe as a short story. Right now, I’m looking in a new direction, four hundred years earlier and with younger heroes. The project to exile the Immortals to the Divine Realms is being formulated.
Tammy:
I’m working very slowly on a short story collection, and I’d definitely like to do the story of how Kalasin and Kaddar met.
