SUMMARY:20 Questions with Todd Fahnestock
DESCRIPTION:As avid readers\, we at Cursed Dragon Ship Publishing have grown bored with the questions in “respectable” interviews. What about the really important ones\, like what is their least favorite chore or their favorite flavor of ice cream? This week we’ve booked Todd Fahnestock.\n\n\nTodd Fahnestock is an award-winning\, #1 bestselling author of fantasy for all ages and winner of the New York Public Library’s Books for the Teen Age Award. Threadweavers and The Whisper Prince Trilogy are two of his bestselling epic fantasy series. He is a winner of the 2022 Colorado Authors League Award for Writing Excellence and two-time finalist for the Colorado Book Award for Tower of the Four: The Champions Academy (2021) and Khyven the Unkillable (2022). His passions are fantasy and his quirky\, fun-loving family. When he’s not writing\, he teaches Taekwondo\, swaps middle grade humor with his son\, plays Ticket to Ride with his wife\, plots creative stories with his daughter\, and wrestles with Galahad the Weimaraner. Visit Todd at toddfahnestock.com.\n\n\nWe’ll see you tonight at 8 p.m. Central on Twitch.

SUMMARY:20 Questions with Sam Knight
DESCRIPTION:As avid readers\, we at Cursed Dragon Ship Publishing have grown bored with the questions in “respectable” interviews. What about the really important ones\, like what is their least favorite chore or their favorite flavor of ice cream? This week we’ve booked Sam Knight. \nA Colorado native\, Sam Knight spent ten years in California’s wine country before returning to the Rockies. When asked if he misses California he gets a wistful look in his eyes and replies he misses the green mountains in the winter\, but he is glad to be back home. \nHis family is filled with avid readers\, and Sam says his own passion started when he pressed his grandfather to find out what was so interesting that he just sat and stared at it. His grandfather handed him a book\, and Sam has been a reader ever since. Sam claims to have finished the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy in fourth grade and says he can still remember the look\, feel\, and smell of some of those early books. (He has been spotted sniffing books as he ruffles the pages.) \nWhile doing research for a Western novel\, Sam was not surprised to be told that\, once upon a time\, half of his family had been on the wrong side of the law. It stands to reason that when your great-great-grandfather was a marshal in Cripple Creek\, Colorado\, someone in the family had to be a horse thief. Sam was\, however\, surprised to hear the family name had originally been McKnight\, and that the thieves had taken the ‘Mc’ part of the name with them. (Or the lawmen let them have it in order to distance themselves from that side of the family.) Having served a stint working in a correctional facility\, Sam has often wondered if being a lawman runs in the blood. His great grandfather upheld the law in Mooreland\, OK\, as well as Springfield and Florence CO\, among other places\, with his sons (Sam’s grandfather and great uncle) occasionally deputized to assist. \nWhen asked why he would want to become a writer\, Sam recounts a time when he was in fifth grade. Illness stuck him in bed for two weeks with only books for companions. (This was a bit before video game phone implants were in common use.) He burned through the Xanth trilogy (back before it expanded into thirty some books)\, the Riddle of Stars trilogy\, a couple of John Carter of Mars books\, and a few Pip and Flinx novels\, relishing the moments when he would become so engrossed he would forget the ills of the physical world. A thought floated through his mind at that time\, about being able to return the favor to the authors who were providing so much to him. That thought never left\, and now he sincerely hopes anyone picking up one of his stories can find something they were looking for. \nAs well having been Distribution Manager for WordFire Press\, Senior Editor for Villainous Press\, and doing miscellaneous things for various other small publishers\, Sam started his own publishing company\, Knight Writing Press. He has curated and edited over a dozen anthologies\, is the author of six children’s books\, four short story collections\, four novels\, and over 75 short stories\, including three co-authored with Kevin J. Anderson\, two of which were media tie-ins: a Planet of the Apes story and a Wayward Pines story. Based upon his experiences curating and editing anthologies and numerous other stories\, as well as being involved in the publication of well over 400 titles in some way (he stopped counting in 2019)\, Sam released Blood from Your Own Pen: A Practical Guide on Self-Editing and Common Mistakes (now out in its 2nd Edition). \nA stay-at-home father\, Sam attempts to be a full-time writer\, but there are only so many hours left in a day after kids and slush piles. Once upon a time\, he was known to quote books the way some people quote movies\, but now he claims having a family has made him forgetful\, as a survival adaptation. Drop in and see what he is up to at SamKnight.com and knightwritingpress.com. If you have something you want to say\, leave a comment\, or contact him at sam@samknight.com or at knightwritingpress@gmail.com. If you write short stories\, check for open submissions at knightwritingpress.com.

SUMMARY:20 Questions with Marisa Wolf
DESCRIPTION:As avid readers\, we at Cursed Dragon Ship Publishing have grown bored with the questions in “respectable” interviews. What about the really important ones\, like what is their least favorite chore or their favorite flavor of ice cream? This week we’ve booked Marisa Wolf.\n\nMarisa Wolf is a second-generation nerd who started writing genre stories at six. At least one was good enough to be laminated\, and she’s been chasing that high ever since. Over the years she majored in English to get credits for reading\, taught middle school\, was headbutted by an alligator\, built a career in education\, earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do\, and finally decided to finish all those half-started stories in her head. She’s written in shared universes across SFF\, including military science fiction and space opera in the bestselling Four Horseman Universe (with six co-authored novels: Assassin\, Hunter\, and Ally with Kacey Ezell\, Night Song with Mark Wandrey\, The Lyons’ Pride and World Enders with Chris Kennedy\, and a co-edited anthology with Kacey Ezell\, Negotiation)\, urban fantasy in Hit World (with The Valkyries Initiative)\, and video and table top gaming in tie-in stories.\n\nWith over twenty short stories across multiple publishing houses\, she’s had the opportunity to range from romantic fantasy to postapocalyptic genetic nightmares\, and multiple genre points in between. Her forthcoming novel with Baen Books grew from one of those short stories\, so no wonder she’s not planning to stop any time soon.\n\nShe’s currently based in Texas\, but as she lives in an RV with her husband and their two absurd rescue dogs\, it’s anyone’s guess where in the country she is at any given moment.
